You can select a variety of listening modes to suit the audio format of the signal being input.
The Stereo mode can be selected with any audio format.
When analog signals are being input in the Pure Direct mode, the modes switches to the Analog Direct mode which passes signals directly to the amplifier without passing through the DSP (Digital Signal Processor).
Listening modes available when headphones are connected are Pure Direct and Stereo only.
We plan to provide support for the DTS:X audio format through firmware updates for this unit. This means that the selectable listening modes depend on the version of firmware.
On firmware version before DTS:X support
You can select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music.
On firmware version after DTS:X support
You can select DTS:X and DTS Neural:X. (You cannot select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music after updating.)
