Home Theater  Bypass

The Home Theater Bypass feature of the Soloist 3 Stereo Preamplifier allows the unit to
play direct 2-channel music or to be bypassed in a multi-channel home theater system.

The standard method to use this feature is to connect the Soloist 3 to the power amp and
music sources such as CD player, tuner, etc. The audio output of the home theater proces-
sor is then connected to the video inputs of the Soloist 3.

When the HT Bypass indicator (Front Panel of Soloist 3) is on, the video inputs are con-
nected directly to the unbalanced Main Outputs, bypassing the Soloist 3.
