![]() ![]() Then switch to Pure Direct what happens then? For my 805, the sub is gone (no bass management), if your sub is still active then the Pure Direct Mode is probably like I described above. In standard modes the subwoofer should still be active. Play any source material that does not have a LFE channel. AirPlay Allows Streaming Music to AV receiver. Maybe newer Yamaha models use Pure Direct like I just described. There are two modes, Basic and Advanced, that you can choose according to the type of adjustments you want to do. Other post-decoding digital processing functions are still turned-off. I assume that this function was created for those systems that have speakers that are not full range capable so the crossovers (and sub) are still in full use. In this mode, the bass management system still works normally, but other digital processes are turned-off. Recently I learned that newer receivers (some Denon models for one) have what they call a Pure Direct Mode. ![]() When in direct mode all digital processing was bypassed. Note that older Denon models work this way at least my 3300 did. To use either of these modes you must have full range speakers since the crossovers are all set to "large." IMO, neither of these modes are very good since the bass management system is off and Audyssey is off also. ![]() Both turn-off all post-decoding digital processing including bass management, Audyssey, and all other "listening modes." In addition, the "pure" mode also turns-off the display and the video processor (implying that these two items produce audible noise ). Onkyo (at least the 805) has separate "pure" & "direct" modes. I am not familiar with Yamaha's version, but I am very familiar with Onkyo and to a lesser degree Denon. Just a note to mention that Pure/Direct seems to mean different things to different manufacturers. ![]()
