About the audio level indicator

All the audio level indicators light up when no signals come in.

Reinforcing the Bass Sound

You can select one of the 4 subwoofer levels. This function only affects the playback sound, but does not affect your recording. The subwoofer level can be adjusted in 4 steps — LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2, LEVEL 3, and LEVEL 4 (MAX LEVEL).

Turn SUBWOOFER LEVEL + / – clockwise (+) to increase the subwoofer sound or counterclockwise (–) to decrease it.

When using the remote control, press

SUBWOOFER LEVEL + to increase the subwoofer volume or press SUBWOOFER LEVEL – to decrease it.

SUBWOOFER indicator always lights up when the unit is on.

Adjusting the Volume

You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on. The volume level can be adjusted in 32 steps (VOL MIN, VOL 01 — VOL 30, and VOL MAX).

Turn VOLUME + / – clockwise (+) to increase the volume or counterclockwise (–) to decrease it.

When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on headphones.

DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, a sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the unit or start playing any source next time. REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the unit is on standby.

To turn down the volume level temporarily

Press FADE MUTING on the remote control. The volume level gradually decreases to “VOL MIN.”

To restore the sound, press the button again.

Selecting the Sound Modes

You can select one of the 6 preset sound modes (3 surround modes and 3 SEA — Sound Effect Amplifier — modes). This function only affects the playback sound, but does not affect your recording.
