Adjusting the Volume
You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned
on.
This function only affects the playback sound, not your
recording.
Turn the VOLUME control
clockwise to increase the volume or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
• The volume level can be adjusted
in 32 steps (VOL MIN, VOL 1 —
VOL 30, and VOL MAX).
When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to increase
the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.
For private listening
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound
comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before
connecting or putting on headphones.
Always set the volume to the minimum before
starting any source. If the volume is set to
extremely high level, a sudden blast of sound can
damage your hearing, speakers and/or
headphones.
• If you have turned off (on standby) the unit with
the volume level set at more than level "15," the
volume level will be automatically set at level "15"
next time you turn on the unit.
To turn down the volume level temporarily
Press FADE MUTING on the remote control.
The volume level gradually decreases to
"VOL MIN."
To restore the sound, press the button again.

Enjoying the Powerful Sound—RHYTHM AX
Using RHYTHM AX, harder-hitting beats intensify your

on the display.

RHYTHM AX turns on and off alternately.
