Tips
• If acoustic feedback (howling) occurs, move the
microphone away from the speakers or change the
direction of the microphone.

microphone only, you can do so by selecting the
CD function, but not playing a disc.
• When high level sound signals are input, the system
automatically adjusts the recording level to prevent
