this unit automatically switches to the corresponding analog
input.

DIRECT operation:
– switching the sound field program
– displaying the OSD
– adjusting SET MENU parameters
– all video functions (video conversion etc.)
• PURE DIRECT is automatically cancelled whenever this unit is
set to the standby mode.
■ Night listening modes
The night listening modes are designed to improve
listenability at lower volumes or at night. Choose either
NIGHT:CINEMA or NIGHT:MUSIC depending on the
type of material you are playing.
Press NIGHT on the remote control repeatedly to
select cinema or music.
When night listening is selected, the NIGHT indicator in
the front panel display lights up.
• Select NIGHT:CINEMA when watching films to
reduce the dynamic range of film soundtracks and
make dialog easier to hear at lower volumes.
• Select NIGHT:MUSIC when listening to music sources
to preserve ease-of-listening for all sounds.
• Select OFF if you do not want to use this function.
Press j / i to adjust the effect level while
NIGHT:CINEMA or NIGHT:MUSIC is displayed.
This adjusts the level of compression.
• Select MIN for minimum compression.

NIGHT:CINEMA and NIGHT:MUSIC adjustments are stored
independently.

or MULTI CH INPUT (even though the NIGHT indicator lights
up when PURE DIRECT is selected).

on the input source and surround sound settings you use.
