Press DBFB*.

Every time you press the button, the display changes as follows:

DBFB n DBFB n display off

n

“DBFB ” is more effective than

“DBFB ” .

* DBFB = Dynamic Bass Feedback

For a powerful sound (GROOVE)

Press GROOVE. The volume switches to power mode, DBFB is automatically set to full strength, the equalizer curve changes, and the “GROOVE” button lights up. Press GROOVE again to return to the previous volume.

Notes

•With some songs, the music will sound distorted when you use the DBFB system with the graphic equalizer if the bass is too strong. Adjust the bass slowly while listening to music so that you can monitor the effect of the adjustment.

•Cancelling GROOVE sets DBFB to “DBFB” and flattens the equalizer curve. To cancel the DBFB level, press DBFB until the indication disappears. Adjust the equalization to obtain the effect you desire.

To listen through the headphones

Connect the headphones to PHONES jack. No sound will come from the speakers.

Note

If you have connected a super woofer, please note that sound comes from the super woofer even when the headphones are connected. Turn off the power of the super woofer when using headphones.
