modes exclusively for music.

This mode reproduces the sound with extremely high
quality. When this mode is set, all circuits and processes
not required for the selected input source (FL tube, video
circuit and tone control, as well as digital circuitry and other
unnecessary circuits for analog audio inputs) are
automatically turned off so the music signals can be
reproduced with high sound quality.

Press the DIRECT/STEREO button to select the

DIRECT mode.

The mode switches as shown below each time the
DIRECT/STEREO button on the main unit is pressed.
¢DIRECT mode
Use this mode to achieve good quality 2-channel sound. In
this mode, the audio signals bypass such circuits as the
tone circuit and are transmitted directly, resulting in good
quality sound.
