■Adjusting the LOUDNESS control

Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.

CAUTION

If the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE DIRECT switch) is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the loudness control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers from being damaged, be sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE DIRECT switch) AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.

1Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT position.

2Rotate VOLUME on the front panel (or press VOL +/– on the remote control) to set the sound output level to the loudest listening level that you would listen to.

After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music at your preferred volume level by controlling VOLUME. If the effect of the loudness control is too strong or weak, readjust the LOUDNESS control.
