7.1 Analog Audio Inputs

Main Analog Audio Outputs

Programmable Out

Normally, all balanced and unbalanced input signals appear at both the balanced and the unbal- anced outputs of the C 1, including its Record, and Programmable outputs, but only signals going to the main 7.1-channel outputs are affected by whatever surround, tone-control, and other DSP (digital signal processor) settings you select.

There is a Bypass mode which sends signals directly from the left and right balanced inputs to the left front and right front balanced output jacks, avoiding the DSP section, for additional assurance of the signal’s purity (see the “Source Setup” in the chapter on “Adjustments, Menus, and Setup”). In Bypass mode, signals from the balanced outputs are not available at the recording or Zone outputs; if the balanced source also has unbalanced outputs, connecting them as well will make its signal available for recording or remote-zone listening.

Bypass only affects the balanced outputs, so its benefits are only available with amplifiers that accept balanced signals.
