Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch
(R-S700 only)
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.
• If both the CD DIRECT AMP and the PURE DIRECT switches
are turned on, only the CD DIRECT AMP switch will function.
• The INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and
LOUDNESS controls do not function while the CD DIRECT
AMP feature is turned on.
• A CD player must be connected to the CD jacks in order to use
the CD DIRECT AMP feature.
• This setting is retained even if you turn off this unit.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch
Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the
input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and
LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to
the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.
The PURE DIRECT indicator lights up and the front panel
display turns off after a few seconds.
• The BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and LOUDNESS controls
do not function while the PURE DIRECT feature is turned on.
• This setting is retained even if you turn off this unit.
Adjusting the tonal quality
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
