Using compression and bass emphasis

You can use these functions only with a multi-CD player that supports them.

Using COMP (compression) and DBE (dynamic bass emphasis) functions lets you adjust the sound playback quality of the multi-CD player. Each of the functions has a two-step adjustment. The COMP function balances the output of louder and softer sounds at higher volumes. DBE boosts bass levels to give playback a fuller sound. Listen to each of the effects as you select them and use the one that best enhances the playback of the track or CD that you are listening to.

1.Press FUNCTION to select COMP.

Press FUNCTION until COMP appears in the display.

•If the multi-CD player does not support COMP/DBE, NO COMP is displayed when you attempt to select it.

2.Press 8 or 2 to select your favorite setting.

Press 8 or 2 repeatedly to switch between the following settings: COMP OFF – COMP 1 – COMP 2 – COMP OFF – DBE 1 – DBE 2
