Balance Control
Adjust the BALANCE control as needed to achieve ap-
proximately equal listening volume levels in each loud-
speaker. Turn the BALANCE to the Left to emphasize the
left channel by reducing the level of the right channel. Turn
the BALANCE to the right to emphasize the right channel
by reducing the level of the left channel.
Balance Display

Display reads the balance change from 1 to 107 in one dB
steps. After approximately 3 seconds the Volume Display
returns to the Volume reading. To verify the balance setting
without changing it, move the control one detent in either
direction. The display will indicate the selected balance
changes for approximately 3 seconds and then return to the
volume display.
The L or R will illuminate red to indicate which
channel has been emphasized by the BALANCE control. It
