ELECTRONIC VOLUME CONTROL
To increase or decrease the volume level press the VOLUME "+"
or "–" buttons on the front panel or on the remote control.
PRESET ELECTRONIC EQUALIZER (EQ)
This system has a 3-Band Preset Electronic Equalizer that allows
you to adjust the tone output for the most popular types of music.
The settings are “CLASSIC” (Flat), “JAZZ”, and “ROCK” (Pop).
The CLASSIC setting has the least amount of equalization. Use
this setting for classical music or when you want to listen to a CD
astheproducer intended. TheJAZZ setting placesmore emphasis
on the mid to high frequencies. The ROCK (Pop) setting places
more emphasis on the lower frequencies.
These settings are just suggestions. The final choice is up to you.
For example you may decide that you like to listen to all your
music with the EQ set to the ROCK (Pop) setting.
To change the EQ setting press the PRESET EQ button on the
frontpanel or onthe remotecontrol untilthedesired settingappears

This system can play normal CDs, and most Recordable CDs (CD-R), and
Rewriteable CDs (CD-RW). However the playability of CD-R and CD-RW discs is
