This will reduce the noise and provide clear
reception; however, the broadcast will not be heard

■ Graphic Equalizer
It aliows you to tailor the frequency response of the unit to
compensate for room acoustics and other factors which
affect frequency response. The overall tone can be altered
by adjusting the five controls which control the following
frequency bands:
100 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 3.3 kHz, 10 kHz.
Positioning the control to the “+” side of the detent will
amplify the corresponding frequency band; the side
will attenuate it.
