I posted this question here in the forum and also to Yamaha directly:
QUOTE:
I have purchased an RX-V2400. Can you please explain the difference
between "Direct Stereo" mode and "Pure Direct" mode that is now
available on the RX-V2500. Thank-you.
ANSWER:
In response to your email: Both Pure Direct and Direct Stereo are the
same feature. When you use this feature, the receiver bypasses all
decoders and DSP processors as well as shuts down the video circuitry
allowing you to enjoy the highest possible sound fidelity. Thank you!
