Besides, if you activate Zone 2/3 while Pure Audio is selected, the listening mode will automatically switch to Direct.

Based on the audio channel signal contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound.

The AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN. Depending on the player, setting the output on the player side to PCM might bring better sound.
