■ Bi-wire connection
Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. With these connections, the mid and high frequency drivers are connected to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of terminals.

PLAYING AND RECORDING
■ Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls
The BASS and TREBLE controls adjust high and low frequency response.
The center position produces a flat response.
BASS
When you feel there is not enough bass (low frequency sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is too much bass, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)
TREBLE
When you feel there is not enough treble (high frequency sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 kHz)
■ Adjusting the BALANCE control
The BALANCE control adjusts the sound output balance of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room conditions.
■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.
CAUTION
If the PURE DIRECT switch 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 damaged, be sure to press PURE
DIRECT switch AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.

■ Notes on batteries
• Change both batteries when the operation range of the remote control decreases.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
• Do not throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.
■ Handling the remote control
• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following types of conditions:
– high humidity, such as near a bath
– high temperature, such as near a heater or a stove
– extremely low temperatures
– dusty places
• Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp; otherwise, the remote control may not work properly. If necessary, position the unit away from direct lighting.
