„„Direct This listening mode can be selected for all input signals. Processing that affects sound quality is shut down, and sound closer to the original is reproduced. The sound is reproduced with the sound field based on the number of channels in the input signal. For example, a 2 ch signal is output only from the front speakers. Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected. • The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled. „„ DSur (Dolby Audio - Surr) This listening mode expands 2 ch or 5.1 ch input signals to 5.1 ch, 7.1 ch or 5.1.2 ch. This mode expands actual channels to more channels for playback according to the configuration of the connected speakers. Also, even if there is no speaker for expansion, for example when only front speakers are connected, audio of surround channel or height channel is virtually created for expansion playback. According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed. -- DSur 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed -- DSur 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed -- DSur 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed -- DSur 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers are installed -- DSur 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed -- DSur 7.0/7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed -- DSur 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are installed -- DSur 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height speakers are installed -- DSur: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch", "5.1.2 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch", "4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch", "6.1.4 ch" or "7.1.4 ch" setting with surround speakers and height speakers installed. • When "Speaker Virtualizer" ( →p137) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes other than DSur cannot be selected.
