PLAYING AND RECORDING
■
Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
controls
The BASS and TREBLE controls adjust high and low
frequency response.
The center position produces a flat response.
BASS
When you feel there is not enough bass (low frequency
sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is
too much bass, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)
TREBLE
When you feel there is not enough treble (high frequency
sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is
too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 kHz)
■
Adjusting the BALANCE control
The BALANCE control adjusts the sound output balance
of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound
imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room
conditions.
■
Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus
compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to
high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.
If the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only) or the
PURE DIRECT switch is turned on with the LOUDNESS
control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the
LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden increase in the
sound output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers
from being damaged, be sure to press the CD DIRECT
AMP switch (R-S700 only) or the PURE DIRECT switch
after lowering the sound output level or after checking that
the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
1
Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT
position.
2
Rotate the VOLUME control on the front
panel (or press /– on the remote
control) to set the sound output level to the
loudest listening level that you would listen
to.
3
Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the
desired volume is obtained.
y
After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music at
your preferred volume level. If the effect of the LOUDNESS
control setting is too strong or weak, readjust the LOUDNESS
control.
