Cause/Remedy

 

 

 

When listening through speakers:

 

Playing at loud volumes may cause instru-

 

ments near the HP-2 to resonate.

 

Resonation can also occur with fluorescent

 

light tubes, glass doors, and other objects.

 

In particular, this problem occurs more

 

easily when the bass component is

 

increased, and when the sound is played at

• Reduce the volume.

 

• Move the speakers away from any
