Adjusting the tonal quality

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound. The PURE DIRECT indicator lights up and the front panel display turns off after a few seconds.
