Note for settings and sound quality
Bal (Speaker balance) and Level (Output level) are selections
related to sound output. These settings and the volume level
are detected comprehensively by a micro computer and wholly
controlled by a singular volume control amplifier.
It is therefore different from normal amplifiers where sound signals
pass through several circuits. In this design implementation,
there is no deterioration in sound quality caused by any of these
settings.
