modes, the tuner does not modify incoming or outgoing signals. In Operate mode tuning solutions are applied
to the incoming and outgoing signals.

Bypass and Operate mode. The BYPASS LED on the Tuner front panel is on while the tuner is in Bypass mode.

while receiving are not applied. Standby can be entered by pressing and holding the BYPASS/OPERATE button
