Using Stream Direct

Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the pure analog or digital sound source (see Stream direct with different input signal formats on page 81).

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).

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