DIRECT STEREO

Notes

•To avoid unexpected noise, do not play DTS-encoded CDs in this mode.

•When multi-channel signals (Dolby Digital and DTS) are input, this unit automatically switches to the corresponding analog input. (When DTS is selected as an input mode, no sound will be heard.)

•No sound will be output from the subwoofer.

•TONE CONTROL (page 26) and SET MENU (page 48) settings are not effective.

•The front panel display automatically dims.

•If you press AMP on the remote control to select the AMP mode, then press DIRECT ST., the unit automatically enters Direct Stereo mode and you cannot toggle between the unit’s other sound field programs.

■Night listening modes

The night listening modes are designed to improve listenability at lower volumes or at night. Choose either NIGHT:CINEMA or NIGHT:MUSIC depending on the type of material you are playing.

Press AMP to select the AMP mode, then press NIGHT repeatedly on the remote control to select cinema or music.

When night listening is selected, the NIGHT indicator in the front panel display lights up.
