Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)

The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.

Select the mode to suit your tastes.

PURE DIRECT mode

1 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)
