		The loudness function can only be operated on the front of the appliance

		to boost high and low frequencies at the press of a button. The loud-
Loudness function	LOUD (3)	ness function therefore corrects the impression of loudness at low volume.
		This is necessary because the human ear registers high and low frequen-

Operation	Button	Description
Selecting the RDS	INPUT (2)	To activate radio mode you can either press the “TUNER” button on the
radio as the input	TUNER (18)	remote control or select this input on the front panel of the appliance with the
source		“INPUT” knob.

		stations.
		This button is found on both the remote control and the front of the appliance.
Switching between	ST/MONO	If a station can only be received with poor quality in stereo, there is an option
		of listening to it in mono mode. This can improve the sound quality.
