• Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
controls
• Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
CAUTION
VOLUME
LOUDNESS
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.
If
the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only) 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 (R-S700 only) or the PURE DIRECT switch
after lowering the sound output level or after checking that
the LOUDNESS control
is
properly set.
BASS
When you feel there
is
not enough bass (low frequency
sound), rotate clockwise
to
boost. When you feel there
is
too much bass, rotate counterclockwise
to
suppress.
Control range:
-10
dB
to
+
10
dB
(20 Hz)
TREBLE
When you feel there
is
not enough treble (high frequency
sound), rotate clockwise
to
boost. When you feel there
is
too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range:
-10
dB
to
+
10
dB
(20 kHz)
The BASS and TREBLE controls adjust high and low
frequency response.
The center position produces a flat response.

BALANCE
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.
2 Rotate the VOLUME control on the front
panel (or press VOLUME
+/-
on the remote
contrOl) to set the sound output level to the
loudest listening level that you would listen
to.
3 Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the
desired volume is obtained.
'"
~tfl~
After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music
at
your preferred volume level.
If
the effect
of
the LOUDNESS
control setting
is
too strong or weak, readjust the LOUDNESS
control.
