You can also use the [8ON/STANDBY] button on the
CD receiver.
Balance
Tip:
L7 to 0 to R7 in 1 steps. (The default value is 0.)
PM.Bass (Phase Matching Bass)
From the warm low notes produced by a cello to the
deep frequencies of electronic music, a good
compact audio system should be able to deliver
plenty of bass resonance.
While traditional enhancement systems effectively
boost low-frequency sound, they are often prone to
the effects of phase shifting, which can overwhelm
mid-range frequencies and muddy the sound. Our
Phase-Matching Bass Boost technology effectively
preserves mid-range clarity-allowing vocals and
strings to shine-while maintaining a smooth,
powerful bass response at all volume levels.
When the Phase Matching Bass function is on, the
S.Bass indicator appears on the display.

when searching for tracks. You may be able to hear this noise in extremely quiet environments.
Audio output is intermittent when the CD receiver is subjected to vibration.
• The CD receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration.
Headphone output is intermittent or there’s no sound.
• This may be due to dirty contacts. Clean the headphones plug. See your headphones’ instruction manual for cleaning
information. Also, make sure that the headphones cable is not broken or damaged.
Audio performance
• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD receiver has been turned on and had time
to warm up.
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so don’t do it.
