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

controls

Adjust the high and low frequency response.

The center position produces a flat response.

BASS

When you feel a lack of bass sound, rotate clockwise to

boost. When you feel excessive bass sound, rotate

counterclockwise to suppress.

Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)

TREBLE

When you feel a lack of treble sound, rotate clockwise to

boost. When you feel excessive treble sound, rotate

certain level, the input signals bypass the loudness control,

resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To

prevent your ears or the speakers from being damaged, be

sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE

DIRECT switch) AFTER lowering the sound output level

or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is

properly set.
