Audio Modes
Reference Stereo Mode
Reference Stereo Mode provides the purest listening experience, with the fewest options for
processing or modifying the signal.
In Reference Stereo Mode:
•
The output is always TWO CHANNEL STEREO.
•
There is NO bass management, and NOTHING is sent to the subwoofer.
•
You CANNOT use the Loudness Control, or the Tone Presets, or the Tone Trims.
•
You CANNOT use Dirac Live or the manual Parametric EQ Presets.
•
Level Trims, which operate in the analog domain, are still available.
•
Speaker Distance adjustments are active for digital inputs but not for analog inputs.
•
Stereo analog input signals are passed straight to the Volume Control and the outputs.
•
Stereo digital input signals are converted to analog then sent to the Volume Control.
•
Surround sound digital signals are decoded, mixed down to stereo (the Center Channel and
LFE signals, if present, are mixed into the stereo output), and converted to analog.
Note: Because Reference Stereo Mode does not include bass management, care should be
used when playing "small" speakers in this mode. Reference Stereo Mode CANNOT be selected
using the "Mode Up/Down" buttons, but can be selected as the current mode in the Main Zone
Configuration Menu, and can be configured as the default mode for an input.
Note: In Reference Stereo Mode and Direct Mode, you cannot use the Dolby Surround Upmixer,
the DTS Neural:X upmixer, or any other post processing mode intended to "enhance" the audio
signal. Decoding is limited to converting digital surround signals to analog using the highest
quality, purest decoding method possible.
Direct Mode
Direct Mode provides a relatively pure listening experience, and eliminates most processing, but
still retains bass management.
In Direct Mode:
•
The output contains the same number of channels as the input signal.
•
No extra channels are synthesized; if the output channel that corresponds to a given input
channel is not present, that channel signal is mixed into the appropriate available
channels.
•
Bass management IS available and the subwoofer IS active.
•
You CANNOT use the Loudness Control, or the Tone Presets, or the Tone Trims
•
You CANNOT use Dirac Live or the manual Parametric EQ Presets.
•
Level Trims, which operate in the analog domain, are still available.
•
Speaker Distance adjustments are available for both analog and digital inputs.
