About setup when the external power amplifier is
connected
In order to optimise the BASS ENGINE SQ mode, we recommend the
following procedure to set up the power amplifier.
Use your favourite music to make the following amplifier adjustment.
1) Set GAIN of the power amplifier to “MIN.”
2) Set the Crossover Mode Sector switch to “OFF.”
• If the switch has no “OFF” position, set as near as possible to full
range.
3) Set the BASS ENGINE Level to “03.”
4) Play a song of the genre you frequently listen to, and adjust
GAIN of the power amplifier.
