66Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)The AVR-3805 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.Select the mode to suit your tastes.1 PURE DIRECT modeIn this mode, the music is played with an extremely high levelof sound quality.When this mode is set, all the video-related circuits are turnedoff so that music signals can be reproduced with high quality.When an analog mode is selected, the digital processingcircuitry is also turned off to achieve analog sound with evenhigher purity. (See NOTES)(Main unit)2 DIRECT modeUse this mode to achieve good quality 2-channel sound whilewatching images. In this mode, the audio signals bypasssuch circuits as the tone circuit and are transmitted directly,resulting in good quality sound.3 STEREO modeUse this mode to adjust the tone and achieve the desiredsound while watching images.(Main unit)(Main unit)4 VIDEO ON/OFF buttonWhen no video signals of a DVD, etc., are connected to theAVR-3805 and the DVD, etc., are connected directly to a TV,etc., the unneeded video circuitry can be turned off byselecting the “VIDEO OFF” setting.(Remote control unit)NOTES:• The system setup function cannot be used when the PURE DIRECTmode is set. To use the system setup function, cancel the PUREDIRECT mode.• The ZONE2 video output is not output in the PURE DIRECT mode.• The channel level and surround parameters in the PURE DIRECTmode are the same as in the DIRECT mode.• When the PURE DIRECT button is pressed while in the PUREDIRECT mode, the PURE DIRECT mode is cancelled.• The subwoofer’s channel level must be set to “OFF” in order toturn off the digital circuit in the PURE DIRECT mode.312411~332Using this mode, the DSD (2-channel/MULTI-channel)signal can be reproduced with high quality.• The display in 2-channel input.DSD DIRECT• The display in MULTI-channel inputDSD MULTI DRCT(Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)(Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)(Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)
