signals, Stereo for 2 channel input signals, etc.) and an
indicator such as "Dolby D" is displayed on the display.

The Direct mode shuts down some processing that can
affect sound quality, such as the tone control features, so
you can enjoy even better sound quality. The Pure Direct
mode shuts down even more processes that affects sound
quality, so you get a more faithful reproduction of the
original sound. In this case, the speaker calibration made
with MCACC is disabled.
