USING THE POWER LEVEL METER AND METER RANGE

The power level meters on the stereo high-power amplifier display the
right and left sound levels according to the METER RANGE setting.

          ┌──────────────────┬──────────────────┐
          │ Set METER RANGE  │    To Select     │
          ├──────────────────┼──────────────────┤
          │ In (low range)   │ Low-level sound  │
          ├──────────────────┼──────────────────┤
          │ Out (high range) │ High-level sound │
          └──────────────────┴──────────────────┘

USING THE FREQUENCY EQUALIZER

You can adjust the tone in five frequency ranges. Slide the control up to
boost, or down to reduce the level in the indicated frequency range. If
you set the control to the center position, the frequency range is
unaltered.

Each control affects the sound as follows:

┌───────────┬─────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────┐

SELECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS

You can use the front speakers A, or B, or both by pressing the correspon-
ding SPEAKERS A and B selector switches.

NOTE: If you press both SPEAKERS A and B but you connected only one pair
      of speakers to either set of terminals (A or B), you will not hear
      sound from the connected pair of speakers.

USING EXTENDED BASS

Increase bass sounds by using the extending bass mode. To activate it,
press E-BASS so the E-BASS indicator lights. To cancel it, press E-BASS
again. The E-BASS indicator goes off.

USING SURROUND SOUND

Add rear speakers to enjoy a surround-sound effect from any program
source.  To use surround sound, press SURROUND. The SURROUND indicator
lights. To turn off surround sound, press SURROUND again.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

To use the remote control, point it directly at the infrared sensor on the
tuner and firmly press the desired button.

USING MUTE

Press MUTING to reduce the volume. The MUTING indicator lights. To return
to the previous volume, press MUTING again.

USING HEADPHONES

For private listening or to monitor sound while you record, you can
connect low-impedance headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch plug. To
connect the headphones, insert the headphone's plug into the PHONES jack.
Then, press the SPEAKERS A and B switches to the out position so that the
sound comes only through the headphones.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended, high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Follow these guidelines to
protect your hearing, especially when you use headphones.

*   Always start by setting the volume to the lowest level possible before
    you begin listening. Put on the earphone or headphones, then gradually
    increase the volume as necessary.

*   Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over a period of time,
    your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not
    cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

Using the controls on the stereo pre-amplifier, follow these steps to turn
the system on and off.

1.  Turn VOLUME to MIN.

2.  Press POWER to turn on the system. One of the function indicators and
    the volume control's indicator light.

3.  Press CD, TUNER, TAPE 1, TAPE 2, PHONO, VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 to select
    the audio source (see "Tuner Operation," "CD Changer Operation," or
    Cassette Deck Operation").

4.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

5.  Adjust BALANCE for the desired stereo effect.

6.  Slide the FREQUENCY EQUALIZER controls to adjust the sound as desired
    (see "Using the Frequency Equalizer").

7.  Press POWER again to turn off the system.
