Amplifier menu point Balance (BAL)

Explanation:

The ‘BALANCE’ function is used to adjust the balance in volume between the left and right channels, e.g. if the loudspeakers are not set up symmetrically.

Operation:

The current setting can be shifted to left or right in small increments using the Õor Ö button. The screen shows the pre-amplifier’s current Balance setting, e.g.:

'BAL LR 0' (= stereo centre neutral)

Available adjustment range:

'BAL L 30' (= stereo centre fully left) to

'BAL R 30' (= stereo centre fully right).

If the stereo centre is not set to neutral, the offset is shown on the screen every time you alter the volume, e.g. ‘VOL 27 L’, i.e. the stereo centre is offset to the left.

Amplifier menu point Bass (tone controls)

Explanation:

The tone controls can be altered over the range:

-14 dB (less bass / treble) to

Amplifier menu point Loudness

Explanation:

The amplifier features a volume-dependent tone control (LOUDNESS), which is designed to compensate for the frequency-dependent sensitivity of the human ear at very low volumes. This maintains a balanced impression of sound volume at very low listening levels.

Operation:

Loudness can be switched off ('OFF') and on ('ON') using the Õand Öbuttons.
