„ AUTO/DIRECT button
Press repeatedly and the listening modes suited to the input signal are switched
between "Auto Surround", "Direct", and "Pure Direct". After selecting one of them,
"Auto Surround" (or "Direct" or "Pure Direct") is displayed, then the most suitable
listening mode for the audio format is selected automatically (DTS for multi-
channel input signals, Stereo for 2 channel input signals, etc.) and an indicator
such as "DTS" is displayed on the display.
The display changes automatically.
The "Direct" mode shuts down some processing that can affect sound quality,
such as the tone control features, so you can enjoy even better sound quality.
The "Pure Direct" mode shuts down even more processes that affects sound
quality, so you get a more faithful reproduction of the original sound. In this case,
the speaker calibration made with MCACC is invalid.
