Pure Direct Mode
Pure Direct is a special listening mode that
provides the highest possible signal purity. It can
be used for both analog and digital sources, with
two-channel or multi-channel inputs. When it is
selected, the signal follows the most direct path
and power to the video circuit is shut down.
Certain modes are not operational and even the
display is turned off, lighting for only a few
seconds when a function is used.

Quad-Field/Tri-Field CINEMA DSP and
34 Surround Programs
Yamaha’s ultra-sophisticated Quad-Field and Tri-
Field CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly
realistic soundscapes in your room. 34 surround
programs provide full format compatibility and
extensive listening choices.
Night Listening Enhancer
During low-volume listening, such as late at
night, dynamic range suffers and you may miss
some sounds. The Night Listening Enhancer
offers two modes, Cinema and Music, with three-
level selectability, which will ensure that you
don’t miss movie dialogue or quiet passages, or
lose overall surround spaciousness. It works for
all surround programs, including Dolby Pro
Logic IIx.
Clear dialogue is important for movie enjoyment, The
Dialogue Lift function causes part of the front and
center channel sound to be output from the presence
speakers, so you hear the dialogue more clearly.
