When you select STEREO, you will hear the source
through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker

are downmixed to stereo.

playback.

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 (see Stream direct
with different input signal formats on page 88).

Note
1 There are cases where a brief noise is heard before playback of sources other than PCM. Please select AUTO SURROUND or DIRECT if this is a problem.
2 Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you're using your system. These pre-
sets can be set in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 7 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 34, either of which you should
have already completed.
3 You can't use these settings when MULTI CH IN is switched on, and they has no effect when headphones are connected.
