Changing the sound and
beep tone
Boosting the bass sound — D.bass
You can enjoy clear and powerful bass sound.
The D-bass function boosts the low frequency
signal with a sharper curve than conventional
bass boost.
You can hear the bass line more clearly even if
the vocal sound is the same volume. You can
emphasize and adjust the bass sound easily
with the D-bass control. This effect is similar to
the one you get when you use an optional
subwoofer system.
Moreover, the Digital D-bass* function creates
even sharper and more powerful bass sound
than Analog D-bass.
* Digital D-bass is available during CD playback.
If you cannot tune in a preset
station
Push the SEEK/AMS control up or down
momentarily to search for the station
(automatic tuning).
Scanning stops when the unit receives a
station. Push the SEEK/AMS control up or
down repeatedly until the desired station is
received.
Note
If the automatic tuning stops too frequently, press
(BTM/SENS) momentarily until “LCL” appears in
the display (local seek mode). Only the stations
with relatively strong signals will be tuned in.
Tip
If you know the frequency of the station you want
to listen to, push the SEEK/AMS control up or
down for two seconds until the desired frequency
appears (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
— Monaural Mode
Press (BTM/SENS) momentarily until
“MONO” appears.
The sound improves, but becomes
monaural (“ST” disappears).
To go back to the normal mode, press again
until “MONO” disappears.
Changing the displayed items
Each time you press (DSPL), the items
alternate between the frequency and time.
