Speaker selection 8 ‘DIRECT’ - allows selection of the ‘analog’ signals connected to the currently selected input
sources L & R RCA audio inputs overriding the use of optical or coax S/PDIF. No processing is applied to the
audio signals other than level control. Use ‘DIRECT’ when NO audio processing is desired, This may be desirable
if you use an outboard digtal-to-analog converter or Super Audio CD player. Note, while in ‘DIRECT’, the
equalizer feature of your unit is not available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).
Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ - Normally, your tape outputs contain the analog L/R inputs from the selected source.
If you wish to make a recording from the digital inputs, select mode 9 (LtRt - Left total, Right total)). Selecting an
audio mode for use with speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ effects all inputs simultaneously. This feature allows ‘LtRt’ to
stay in effect until the unit is put to SLEEP, or you select an audio mode for use with other than 9 speakers.
Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’, is not allowed for use in Favorite Mode setup. Your receiver will convert the digital
signal to a Dolby Surround compatible 2 channel signal for recording. Upon playback you will get matrix surround
encoded sound, even if the original signal was Dolby Digital or DTS. Note that the LtRt signal also appears at
your front left and right speakers and is full range. If you use small front speakers it is recommended that you turn
down the volume before engaging LtRt mode. Note, while in ‘LtRt’, the equalizer feature of your unit is not
available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).
Why do I need all these audio modes and speaker selections?
Many people will be happy leaving their receiver in the SURROUND audio mode all the time. Your receiver will
automatically switch back and forth between Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS. Stereo material will be
played back with Pro Logic decoding. Pro Logic’s extraction of mono information to the center channel works just
as well on stereo (non-Pro Logic encoded) material and may provide improved imaging, especially when sitting
away from the “sweet spot” in the center of your speakers. Only Dolby Surround encoded 2-channel material has
true surround speaker information. However, Pro Logic’s surround speaker processing may provide a pleasing
ambiance effect on many stereo (non-Pro Logic) soundtracks.
