Turning on/off the BBEII function
The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,
broadcasts, etc.
ENGLISH
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low , mid and high frequencies b y adding
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the case
and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center

When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this recevier.
• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this recevier.
