Adjusting The Tonal Quality - Yamaha R-S300 Owner's Manual

PLAYING AND RECORDING

Adjusting the tonal quality

■ Using the PURE DIRECT switch
Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the
input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and
LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to
the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.
The PURE DIRECT indicator lights up and the front panel
display turns off after a few seconds.
Notes
• The BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and LOUDNESS controls
do not function while the PURE DIRECT feature is turned on.
• This setting is retained even if you turn off this unit.

BASS
The BASS and TREBLE controls adjust high and low
frequency response.
The center position produces a flat response.
BASS
When you feel there is not enough bass (low frequency
sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is
too much bass, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)
TREBLE
When you feel there is not enough treble (high frequency
sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is
too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 kHz)
■ Adjusting the BALANCE control
The BALANCE control adjusts the sound output balance
of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound
imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room
conditions.
