Adjusting the Volume
You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is
turned on.
When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to
increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.
When using the unit, turn VOLUME clockwise to increase
the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.
For private listening
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound
comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before
connecting or putting on the headphones.
If “CANNOT LISTEN!” appears in the main
display
During high-speed recording (see page 34), you cannot listen to
any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level.
DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the
volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, the
sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing,
speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the
unit or start playing any source.
REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level
while the unit is in standby mode.
To turn down the volume level temporarily
Press FADE MUTING on the remote control.
To restore the sound, press the button again.
Reinforcing the Bass Sound
The richness and fullness of the bass sound is maintained
regardless of how low you set the volume — Active Bass
Extension.
• You can use this effect only for playback.
To get the effect, press ACTIVE BASS EX. (extension) on
the remote control so that “ACTIVE BASS EX. ON”
appears in the main display (the A. BASS indicator also
lights).
To cancel the effect, press the button again so that
“ACTIVE BASS EX. OFF” appears in the main display
(the A. BASS indicator goes off).
When using the unit, you can activate or
deactivate the Active Bass Extension by using
the menu. (See page 60).
Selecting the Display Brightness
You can change the display brightness whether the unit is
turned on or in standby mode.
You can set and memorize the display brightness setting
each for power-on time and for power-off (standby) time.
To change the display brightness, press DIMMER on the
remote control.
• Each time you press the button, the display brightness
changes as follows:
When the unit is turned off (on standby):
Dark += Dimmer
When the unit is turned on:
Bright += Dimmer*
* When using some functions, the display window brightens for a
while. For example, when selecting the source either using the
buttons on the unit or on the remote control, or when selecting
the CD or MD track using the buttons on the remote control, etc.
During display demonstration
The display always brightens regardless of the dimmer setting.
