Adjusting the tonal quality

■Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only)
CD Direct Amp feature

Generates a normal phase and reverse phase signal for both the left and right channels from the input signal and uses the four electronic volumes to send a balanced signal to the amplifying circuit. This feature provides clearer sound as a result of:

•improved signal-to-noise ratio

•external noise canceling

•reduced distortion

Routes input signals from your CD player directly to the specially built-in amplifier for the CD player. As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls and then sent to the power amplifier, thus eliminating any alterations to the CD signals and creating the purest possible sound. The CD DIRECT AMP indicator lights up and the front panel display turns off after a few seconds.
