Normally, all balanced and unbalanced input signals appear at both the balanced and the unbal-
anced outputs of the C 1, including its Record, and Programmable outputs, but only signals
going to the main 7 .1-channel outputs are affected by whatever surround, tone-control, and other
DSP (digital signal processor) settings you select.
There is a Bypass mode which sends signals directly from the left and right balanced inputs
to the left front and right front balanced output jacks, avoiding the DSP section, for additional
assurance of the signal's purity (see the "Source Setup" in the chapter on "Adjustments,
Menus, and Setup"). In Bypass mode, signals from the balanced outputs are not available at
the recording or Zone outputs; if the balanced source also has unbalanced outputs, connecting
them as well will make its signal available for recording or remote-zone listening.
Bypass only affects the balanced outputs, so its benefits are only available with amplifiers that
accept balanced signals.
