Speaker selection 8 ‘DIRECT’ - allows selection of the ‘analog’ signals connected to the currently selected input
sources L & R RCA audio inputs overriding the use of optical or coax S/PDIF. No processing is applied to the
audio signals other than level c ontrol. Use ‘DIRECT ’ when NO audio pr ocess ing is desir ed, T his m ay be desirable
if you use an outboard digtal-to-analog c onverter or Super Audio CD player. Note, while in ‘DIRECT’, the equalizer
feature of your unit is not available and disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).
Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ - Norm ally, your tape outputs contain the analog L/R inputs f rom the selected s ource.
If you wish to m ake a recording f rom the digital inputs, select m ode 9 (LtRt - Left total, Right total)). Selecting an
audio mode for use with speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’ effects all inputs simultaneously. This feature allows ‘LtRt’ to
stay in effect until the unit is put to SLEEP, or you select an audio mode for use with other than 9 speakers.
Speaker selection 9 ‘LtRt’, is not allowed for use in Favorite Mode setup. Your receiver will convert the digital
signal to a Dolby Surround compatible 2 c hannel signal for recor ding. Upon playback you will get matrix sur round
encoded sound, even if the original signal was Dolby Digital or DTS. Note that the LtRt signal also appears at your
front left and right speakers and is full range. If you use small front speakers it is recommended that you turn down
the volume befor e engaging LtRt mode.

Why do I need all these audio modes and speaker selections?
Many people will be happy leaving their receiver in the SURROUND audio mode all the time. Your receiver will
automatically switch back and forth between Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS. Stereo material will be
played back with Pro Logic decoding. Pro Logic’s ex traction of m ono inform ation to the center channel works just
as well on stereo (non-Pro Logic encoded) material and may provide improved imaging, especially when sitting
away from the “sweet s pot” in the center of your speak ers. Only Dolby Surround encoded 2-channel m aterial has
true surround speaker information. However, Pro Logic’s surround speaker processing may provide a pleasing
ambiance effect on many stereo (non-Pro Logic) soundtracks.
