Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost even if this unit is in standby mode. However, if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power supply is cut for more than one week, the stored data will be lost. If this happens, adjust the items again.

The BASIC and SOUND menus

The “BASIC” menu allows you to easily set the “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” and “SOUND 2 SP DISTANCE” parameters. It is not necessary to reset any of the parameters in the “BASIC” menu, but you can access more detailed parameters in the “SOUND” menu if you wish.
