Yamaha RX-V1200 oweners, is the "processor direct" mode a true pass-through? (1 Viewer)

[Charles J P]

Hey, I was wondering if the newer Yamahas (1200, 2200, 3000) have a true passthrough on any of the regular analog inputs. If I use the 6ch inputs, I know that will be a passthrough, but what about just the CD analog ins? If I enable "processor direct" will it prevent the receiver from doing an uneccessary A/D and D/A cycle on the CD inputs?

Charles, here's a general discussion from my thread regarding Yamaha RXV800, but may still apply to newer models. It wud seem Processor Direct merely is a tone control feature. Click Here
BTW what's the distance of yr mains from the wall?

Thanks for the info. My mains are about 30" from the back wall (or is it front wall... the wall that they system is setup on.)
