Adjusting the Volume

You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on.

When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.

When using the unit, turn VOLUME clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on the headphones.

If “CANNOT LISTEN!” appears in the main display

During high-speed recording (see page 34), you cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level.

DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the unit or start playing any source.

REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the unit is in standby mode.

To turn down the volume level temporarily

Press FADE MUTING on the remote control.

Reinforcing the Bass Sound

The richness and fullness of the bass sound is maintained regardless of how low you set the volume — Active Bass Extension.

• You can use this effect only for playback.

To get the effect, press ACTIVE BASS EX. (extension) on the remote control so that “ACTIVE BASS EX. ON” appears in the main display (the A. BASS indicator also lights).

To cancel the effect, press the button again so that “ACTIVE BASS EX. OFF” appears in the main display (the A. BASS indicator goes off).

When using the unit, you can activate or deactivate the Active Bass Extension by using the menu. (See page 60).

Selecting the Display Brightness

You can change the display brightness whether the unit is turned on or in standby mode.

You can set and memorize the display brightness setting each for power-on time and for power-off (standby) time.

To change the display brightness, press DIMMER on the

remote control.

Each time you press the button, the display brightness changes as follows:

When the unit is turned off (on standby):

Dark +=Dimmer

When the unit is turned on:

Bright +=Dimmer*

To restore the sound, press the button again.

*When using some functions, the display window brightens for a while. For example, when selecting the source either using the buttons on the unit or on the remote control, or when selecting the CD or MD track using the buttons on the remote control, etc.

During display demonstration

The display always brightens regardless of the dimmer setting.
