Using Stream Direct

You will hear sources according to the number of channels in the signal.

PURE DIRECT – Analog sources are heard without any digital processing. No sound is output from the Second Zone in this mode.

Selecting MCACC presets

• Default setting: MEMORY 1

If you have calibrated your system for different listening

positions1, you can switch between settings to suit the kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting (for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the TV).

Note

1Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system. These pre- sets can be set in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 33, either of which you should have already completed.

2You can’t use these settings when MULTI CH IN is selected, and they have no effect when headphones are connected.
