Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the
pure analog or digital sound source (see Stream direct
with different input signal formats on page 96).
1 While listening to a source, press
RECEIVER
, then
press
AUTO/DIRECT
(
AUTO SURR
/
STREAM DIRECT
) to
select the mode you want.
Check the digital format indicators in the front panel
display to see how the source is being processed.
• AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on page 30.
• DIRECT – Sources are heard according to the
settings made in the Surround Setup (speaker
setting, channel level, speaker distance, acoustic
calibration EQ, and X-curve), as well as with dual
mono, the input attenuator, any sound delay and hi-
bit settings. You will hear sources according to the
number of channels in the signal.
• PURE DIRECT – Analog and PCM sources are heard
without any digital processing.

No sound is output
from the Second Zone in this mode.
Selecting MCACC presets
• Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different listening
positions

, you can switch between settings to suit the
kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).
Note
1 When using F.S.SURR WIDE, a better effect can be obtained if Auto MCACC Setup is performed. See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto
MCACC) on page 10 for more on this.
