VOLUME control
To adjust the volume level of the loudspeakers, pre-amp outputs
and headphones use the
VOLUME
shown in the display while it is being adjusted. Three seconds
after the volume is adjusted, the display reverts to show the
selected input.
Note that different sources may require different settings of the
control to achieve the same perceived volume level.
VOLUME
The volume can be controlled from 0dB over 80 steps.
BASS and TREBLE controls
Turn the bass and treble controls clockwise to boost response
or anticlockwise to cut response. For a fl at response leave the
controls in the 12 o'clock 'notched' position.
Pressing the button bypasses the bass and treble
DIRECT

you do not wish to alter the bass or treble controls, we
recommended that you select

Storing a preset

To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store.
