display. STEREO appears when you receive an FM broadcast in stereo.

You can improve the reception of weak FM stations by pressing FM MONO until MONO appears. This reduces noise while you listen to a weak FM station, but you get monaural instead of stereo sound.

BALANCE Control

The BALANCE control lets you adjust the sound balance between the left and right speakers. If you properly position the speakers and your listening area is centered between them, the center control setting is usually best (see “Position- ing Speakers” on Page 5).

For an unusual speaker placement, adjust BALANCE as follows:

1.Select TUNER. Then press FM/AM to select the FM band.

2.Press FM MONO so MONO appears. The sound is monaural instead of ste- reo, so each speaker delivers the same output.

	3. Turn BALANCE until you hear the sound coming equally from each speaker
	when you are in the listening area.
	4. Press FM MONO so MONO disappears from the display.
Muting the Receiver	To temporarily mute the sound, press MUTING on the remote control. MUTING
	appears. Press MUTING again to restore the audio level.
Using Headphones	To listen with headphones (not supplied), insert the headphones’ 1/4-inch plug
	into the receiver’s front panel PHONES jack. To silence the speakers, press
	SPEAKERS A and B so you can listen with headphones without disturbing others.
	Listening Safely
	To protect your hearing, note the following when using headphones.
	• Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening. After you
	begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
	• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-
	volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
	• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to
	the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might
	still damage your hearing.
