Adjusting the Volume

You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on.

Press VOLUME + to increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.

• The volume level can be adjusted in 33 steps (VOL MIN, VOL 1 — VOL 31, and VOL MAX).

When using the unit, turn the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise 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.

Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If the volume is set to extremely high level, a sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones.

•If you have turned off (on standby) the unit with the volume level set at more than level “15,” the volume level will be automatically set at level “15” next time you turn on the unit.

Press SUBWOOFER LEVEL + or – (or SUBWOOFER +/– control on the unit) to increase or decrease the subwoofer sound.

• The subwoofer level can be adjusted

in 3 steps (OFF, S.WOOFER1, S.WOOFER2). The SUBWOOFER lamp also lights up.

Enjoying the Powerful Sound—RHYTHM AX

Using RHYTHM AX, harder-hitting beats intensify your listening experience even at low sound levels.

•Each time you press the button, RHYTHM AX turns on and off alternately. The RHYTHM AX lamp also lights up.

To turn down the volume level temporarily

The volume level gradually decreases to

 

“VOL MIN.”

 

To restore the sound, press the button again.
