■ 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 CD DIRECT AMP switch (or 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 CD DIRECT AMP switch (or 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 VOLUME on the front panel (or press
VOL +/– on the remote control) to set the
sound output level to the loudest listening
level that you would listen to.

3
Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the
desired volume is obtained.
y
After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music at
your preferred volume level by controlling VOLUME. If the
effect of the loudness control is too strong or weak, readjust the
LOUDNESS control.
