PREPARATION

• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/

or the speakers.

• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be

heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Also,

refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

• Use the RCA type pin plug cables for audio components except speakers.

• The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-

output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO

■Adjusting the BALANCE control

Adjusts the sound output balance of the left and right

speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by

speaker locations or listening room conditions.

■Using the PURE DIRECT button

Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the

input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and

LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to

the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.

■Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE

controls

Adjust the high and low frequency response.

BASS

Increases or decreases the low frequency response.

TREBLE

Increases or decreases the high frequency response.

■Adjusting the LOUDNESS control

Retains a full tonal range at any volume level, thus

compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to

high and low-frequency ranges at a low volume level.

If the PURE DIRECT button 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

undesirably damaged, be sure to press the PURE DIRECT button

AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that

the LOUDNESS control is properly set.

1Rotate the LOUDNESS control on the front

panel to the FLAT position.

2Rotate VOLUME 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.
