controls
Adjusting the BALANCE control
Selecting the SPEAKER system
Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right
speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused from
speaker location or listening room conditions.
Because one or two speaker systems can be connected to this
unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker
system A or B, or both at once.
BASS
: Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-
clockwise to decrease) the low frequency
response.
TREBLE : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-
clockwise to decrease) the high frequency
response.
Adjusting the continuously variable
LOUDNESS control

volume level.

Set to the “FLAT” position.

level that you would listen
