7.  Subsonic switch (SUBSONIC)

Cuts ultra-low frequencies out of audible range to pre-
vent ultra-low range noise from adversely affecting audible 
range. This function is significantly effective especially when 
an analog record is warped or a woofer is shaking owing to 
ultra-low range vibration.
• This switch toggles the subsonic on and off.

The subsonic indicator lights up when the subsonic switch 
is on.

*  When the line straight switch is set to on, this switch does 

not function.

8.  Loudness switch (LOUDNESS)

Corrects the characteristics of human ears that causes dif-
ficulty in listening to low-pitched and high-piched sounds 
when the sound volume is low.
• This switch toggles the loudness on and off.

The loudness indicator lights up when the loudness switch 
is on.

*  When the line straight switch is set to on, this switch does 

not function.

9.  Line straight switch (LINE STRAIGHT

)

Enhances the purity of the sound quality by bypassing the 
balance control circuit, tone control circuit, or the like.
off (line straight indicator off): Line straight off/bypass off
on (line straight indicator on): Line straight on/bypass on

• This switch toggles the line straight on and off.

The line straight indicator lights up when the line straight 
switch is set to on.

10. CD/SACD player operation switch
 

(CD/SACD PLAYER)

This switch is used to control the corresponding CD/SACD 
players.

The corresponding CD/SACD players are the following 
10 models: D-08u, D-06u, D-05u, D-08, D-06, D-05, D-10, 
D-7, D-600, and D-700S as of April 2016.

11.  Volume control switches  

(VOLUME, 

i

o

)

Adjusts the sound volume.
• Pressing 

i

 increases the sound volume in steps of 1 dB.

• Pressing 

o

 decreases the sound volume in steps of 1 dB.

Remote control

The remote control shall be aimed at the remote sensor of 
this unit within the specified angle range shown in the illus-
tration.

30°

30°

Effective distance: 

approx. 5 meters

Dry cell
[How to load dry cells]

1.   Put your finger on the battery cover claw on the rear of the 

remote control, and slide the cover downward to open it.

2.   Put 2 AAA batteries in the battery case as shown in the illus-

tration.

3.  Close the battery cover.

*  When the batteries start to lose power, the effective dis-

tance becomes shorter or the unit does not function even 
though the switch is pressed. In such a case, both of the 
batteries should be replaced with new ones at the same 
time.

*  If the remote control is not used for a long time, the batter-

ies should be removed from the case.
