“DSD DIRECT” is shown on the display when playing
DSD 2-channel signals in the DIRECT mode. “DSD
MULTI DIRECT” is displayed when playing DSD multi-
channel signals in the DIRECT mode (SB CH OUT
“OFF”).
When playing DSD signals in the DIRECT or PURE DIRECT
mode, the DSD signals are converted into analog signals.
When playing in other surround modes, the DSD signals are
first converted into PCM signals with a sampling frequency
of 88.2 kHz. However, when playing DSD 2-channel signals
in the STEREO mode, they are converted into PCM signals
with a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz. The input signal
and playing status can be checked by pressing the ON
SCREEN button on the remote control unit.
