Adjusting Subwoofer/Bass/Treble/ Balance
(Between Left and Right)/Fader (Between
Front and Rear)/Loudness/ Defeat

Press IMPRINT repeatedly to choose the desired
mode.
Each press changes the mode as follows:
1
Subwoofer* Bass Level
Fader Loudness Defeat
Subwoofer: 00 ~ 15
Bass level: –7 ~ +7
Treble level: –7 ~ +7
Balance: Left15 ~ Right15
Fader: Rear15 ~ Front15
Loudness : ON/OFF
Defeat : ON/OFF
Volume: – ~0 dB
• Loudness introduces a special low and high frequency
emphasis at low listening levels. This compensates for the
ear's decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound. The
function is inoperable when Defeat is set to ON.
• By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted setting of Bass,
Treble and High Pass Filter will return to the factory defaults.
• If IMPRINT is not pressed for 15 seconds after selecting the
Subwoofer, Bass, Treble, Balance or Fader mode, the unit
automatically returns to normal mode.
