Notes
• If no operation is performed for 5 seconds, the unit automatically
returns to normal mode.
• 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.

Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is
obtained in each mode.
By setting DEFEAT ON, previously adjusted level settings of
BASS, MID, and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults.
