Using the Listening Modes
See “About the Listening Modes” in the right column for
detailed information about the listening modes.
Selecting Pure Audio Listening Mode on
the DVD receiver
Pure Audio listening mode can also be selected on the
DVD receiver’s [PURE AUDIO] button.
Pure Audio
In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in
high-fidelity reproduction.
Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-
ity reproduction.
Stereo
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer if connected.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround
sound even with only two speakers. This works by con-
trolling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.
Notes:
T-D listening mode cannot be selected while head-
phones are connected to the DVD receiver.
During playback a DVD-Audio or SACD, T-D listen-
ing mode cannot be selected.
In the case of SCART connection, the output volume
from the TV will be lower than other listening modes.

source.
