Listening to your system
Using Direct listening
Use the Direct listening feature when you want
to hear the truest possible reproduction of a
source. All unnecessary signal processing
1
is
bypassed, and you’re left with the pure sound
source.
While listening to a source, press
DIRECT
to switch Direct listening on or off.
Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The
analog Sound Retriever feature employs new
technology that helps remove the adverse
effects of compressing 2-channel audio files by
restoring bandwidth and smoothing jagged
artifacts left over after they have been
compressed, resulting in a wider sound stage.
Press
S. RETRIEVER to switch the sound
retriever on or off.
The indicator in the front display lights to
indicate the Sound Retriever is on.
Using the balance and tone
controls
Depending on what you are listening to, you
may want to adjust the bass, treble or left/right
balance using the remote control.
1Press
TONE/BAL
to select the option you
want, then use the L/– and R/+ buttons to
adjust as necessary.
•BASS – Adjust the amount of bass from
–10 to +10.
TRE – Adjust the amount of treble from
–10 to +10.
BAL – Adjust the amount of left/right
balance as you like. FLAT indicates a
centered balance.
Wait about five seconds for your changes to be
input automatically. The BASS and TREBLE
indicators light in the front panel when the
corresponding tone control is active.
To return to the flat setting (tone control
off), press
L/–
and
R/+
at the same time.
