•Loudness introduces a special low and high frequency emphasis at low listening levels. This compensates for the ear’s decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound. The function is inoperable when Defeat is set to ON.
•By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted setting of Bass, Treble and High Pass Filter will return to the factory defaults.
•If 
(IMPRINT) is not pressed for 15 seconds after selecting the Subwoofer, Bass, Treble, Balance or Fader mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode.
