Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)

The AVR-2805 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.

Select the mode to suit your tastes.

1

PURE DIRECT mode

 

In this mode, the music is played with

an

 

extremely high level of sound quality.

 

 

When this mode is set, all the video-related

 

circuits are turned off so that music signals can

 

be reproduced with high quality. When an

 

analog mode is selected, the digital processing

 

circuitry is also turned off to achieve analog

 

sound with even higher purity. (See NOTES)

to achieve good quality 2-

 

 

 

channel sound while watching images. In this

 

 

 

mode, the audio signals bypass such circuits as

 

 

 

the tone circuit

and are transmitted directly,
