Adjusting the display contrast 
(LCD CONTRAST)
The characters in the display may be difficult to view immediately after 
turning on the power or after extended use; this may also be because of 
where and how the display is situated. Follow the steps below to adjust the 
display’s contrast.
fig.Q-04
Turn up the RS-5/9’s 
volume level carefully. 
Excessive volume can 
damage connected audio 
devices, your hearing, or 
annoy your neighbors.
The LCD CONTRAST 
setting affects the RS-5/9 as 
a whole (i.e., is a system 
setting). This setting 
remains stored in memory 
even while the power is off.
