The audio signal from the program source is directed to the bypass
circuit, which sends the signal through the minimum required circuit
length to minimize signal degradation in the signal path.

from the TAPE 1and TAPE 2 jacks are not output to.the speakers or
headphones.
To output the tape deck signals, the SOURCE DIRECT switch should
be set to OFF.
