Listening to your system

Using Direct listening

Use the Direct listening feature when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a

source. All unnecessary signal processing1 is bypassed, and you’re left with the pure sound source.

•While listening to a source, press DIRECT to switch Direct listening on or off.

Using the balance and tone controls

Depending on what you are listening to, you may want to adjust the bass, treble or left/right balance using the remote control.

•Press TONE/BAL to select the option you want, then use the L/– and R/+ buttons to adjust as necessary.

•BASS – Adjust the amount of bass from –10 to +10.

•TRE – Adjust the amount of treble from –10 to +10.

•BAL – Adjust the amount of left/right balance as you like. FLAT indicates a centered balance.

Wait about five seconds for your changes to be input automatically. The BASS and TREBLE indicators light in the front panel when the corresponding tone control is active.

•To return to the flat setting (tone control off), press L/– and R/+ at the same time.
