Operating procedures
“SOUND MENU”
SANSUI has provided this unit with four custom equalization curves,
called the ‘SOUND MENU.”
Any of the menus can be recalled by depressing the corresponding MEM-
ORY 1 ~ 4 switches.
The equalizing characteristics stored in each of the switches are as fol-
lows:
MEMORY 1: Equalization for a sound filled with verve and gutsiness;
suitable for rock music and pop.
MEMORY 2: Soft-sounding equalization;
music and relaxed listening.
MEMORY 3: Equalization for disco sound; extreme frequencies are em-
phasized for an improved dance beat and crisp treble.
MEMORY 4: Special equalization for car stereos and portable cassette
recorders with the emphasis on an expanded dynamic range and more
forceful bass.
* When custom equalizations are entered into the MEMORY 1 ~ 4
switches using the MEMORY “SET” switch, the ‘SOUND MENU" is
temporarily erased. However, it is available again when the SE-9 is
unplugged from the power outlet and then plugged in again.

to hear the sound before compensation.
* Do not touch equalizer controls while the computer is operating since
this will unnecessarily tax the computer mechanism.
Storing the equalizations in the memory
Up to four custom equalizations can be stored in this unit, and when so
required, they can be recalled at the push of a switch.
Store the equalizations in the memory as follows.
1. Reproduce the music and adjust the equalizer controls so that the re-
quired equalization is obtained.
2. Depress the MEMORY “SET” switch and select one of the MEMORY
1 ~ 4 switches so that the indicator does not go off. T he indicator
above the depressed switch now lights to indicate that te set equal-
ization has been stored in the memory.

computer operation merely by depressing the correspymding MEM-
ORY 1 ~ 4 switch.
* The “SOUND MENU" in the switches is erased when atustom equal- .
iZation is stored in the MEMORY 1 ~ 4 switches.
* When the unit’s power plug is disconnected and then reco nnected and
the POWER switch is set to ON, the custom equalization stored in
the switch is erased and the ‘SOUND MENU” is made ayaailable again. -
