ADJUSTING THE SOUND
Volume adjustment
To increase the volume
Turn JOG VOLUME clockwise (or press VOL
5 on the remote control unit).
To decrease the volume
Turn JOG VOLUME counterclockwise (or
press VOL ∞ on the remote control unit).
Caution
Do not turn off the unit with the volume set to an
extremely high level; otherwise a sudden blast of sound
might be produced damaging your hearing and/or the
speakers, when you turn on the unit next time or start
playing another source.
Listening through headphones
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES
jack.
Use commercially available 3.5-mm stereo mini
headphones (16 Ω to 32 Ω).
No sound comes out of the speakers when headphones
are connected.
Cautions
• Turn down the volume before connecting headphones
and keep the volume level low; as listening at high
volumes could damage your hearing.
• Do not drive while listening through headphones.

that you can select one that most matches the type of
music being played.

unit) repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, the EQ setting changes
as shown below.
