1Press the Rotary encoder (MODE) (CDE-9846 only) or press MODE (CDE-9842 only) repeatedly to choose the desired mode.

Each press changes the mode as follows:

BASS LV → TRE LV → SUBW* → BALANCE → FADER → DEFT → VOLUME → BASS LV

Bass level : -7 ~ +10

Treble level : -7 ~ +7

Subwoofer : 0 ~ +15

Balance : L15 ~ R15

Fader : R15 ~ F15

Defeat : ON/OFF

Volume : 0 ~ 35

•If the Rotary encoder is not pressed within 5 seconds after selecting the BASS LV, TRE LV, BALANCE, FADER, DEFT or SUBW mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode.

*When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted.

2Turn the Rotary encoder (MODE) (CDE-9846 only) or press 4 and 3 (CDE-9842 only) until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.
