Note

Pure Audio cannot be selected when Zone 2 is active.

Besides, if you activate Zone 2 while Pure Audio is selected, the listening mode will automatically switch to Direct. When the input source contains the encoded front high channel, the corresponding speakers output the sound.

If there are no surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II is used.

For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system.

AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN. Setting the output setting on the player side to PCM might obtain a better sound according to the player. In that case, set the output setting on the player side to PCM.

If there are no surround back speakers, DTS is used.

• The listening modes cannot be selected with some source formats.
