PLAYING AND RECORDING ■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control 3 Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the desired volume is obtained. LOUDNESS VOLUME VOLUME +/- y After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music at your preferred volume level. If the effect of the LOUDNESS control setting is too strong or weak, readjust 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 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 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 the VOLUME control 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. 16 En
