2-2Setting the bass Band Width (Q-Factor):

Press the BAND button to select the desired bass Band Width.

→B. Width1 → B. Width2 → B. Width3 → B. Width4 (Wide) ←.....................................→ (Narrow)

Changes the bass boost band width to wide or narrow. A wide setting will boost a wide range of frequencies above and below the center frequency. A narrower setting will boost only frequencies near the center frequency.

2-3Setting the bass Level:

Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired bass Level (–7~+7).

You can emphasize or weaken the bass frequency.

NOTES

•If no buttons are pressed within 5 seconds, the Bass control setting will be turned off automatically.

•The settings of the Bass Level will be individually memorized for each source (FM, AM, XM, CD, etc.) until the setting is changed. Once you set Bass frequency and Bass Band Width for one of sources (FM, AM, XM, CD, etc.), this setting becomes effective for all those sources. Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work.

•This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is ON.
