- When you connect up your TA-E2000ESD, set the unit to the "Source Direct"
- mode, over-drive the analog audio input, and then attempt to explain why
- the A/D overload LED comes on and the output goes into severe digital
- distortion on peaks. The "processing circuitry" that the manual refers to
- as being by-passed are the DSP functions. The analog signal is still
- going through the A/D->D/A converters. (But I'd love to be proved wrong!)
