Customizing the MicroSystem CD’s output

The MicroSystem CD has a line output which can feed its audio into an external device. Uniquely, you can program this output to tailor it for use as:

A fixed-level output that ignores the volume setting (useful for recording or for feeding the MicroSystem CD’s radio or CD signal to an external receiver that has its own volume control);

A variable-level output that responds to the MicroSystem CD’s volume setting (useful for feeding an external amplifier or powered speaker system that has no volume control); and

A subwoofer output that feeds bass to an external powered subwoofer and simultaneously reduces the bass fed to the MicroSystem CD’s speakers. They will play louder and will match the subwoofer better.

Note: The subwoofer output is not low-passed. Use the subwoofer’s crossover, set for best blending (about 110Hz).

Programming the line output

Fixed-level: With the unit powered off, press Preset 1 and Snooze/Sleep together for 5 seconds. “L1” will appear in the display;

Variable-level: With the unit powered off, press Preset 2 and Snooze/Sleep together for 5 seconds. “L2” will appear in the display;

Subwoofer output: With the unit powered off, press Preset 3 and Snooze/Sleep together for 5 seconds. “L3” will appear in the display.

Note: If the subwoofer output is set, a small “S” will show in the display to alert you that bass has been removed from the internal speakers. The subwoofer output sends a summed monaural signal to both left and right RCA jacks.

Using the Bass trim

Bass trim

The Bass trim knob, located on the back of the unit, is used to adjust the bass level. When the MicroSystem CD is placed near a wall, the bass can become more pronounced. Setting the unit away from a wall can sometimes decrease the bass. Adjust the Bass trim to achieve the desired amount of bass output.
