Note: Curves programmed into the memory will be retained for about two weeks if the AC power supply cord is unplugged. Note, however, that curves originally programmed beforehand into the unit's memory as permanent curves (the "fixed" curves) will not be erased. 1 manual: Press the "memo mode" button. Select this mode when you want to retrieve a equalization curve that you have programmed into memory. fixed: Select this mode when you want to retrieve a equalization curve that was originally programmed into memory as a permanent ("fixed") curve. (The memory-mode indicator will indicate the selection made. ) · "MOST RECENT" (recall) memory The last position of the EQ level controls (whether in memory or adjusted manually) will be automatically entered into the memory when the power is switched OFF. When the power is switched ON, these positions will be recalled. Press one of the preset-memory buttons, whichever corresponds to the curve to be retrieved. (The corresponding equalization-preset indicator will illuminate. ) ·While in the "fixed" mode, if one of the equalizer level-control buttons is pressed, the unit will automatically switch to the "manual" mode. -9- Operation ^"echoics Dowef (continued) Stereo Qfaphic Equetoe, SH-SE70 '* SpBCPU"!
