Using the AVLS feature

•When the AVLS selector is set to either position 1 or 2, the playback sound may be distorted or unstable according to the music (especially bass boosted part). If this happens, turn down the volume.

•When the AVLS selector is turned off, you will be able to enjoy the full volume capability of your Walkman personal stereo.
