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

depending on the input signal and whether or not
surround back speakers are connected. For details, see
Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with different input
signal formats on page 106.

• DIRECT – Plays back sound from the source with the
least modification next to PURE DIRECT. With

DIRECT playback are calibration of the sound field by
the MCACC system and the Phase Control effect.
