control button
downward;

upward.
A fader control, located in the center
console, allows for balancing the vol­
ume level between the front and rear
speakers.
The left to right stereo balance may
be adjusted by first pressing the func­
tion control button and then
pressing the bass control button Q
or the treble control button ■ This
will cause the stereo balance to shift
either left or right respectively.
To center the left to right stereo bal­
ance, briefly press both buttons
and
simultaneously.
The stereo balance setting will be dis­
played (as shown below) when the
balance feature is activated. The mag­
nitude of the setting is shown by a
number from 0 to 8. Bracketing this
number are two arrows indicating the
direction of the setting. For example:
< 0 > = null or centered balance
< 5 = balance shifted 5 units left
7 > = balance shifted 7 units right.

After reaching the maximum tone level, the tone setting will stay at that level
unless the tone control button is released and pressed again, at which point the
tone level will begin decreasing. It will stop decreasing when the tone control
button is released or when the minimum tone level is reached.

repeated.

tone level.

The individual tone setting for each mode will be autom atically stored.
