Routes input signals directly to the power amplifier from your CD player, regardless of the INPUT selector setting. 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.
