WIDE

'

  setting  produces  the  best  sound  quality,  but  only  with  high-

quality amplifiers which are able to process signal frequencies up to 300 kHz 
without generating distortion. 
If  you  are  in  any  doubt  about  the  ability  of  your  amplifier  to  deal  with very 
high  signal  frequencies  up  to  300 kHz,  please  check  this  with  the 
manufacturer of your equipment. 
Alternatively you can set the switch to the WIDE setting, and simply listen to 
the results. If you hear no interference, and if the sound image is better than 
that in the NORMAL setting, leave in the WIDE mode.
