BALANCE 1 2 3 4 L5 5R 4 0 1 2 3 Adjusting the LOUDNESS control Retains a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears' loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at a low volume level. CAUTION If the CD DIRECT AMP or the PURE DIRECT button is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers from being undesirably damaged, be sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP or the PURE DIRECT button after lowering the sound output level or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set. Using the CD DIRECT AMP button Routes input signals from your CD player directly to the specially built-in amplifier for the CD player. As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls and then sent to the power amplifier, thus eliminating any alterations to the CD signals and creating the purest possible sound.
