to turn the Pure Direct mode on or off.

The 8PURE DIRECT button lights up while this unit is in the Pure Direct mode. The front panel display automatically dims.

–switching the sound field program

–displaying the OSD

–adjusting the “SET MENU” parameters (except for level settings)

–operating video functions (video conversion, etc.)

•The Pure Direct mode is automatically canceled whenever this unit is turned off.
