MODE ADJUST

Selecting the MAIN MENU MODE ADJUST option opens the MODE ADJUST menu shown at the left, which prompts the selection of the desired listening mode. Selecting a listening mode opens the corresponding listening mode menu, which can be used to customize the selected listening mode. These adjustments are applied the next time the listening mode is activated.

All listening mode menus are shown in the Appendix beginning on page A-14. The parameters on the left side of the listening mode menus differ from listening mode to listening mode. The parameter settings on the right side are adjustable. The listening mode menus shown in the Appendix indicate factory-default parameter settings for each listening mode.

When the MODE ADJUST menu opens, the activated listening mode is highlighted. Selecting another listening mode does not activate that listening mode. Rather, listening modes must be activated with one of the methods described in the Listening Mode Activation section that begins below.
