Improvement using that mode on a quality playback system is subtle but apparent during critical listening
Switching between the "Pure Direct" mode (display off), and normal, display on mode, yields an almost unnoticeable difference: with the "Pure Direct" engaged, there was a barely perceptible increase in volume (measured at 0.8db)

If you push the button to open the drawer when (or before or at the same time as) you power it on, it ignores the button, and goes through it's thing trying to load the CD.

Designed to Deliver Enjoyable Sound Quality Inheriting many of the sound quality features of the S2000/S1000 Series components, the CD-S300 CD player delivers sound that will satisfy devoted music fans
In addition to CDs, it also provides high quality play of music files stored on digital audio players like iPod® or USB memory devices via a USB port on the front panel
Pure Direct The CD-S300 offers Pure Direct, which is the same popular feature included in Yamaha amplifiers and receivers
By pressing the button on the front panel or on the remote control, it shuts down the digital audio output and turns off the display
This achieves the lowest possible noise interference and, therefore, the highest sound quality of the analog audio output
Extremely Sophisticated Circuitry and Layout Yamaha technicians devoted a great deal of time and effort to designing the overall interior layout of parts and circuit boards, a factor that significantly affects sound quality
As a result, the power supplies for the motor drive, display and USB sections, as well as the digital, and analog sections are individually isolated, eliminating electromagnetic interference among them
To achieve ideal weight balance for stable performance, the drive mechanism is located in the center of the unit.
