TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and the PRE

OUT/MAIN IN terminals, and then sent to the power

amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the purest sound

eliminating any alterations to the CD or DVD signals.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio

sources by pressing this switch. The indicator above this

switch lights up. With this function on, the audio signals

bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS

controls and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, thus

eliminating any alterations to the audio signals.

Notes

● If both the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT

switches are on, only the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch

will function.

● If this unit is turned off, sound may be distorted when

listening to a source with headphones that are connected

to an externally connected unit such as the CD player,

tape deck, etc.

● If any of the external units connected to this unit is turned

off, sound may be distorted when playing a source on

another unit that is also connected to this unit.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls

BASS: Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter-

clockwise to decrease) the low frequency

response.

TREBLE: Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter

clockwise to decrease) the high frequency

response.

Adjusting the continuously variable

LOUDNESS control

This control compensates for the human ears’ loss of

sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.

This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any

volume level.

Set to the “FLAT” position.

Set to the loudest listening level

that you would listen to.

Turn until the desired volume is

obtained.

WARNING

If the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch or PURE DIRECT

switch is pressed to turn it on with the LOUDNESS

control set at a certain level, the sound will suddenly

increase and may damage your ears or the speakers.

(The LOUDNESS control function may be bypassed.)

For this reason, be sure to press the CD/DVD DIRECT

AMP switch or PURE DIRECT switch after lowering the

volume or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is

properly set.
