Marantz: Pure Direct vs Source Direct

2300 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  samplesj
I've noticed that the new SR8500 features 'pure direct' mode. My older SR9300 has 'source direct' and on Marantz's website is now listed as not having 'pure direct'.


Can someone please confirm for me that these two terms mean the same thing, that is, they both completely bypass the receiver's processing?


Thanks.

Yes, I am pretty sure they are the same thing.
Sometimes Pure Direct means to turn off video circuitry (no front panel lcd) in additon to the normal source direct.
