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.
While listening to a source, press AUTO/
DIRECT to select Stream Direct mode.
AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on 
page 34.
DIRECT – Sources are heard according to 
the settings made in the Surround Setup 
(speaker setting, channel level, speaker 
distance), as well as with dual mono 
settings.
1
 You will hear sources according 
to the number of channels in the signal. 
PURE DIRECT – Analog and PCM sources 
are heard without any digital processing.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the 
compression process, sound quality often 
suffers from an uneven sound image. The 
Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP 
technology that helps bring CD quality sound 
back to compressed 2-channel audio by 
restoring sound pressure and smoothing 
jagged artifacts left over after compression.

Press RECEIVER, then press S.RETRIEVER 
to switch the sound retriever on or off.
Listening with Acoustic 
Calibration EQ
• Default  setting: 
ON
You can listen to sources using the Acoustic 
Calibration Equalization set in Automatically 
setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
 on 
page 9. Refer to these pages for more on 
Acoustic Calibration Equalization. 
While listening to a source, press 
RECEIVER, then press EQ to switch the 
Acoustic Calibration EQ on or off.
The MCACC indicator on the front panel lights 
when Acoustic Calibration EQ is active.

Using surround back channel 
processing
You can have the receiver automatically use 
6.1 or 7.1 decoding for 6.1 encoded sources 
(for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or 
you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1 
decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded 
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a 
surround back channel will be generated, but 
the material may sound better in the 5.1 
format for which it was originally encoded (in 
which case, you can simply switch surround 
back channel processing off).
Note
1 In  the 
DIRECT mode, Phase Control, Acoustic Calibration EQ, Sound Delay, Auto Delay, LFE Attenuate and Center image 
functions are available.
2 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.
3 The Sound Retriever is only applicable to 2-channel sources.
