Using Stereo/Direct

If you switch on Midnight listening, Loudness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automati- cally switches to STEREO.

When you select one of the Advanced surround options, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS decoding is done automatically corresponding to the input signal. Use Advanced surround to add effects to the surround sound.

The Advanced surround effects can be adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 (the default setting is 70) by pressing RCV then pressing EFFECT +/– . The effect level can be set for each Advanced surround mode. The Standard mode cannot be changed.
