Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch You can enjoy the purest possible CD sound from your CD player by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. By doing so, CD's input signals are sent to the built-in amplifier special for CD directly bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, and then sent to the power amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the purest CD sound eliminating any alterations to the CD signals. 3 2 3 LOUDNESS l FLAT 30 dB l0 9 Turn until the desired volume is gained. 4 5 6 7 8 CD DIRECT AMP Using the PURE DIRECT switch You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio sources by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. By doing so, the audio signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals. PURE DIRECT Note If both the CD DIRECT and PURE DIRECT switches are on, only the CD DIRECT switch will function. 9 TUNING OPERATIONS Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is possible.
