Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)
The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.
Select the mode to suit your tastes.
1 PURE DIRECT mode
In this mode, the music is played with an extremely high level
of sound quality.
When this mode is set, all the video-related circuits are turned
off so that music signals can be reproduced with high quality.
When an analog mode is selected, the digital processing
circuitry is also turned off to achieve analog sound with even
higher purity. (See NOTES)
(Remote control unit)
2 DIRECT mode
Use this mode to achieve good quality 2-channel sound while
watching images. In this mode, the audio signals bypass
such circuits as the tone circuit and are transmitted directly,
resulting in good quality sound.
3 STEREO mode
Use this mode to adjust the tone and achieve the desired
sound while watching images.
NOTES:
• The system setup function cannot be used when the PURE DIRECT
mode is set. To use the system setup function, cancel the PURE
DIRECT mode.
• The ZONE2 video output is not output in the PURE DIRECT mode.
• The channel level and surround parameters in the PURE DIRECT
mode are the same as in the DIRECT mode.
• When the PURE DIRECT button is pressed while in the PURE
DIRECT mode, the PURE DIRECT mode is cancelled.
• The subwoofer's channel level must be set to "OFF" in order to
turn off the digital circuit in the PURE DIRECT mode.
