Laser products
Do not take this unit apart or at-
tempt to make any changes
yourself. This is an intricate
unit that uses a laser pickup to
retrieve information from the
surface of compact discs. The
laser is carefully shielded so
that its rays remain inside the
cabinet. Therefore, never try to
disassemble the player or alter
any of its parts since you may
be exposed to laser rays and
dangerous voltages.

or performance of procedures
other than those specified here-

(c) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you
is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, midrange, and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal pro-
grams usually sound better with different
mixes of treble, mid −range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a
stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.

knob.
2. Touch “SOUND”.

tion. In this case, “ST” disappears from the

store up to 6 stations. To change the pre-
set station to a different one, follow the
same procedure.
