■ Using PURE DIRECT
PURE DIRECT bypasses the decoders and DSP
processors of this unit as well as shuts down the video
circuitry, allowing you to enjoy the highest possible sound
fidelity from analog and PCM sources.
• To avoid unexpected noise, do not play DTS-encoded CDs in
the PURE DIRECT mode.
• When a multi-channel signal (Dolby Digital or DTS) is input,
this unit automatically switches to the corresponding analog
input. When DTS is selected as an input mode, no sound will be
heard.
• No sound will be output from the subwoofer.

settings are ineffective in the PURE DIRECT mode.
