PLAYING AND RECORDING
■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
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.
CAUTION
If 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
PURE DIRECT switch after lowering the sound output
level or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is
properly set.
1
Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT
position.
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.

control setting is too strong or weak, readjust the LOUDNESS
control.
