Turning Loudness On/Off (CDM-9821 only)

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.

Pressing the MUTE button again will bring the audio back to its previous level.

BBE Mode On/Off (CDM-9823 only)
