The Direct Mode description in the manual is rather vague - all it mentions is it curs out unwanted circuitry..
I used to assume that it cut everything out including bass management (like pure) but I now see this isnt the case as if you turn the volume up the display indicates the sub is still working and I can still feel the sub(speakers set to small) .. My ? is though - has it cut out all YPAO and basically set every speaker to an identical level.. I seem to get better vocal presentation on direct than i do on "straight" which obviously uses YPAO.. Just wondered if someone had a correct answer as I seem to get various answers from google search and Yamahas full manual sheds no light on it compared to say pure direct
