To temporarily change the Bass and Treble settings from the remote control,
press the BASS or TREB button
arrow buttons on the remote to adjust the value.
NOTE: Bass and Treble changes are only available when Tone Bypass
is disabled (see Tone Control Bypass section).
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 as 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 does not automatically turn
on the tone control. To turn on tone control, refer to previous section

384kHz audio files to properly playback this sample rate. Also, you may
need to configure the audio driver in your PC to output 384kHz or your
computer may "down sample" to a lower audio sample rate. For more
information please refer to your audio player or operating system information.
