BASS. The BASS button allows 2 modes of operation: BASS level control or CENTER level control. See D) and E) below.
D)BASS LEVEL CONTROL. The bass level control is accessible in all modes of operation. If it is desired to increase/decrease BASS response, press this button. The green function indicator above the control will glow. Also, the volume level indicators will glow showing the last setting of the control. Rotate the master volume control clockwise to increase bass and counter clockwise to decrease bass. Only 6 of the 7 level indicators are operational in this mode. As volume is increased/decreased only one level indicator at a time will glow in ascending or descending order. As the volume control is varied and passes through the flat response setting of the control, the 2 center indicators will glow. (This is the equivalent of a manual volume control set at center detent indicating flat response.)
E)CENTER LEVEL MODE. This function is only operational in the SURROUND mode. Hold the BASS button depressed until the function indicator begins flashing on/off. Rotate the master volume control clockwise to increase the center volume and counterclockwise to decrease center volume. The green volume level indicators will glow in ascending order as volume is increased and will turn off in descending order as volume is decreased.
TREBLE. The TREBLE button allows 2 modes of operation, TREBLE level control or SURROUND level control. See F) and G) below.
F)TREBLE LEVEL CONTROL. The treble level control is accessible in all modes of operation. If it is desired to increase/decrease TREBLE response, press this button, the green function indicator above the control will glow. Also, the volume level indicators will glow showing the last setting of the control. Rotate the master volume control clockwise to increase treble and counter clockwise to decrease treble. Only 6 of the 7 volume level indicators are operational in this mode. As volume is increased/decreased only one level indicator at a time will glow in ascending or descending order. As the volume control
is varied and passes through the flat response setting of the control the 2 center indicators will glow. (This is the equivalent of a manual volume control set at center detent indicating flat response.)
G)SURROUND. This function is only operational in the SURROUND mode. Hold the TREBLE button depressed until the function indicators begin flashing on/off. Rotate the master volume control clockwise to increase the surround volume and
MASTER VOLUME CONTROL. The MASTER VOLUME CONTROL provides two functions. It operates as a master volume control for the overall system and can also be used to individually adjust the volume levels of BASS, CENTER, TREBLE and SURROUND. If any one of the functions is selected and is not adjusted within a few seconds, the control reverts back to becoming a master volume control.
FLAT RESPONSE SETTINGS. To set the BASS and TREBLE controls to a flat response (default) and the CENTER and SURROUND controls to mid volume level positions, both the BASS and TREBLE buttons must be depressed at the same time. Initially the function indicators above buttons the will be green. The buttons must be kept depressed until the indicators turn off. The amplifier response is now flat (linear). If it is desired to increase/decrease BASS or TREBLE response press either of these buttons respectively. Two volume level indicators will glow in the middle of the display indicating the flat response of the amplifier. Notice that the volume level display has changed from 7 to 6 indicators. Rotate the volume control clockwise to increase levels and
To access CENTER and SURROUND volume level settings, the unit must be in the SURROUND mode. Press either the BASS or TREBLE button until the function indicator flashes. Four volume level indicators will glow showing mid setting. Adjust the volume control clockwise to increase volume level from the mid setting and
