Changing the Display Brightness and

Contrast

To change the 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.

On the unit ONLY:

Press DIMMER/CONTRAST.

Each time you press the button, the display brightness

changes as follows:

• When the unit is turned off (on standby):

Dark (POWER SAVING mode*) += Dimmer**

• When the unit is turned on:

Bright += Dimmer***

* During POWER SAVING mode:

• Much less electric power (1.6 watt) is consumed. If not

selected, 14 watts of electric power are consumed even

while the unit is turned off (on standby).

• “POWER SAVING” appears in the main display.

• You cannot insert an MD in the MD loading slot. To insert

an MD, turn on the unit first.

** You can turn on the unit by inserting an MD in the MD

loading slot.

***When using some functions, the displa y window brightens for

a while. For examples, when selecting the source either using

the buttons on the unit or on the remote control, 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.

To change the contrast

You can change the display contrast only when the unit is

turned on.

On the unit ONLY:

1

Press and hold DIMMER/CONTRAST for more

than 2 seconds.

2

Push and hold the joy control upward (¡ ) or

downward (1 ) to adjust the contrast.

To store the selected main display screen in backup

memory

You can store the selected main display screen in back up

memory. So, even though the AC power is unplugged or a

power failure occurs, the setting is kept in memory and will

not be reset to the display demonstration.

On the unit ONLY:

1

Unplug the AC power cord.

2

Plug the AC power cord again while holding 7 and

ENTER/DEMO at the same time.

3

Select the main display screen setting (DEMO,

DOLPHIN, or OFF) by following steps 1 to 4 on

page 12.

To erase backup memory

Repeat steps 1 and 2 of the above procedure.

Backup memory is cleared.

• When the AC power plug is reconnected or a power

failure is recovered, display demonstration automatically

starts.
