Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch

Routes input signals directly to the power amplifier from
your CD player, regardless of the INPUT selector setting.
As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector
and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS
controls. The gain is also adjusted appropriately for CD so
that the purest possible sound is reproduced without any
alterations to the CD signals.

• The BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and

INPUT selector do not function while the CD DIRECT AMP
switch is turned on.

• Be sure to connect the CD player to the CD input jacks if you

use the CD DIRECT AMP switch.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

Routes input signals from your audio sources. As a result,
the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations
to the audio signals to produce more direct and high-grade
sound from all input sources.

The BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls do
not function while the PURE DIRECT switch is turned on.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
