Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch

You can enjoy the purest possible CD sound from your CD player by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. By doing so, CD’s input signals are sent to the built-in special amplifier for CD directly bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, and then sent to the power amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the purest CD sound eliminating any alterations to the CD signals.
