Using the PURE DIRECT switch

RX-485 only

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio sources by setting this switch ON. By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, eliminating any alterations to the audio signal.

When you listen with headphones

Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. When listening with headphones privately, set both the SPEAKERS A and B switches to the OFF position.
