It is important to configure an input source in
Home Theater Bypass
mode only if the connected device has its own
volume control. Do not connect a source device (such as a CD player or DVD player) without volume control to an input
source in
Home Theater Bypass
mode, since the high output level may cause damage to downstream amplifiers and
speakers.
Although digital input sources can be configured to
Home Theater Bypass
mode, it is not recommended. This is
because most digital source components do not offer volume control. However, if you intend to use the HA-1 as a pure
DAC device connected to another pre-amplifier with proper volume control, you should configure the digital input
source to
Home Theater Bypass
mode. This will ensure that the DAC output bypasses the HA-1’s volume control.
Home Theater Bypass
mode only affects the
Pre-Amplifier Output
. The
Headphone Jack
output volume is still
controlled by the
Volume Knob
for sources in
Home Theater Bypass
mode.
The
Home Theater Bypass
setting applies to the current input source. Unlike the other settings, this setting is per
input, not global. If you need to configure
Home Theater Bypass
mode for multiple input sources, please select each
input source and then change the setting. The following selections are available:
Standard (Variable Volume)
(default) – The current input source is in standard mode.
The Pre-Amplifier
Output
level is controlled by the Volume Knob.
Bypass (Fixed Level)
– The current input source is in
Home Theater Bypass
mode. The
Pre-Amplifier
Output
level is fixed at the same level as the input signal, and the
Volume Knob
does not affect the
Pre-
Amplifier Output
.
When the
Bypass (Fixed Level)
option is selected, you will be asked to confirm again due to the danger of sending a
high signal level to the
Pre-Amplifier Output
. Please make your selection and push the
Source Selector Knob
to
confirm.
