signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the
pure analog or digital sound source. Processing differs

least modification next to PURE DIRECT. With

• PURE DIRECT – Plays back unmodified sound from
source with only minimal digital treatment. No sound
is output from the Speaker B in this mode.
