The indicator around the front panel button goes out and the previous settings are restored.

Notes

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

When a multi-channel signal (Dolby Digital or DTS) is input, this unit automatically switches to the corresponding analog input.

No sound will be output from the subwoofer.

The following operations are not possible during PURE DIRECT operation:

– switching the sound field program

– displaying the OSD

– adjusting SET MENU parameters

– all video functions (video conversion etc.)

PURE DIRECT is automatically cancelled whenever this unit is set to the standby mode.

Select NIGHT:CINEMA when watching films to reduce the dynamic range of film soundtracks and make dialog easier to hear at lower volumes.

Select NIGHT:MUSIC when listening to music sources to preserve ease-of-listening for all sounds.

Select OFF if you do not want to use this function.

Press j / i to adjust the effect level while

NIGHT:CINEMA or NIGHT:MUSIC is displayed.
