Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the
pure analog or digital sound source. Processing differs
depending on the input signal and whether or not
surround back speakers are connected. For details, see
Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with different input
signal formats on
page 106.
1 Press on the remote control.
2 While listening to a source, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) to select
the mode you want.
Check the digital format indicators in the front panel
display to see how the source is being processed.
• AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on page 53.
• ALC – Listening in Auto level control mode (page 53).
• DIRECT – Plays back sound from the source with the
least modification next to PURE DIRECT. With
DIRECT, the only modifications added to PURE
DIRECT playback are calibration of the sound field by
the MCACC system and the Phase Control effect.
Note
1 The SOUND RETRIEVER AIR listening mode can only selected when the ADAPTER PORT input.
