CAUTION: The Volume cannot be adjusted while the Unit is on STANDBY.
DO NOT turn on the Unit and/or start playing any source without setting
the VOLUME control to 0; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can
damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones.
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 headphones.
Reinforcing the Bass Sound
S.A. (Signal Adaptive) BASS adjusts low tones at low volume to enhance their effect. When the volume
level is low, this enhances low tones that are normally difficult to hear and adjusts low tones to a fixed
level to reduce low tone distortion.
Press S.A. BASS.
Pressing S.A. (Signal Adaptive) BASS changes the bass setting in the following order.
= SA-BASS1 = SA-BASS2 = OFF = (back to the beginning)
The S.A. BASS indicator lights up, and “SA-BASS1” or “SA-BASS2” appears on the display for three
seconds.
SA-BASS2 enhances low tones more than SA-BASS1.
To cancel the effect, press S.A. BASS until “OFF” appears on the display. The button light goes out.
To recall the previous S.A. BASS mode, press S.A. BASS once.
When listening to recording with low volume low tones, the difference between SA-BASS1 and SA-
BASS2 is clear. When listening to recording with louder low tones, however, the difference between
SA-BASS1 and SA-BASS2 may not be so clear.
Sound Modes
The System has some preset sound effects that give you control of the way your music sounds, so you can
tailor it for your room and for the quality of the source. We can give you some idea of how each one
affects the music, but the only way to really tell is to try them yourself.
You can also create up to three of your own customized S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) settings and
store them in the Unit’s memory (MANUAL 1, MANUAL 2, MANUAL 3).
The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects.
Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.
To get an effect, press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears on the display.
The Sound Mode selected will appear on the display for three seconds. When a surround effect mode is
selected, the frame around the SOUND MODE indicator will light up. When a S.E.A. effect mode is
selected, the SOUND MODE indicator will light up.
Each time you press SOUND MODE, the Sound Mode changes as follows:
= D. CLUB = HALL = STADIUM = ROCK = POP = CLASSIC = MANUAL 1 =
MANUAL 2 = MANUAL 3 = OFF = (back to the beginning)
Surround effect modes
D. CLUB (Dance Club) Increases resonance and bass.
HALL Adds depth and brilliance to the sound, like in a concert hall.
STADIUM Adds clarity and spreads the sound, like in an outdoor stadium.
S.E.A. effect modes
ROCK Boosts low and high frequencies.
POP Good for vocal music.
CLASSIC Set for wide and dynamic sound stereo systems.
To cancel an effect, press SOUND MODE until “OFF” appears on the display. The SOUND MODE
indicator goes out.
To recall the previous Sound Mode, press SOUND MODE once.
