I didn't see anything direct bypass switch for stereo only out for analog signals. These are exerbs fromm their site. The direct switch seems to be for the analog output stage, not the DSP bypass. Maybe it's in your manual but it's not on the site.


"A massive toroidal transformer is at the heart of the AVR100's superior performance on music. This massive power supply, and the use of audiophile quality components at critical points in the signal path, together give a demonstratively better sound on music sources than other AV receivers at comparable prices. Tone control circuits are included along with a direct button which by-passes these for optimum sound quality. The AVR100 is capable of delivering 70 watts to all five channels and will deliver around 90 watts per channel when used in stereo."

"A massive power supply with a custom built 550VA toroidal transformer gives the power amplifier section an extremely solid and controlled sound. The use of audiophile grade components in critical signal paths ensures that music is reproduced withsubtlety and precision. A bypass switch for the tone control circuits further simplifies the stereo signal path and, when activated, gives a surprising improvement in sound quality."

"The AVR 100 is rated at 70 watts per channel in five channel mode and will deliver more than 90 watts per channel when used in stereo mode. Speaker impedance is selectable between 8 ohms and 4-6 ohms. Six 2 channel audio inputs are provided, along with a direct 6 channel input for connection to multi-channel analogue audio sources such as DVD-Audio. There are three digital inputs connected to a powerful 24 bit digital signal processor and six 24 bit DACs for decoding Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS encoded material. Video routing, complete with on screen graphics, is available for up to four composite and s-video sources."
