Adjusting volume level

In the LEVEL mode, you can adjust the volume 

level using the [CONTROL] knob.

The VOLUME and TRIM items are available in the 

LEVEL mode. The VOLUME item coarsely adjusts 

the level, while the TRIM item fine-tune the level. 

By using a combination of these items, you can 

adjust the volume level precisely in 440 steps. 

Volume level and tone controls

VOLUME

TRIM

LEVEL

You can adjust volume level as well as tone using 

the [CONTROL] knob.

1) Set the mode select switch to the LEVEL posi-

tion.

LEVEL

The upper status indicator (beside VOLUME)  

lights steadily. 

In this condition, you can coarsely adjust the vol-

ume level.
2) Adjust the volume level coarsely by rotating the 

[CONTROL] knob.

<Note>: If you change the stored value by rotating 

the [CONTROL] knob, the status indicator changes 

from lighting to flashing .

If necessary, fine-tune the volume level by follow-

ing steps 3) and 4) below.
3) Press the [CONTROL] knob.
The lower status indicator (beside TRIM)  lights 

steadily or flashes. 

In this condition, you can fine-tune the volume 

level.
4) Fine-tune the volume level by rotating the 

[CONTROL] knob.

<Note>: 

TRIM reset function

When you change the stored VOLUME value in step 

2) above, the TRIM value is automatically reset to the 

center position. This function allows you to make pre-

cise volume level adjustment effectively. 

5) After fine-tuning the volume level, long-press 

the [CONTROL] knob until the flashing upper 

status indicator turns on.

The adjusted value is saved to the unit.

<Note>: Even if you perform step 5) above to save 

the value after you fine-tune the level (i.e. when the 

lower status indicator flashes), the upper status indi-

cator lights steadily. Therefore, whenever you attempt 

to readjust LEVEL after you saved the LEVEL value, 

you can start with the VOLUME adjustment (coarse 

adjustment).

<Note>: By long-pressing the [CONTROL] knob, 

values of all items (both the volume and tone controls) 

are saved.
