Sound Adjustment Adjusting the sound Generating a more dynamic sound - DSG You can use the DSG (Dynamic Sound Generator) function to produce a more powerful sound. Press DSG on the remote. Each time you press the button, the display changes cyclically as follows: DSG 1 t DSG 2 t DSG OFF When DSG is on, "DSG" lights up. Press DSG on the remote repeatedly to cancel DSG. Selecting the surround effect Press SURROUND on the remote. "SURR" appears in the display. Press again to cancel surround effect. Adjusting the bass Press BASS + or - on the remote repeatedly to adjust the bass. You can adjust the bass in 7 steps (from -3 to +3). Adjusting the treble Press TREBLE + or - on the remote repeatedly to adjust the treble. You can adjust the treble in 7 steps (from -3 to +3). Tips • You can enjoy the original sound by setting BASS and TREBLE to 0. • You cannot activate DSG and Bass/Treble adjustment at the same time. Adjusting the sub woofer You can adjust the sound of the sub woofer to suit the sound source and adjustment on the system. 1 Start playing the sound source. Male vocal tunes and voice containing bass sounds are most suitable for adjustment. The volume for the system should be set to the same level as usual. 2 Turn CUT OFF FREQ on the sub woofer to adjust the cut-off frequency. 3 Turn LEVEL on the sub woofer to adjust the volume level of the sub woofer. 4 Press PHASE on the sub woofer repeatedly to select the phase polarity. The polarity changes as follows: NORMAL (normal) y REVERSE (reverse) 5 Repeat step 2 to 4 to adjust for your preference. Tips • The power indicator lights red in standby mode. During playing, the indicator turns green. The sub woofer switches to standby mode automatically a few minutes after the music ends and sound is no longer produced. • If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass reinforcement (such as DSG, Bass, etc.), turn off the bass reinforcement and adjust the sound. • Once you have adjusted the sub woofer to the setting you desire, you can use VOL - or + on the system to adjust the volume of the sub woofer linked to the satellite speakers. • Reversing the polarity with PHASE on the sub woofer may provide better bass reproduction in certain listening environments (depending on the position of the sub woofer/satellite and adjustment of the cut-off frequency). It may also change the expanse and tightness of the sound, and effect the feeling of the sound field. Note Never set the system's tone control (Bass, Treble) or DSG output to a high level or input sinewaves of 20 Hz to 50 Hz recorded on a commercially available test disc or special sound (bass sound of electronic musical instrument, pop noise of analog disc turntable, sound with abnormally enhanced bass, etc.) in a high level to this system. These actions may cause damage to the speakers. When a special disc containing abnormally enhanced bass is played, noise may be output. In such a case, decrease the sound level. 15 Tuner/Sound Adjustment
