Listening to uncompromising pure audio

PURE DIRECT allows you to enjoy the highest possible fidelity from audio sources connected to the 2CH IN PURE DIRECT or MULTI CH IN jacks. This function bypasses all of this unit's decoders and digital circuitry to provide uncompromised audio fidelity. It also turns off the front panel display and the power to this unit's video circuitry to eliminate noise.

INPUT SELECTOR cannot be used to select other sources when PURE DIRECT is selected.
