STEREO
appears when you receive an FM broadcast in stereo.
You can improve the reception of weak FM stations by pressing
FM MONO
until
MONO
appears. This reduces noise while you listen to a weak FM station, but
you get monaural instead of stereo sound.
BALANCE Control
The
BALANCE
control lets you adjust the sound balance between the left and
right speakers. If you properly position the speakers and your listening area is
centered between them, the center control setting is usually best (see “Position
-
ing Speakers” on Page 5).
For an unusual speaker placement, adjust
BALANCE
as follows:
1. Select
TUNER
. Then press
FM/AM
to select the FM band.
2. Press
FM MONO
so
MONO
appears. The sound is monaural instead of ste-
reo, so each speaker delivers the same output.
3. Turn
BALANCE
until you hear the sound coming equally from each speaker
when you are in the listening area.
4. Press
FM MONO
so
MONO
disappears from the display.
Muting the Receiver
To temporarily mute the sound, press
MUTING
on the remote control.
MUTING
appears. Press
MUTING
again to restore the audio level.

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, note the following when using headphones.
• Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might
still damage your hearing.
