Using the PURE DIRECT switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio sources by setting this switch so that the indicator above the INPUT selector on the front panel illuminates. By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the LOUDNESS (for CX-2 only), BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE controls, eliminating any alterations to the audio signal.
