About the Listening Modes

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.
