Amplifier

AMP / BYPASS

 switch lets you turn the amplifier 

for TV signals on (AMP) or off (BYPASS). Most 
TV channels will perform better with this switch 
left in the AMP position. However, if a channel is 
not providing the performance you expect, try 
watching it with this switch in the BYPASS position 
to see if that makes a difference.
