Set the Bass or Treble controls from the front panel by pressing the MENU
8
key to toggle to either the Bass or Treble Setting menu. Then press the
left/right arrow key to adjust the value. The Bass and Treble values range

A properly setup high-performance audio system produces the most natural
sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these controls
sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up. This increases
the power output in the bass or treble range, increasing the load on the
amplifier and speakers.
NOTE: Setting the Bass and Treble controls do not automatically turn
on the tone control. To turn on tone control, refer to previous section
Tone Control Bypass.
