Before Playing

Notes on Adjusting the Volume
Unlike conventional records and cassette tapes, there is hardly any
noise at all on compact discs. Thus, do not use the noise you may hear
as a reference level for setting the volume when you start disc play-
back. Otherwise the result will be a very high volume level, that may
damage your ears if you are listening through headphones.
Remember that it is wise to always keep the volume level as low as
possible until the music starts playing.

CD DIRECT Indicator
If the CD DIRECT indicator is lit when playing a CD or CDV (Compact
Disc Video), the signals bypass the pre-amplifier circuitry and are sent
directly to the power amplifier to provide a high S/N ratio and low dis-
tortion. (This does not function during recording.)
The CD DIRECT indicator lights when the A/V source is set to CD and
the CD DIRECT button is pressed.
@ Turn the CD DIRECT button off if you want to adjust the CD sound
with the equalizer or the BASS and TREBLE controls.
@ The indicator can only be switched on and off while playing a CD
or when the A/V source is set to CD.
