Using the PURE DIRECT switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your sources by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. The signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, the SUBSONIC FILTER switch (AX-592 and AX-892 only), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (AX-592 and AX- 892 only), eliminating any alterations to the signals.

Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch

For the best CD sound, set this switch so the indicator illuminates. The CD input signal is sent to a separate circuit, bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, SUBSONIC FILTER switch (AX-592 and AX-892 only), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (AX- 592 and AX-892 only) and then goes directly to the amplifier. This signal routing ensures the purest CD sound, eliminating any alterations to the original CD signals.

Note

If both the CD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT switches are on, only the CD DIRECT AMP switch will function.

When the LOUDNESS control has been set, if the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch is pressed, the sound will suddenly increase and may damage your ears or the speaker (the LOUDNESS control function may be bypassed). Therefore, only press the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch after lowering the volume or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
