PLAYING AND RECORDING
Adjusting the tonal quality
Adjusting the BALANCE control
Adjusts the sound output balance of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room conditions.
BALANCE
1 2 3 4 L5 5R 4 0 1 2 3
Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
Retains a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears' loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at a low volume level. CAUTION
If the PURE DIRECT button 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 undesirably damaged, be sure to press the PURE DIRECT button AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
Using the PURE DIRECT button
Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to automatically store FM stations. This function enables this unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5 groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the preset station numbers where they are stored. Notes
· Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared when you store a new station under that preset station number. · If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all available stations are tuned into and stored.
