How to Assign an Input for the Bypass function
Any of the six inputs can be turned into a Bypass input. This includes the balanced XLR jacks
for inputs 1 and 2. To assign an input for the Bypass mode you must use the remote control
supplied with the JC 2 BP to setup the Bypass function. The remote control supplied with the
original JC 2 (non-BP version) cannot be used to assign a Bypass input.

Be very careful to turn down the volume control on your surround sound
processor or receiver before you select the input that you have assigned to Bypass.

The
JC 2 BP in Bypass mode outputs the signal at the same level it is received. If your surround
sound receiver or processor volume level is very high when you assign an input to Bypass it
could give you a startling blast of sound and damage your speakers.

Using the Input Assigned for the Bypass Function
When you select the input for which the Bypass mode has been assigned, the

and the front channels coming from your surround processor or receiver.

The JC 2 BP volume control knob will not respond if you push the remote control volume up and
down keys while an input assigned for Bypass is selected. This prevents you from accidentally
increasing the JC 2 BP volume and hearing a loud surprise when you select a non-Bypass input
while its source component is playing.
