PLAYBACK

■Listening to high fidelity stereo sound

with Direct Stereo

Direct Stereo bypasses this unit’s decoders and DSP processors, allowing you to enjoy high fidelity sound from 2-channel PCM and analog sources.

y

This operation is recommended for use when high fidelity stereo sound is desired with playback of a video source. Otherwise, PURE DIRECT is recommended for the highest possible sound fidelity (see page 37).

Rotate PROGRAM (or press STEREO repeatedly) to select DIRECT STEREO.

The front panel display automatically dims.

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 selects an analog signal 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 35) and SET MENU (page 56) settings are not effective.

■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 NIGHT on the remote control repeatedly to select cinema or music.

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

•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 l / h to adjust the effect level while

NIGHT:CINEMA or NIGHT:MUSIC is displayed.

This adjusts the level of compression.

NIGHT:CINEMA and NIGHT:MUSIC adjustments are stored independently.

Notes

•You cannot use the night listening modes with PURE DIRECT, MULTI CH INPUT, or when headphones are connected (even though the NIGHT indicator lights up when PURE DIRECT is selected).

•The night listening modes may vary in effectiveness depending on the input source and surround sound settings you use.
