If the cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will

lack bass. Do not allow exposed wires to touch each other

or metal parts; this could damage the unit and speakers.

For AX-492’s SPEAKERS A and B terminals and

for AX-592’s SPEAKERS B terminals only:

➀

Unscrew the knob.

➁

Insert the exposed wire.

[Remove approx. 5 mm

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE

controls

Adjusting the BALANCE control Selecting the SPEAKER system

Adjusts the balance of the output volume to the left and right

speakers to compensate for channel imbalance caused by

speaker location or listening room conditions.

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit,

allowing you to select speaker system A or B, or both.

Adjusting the continuously variable

LOUDNESS control

This control provides compensation for the human ears’ loss of

sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.

This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any

volume level.

1 Set the control to “FLAT”.

2 Set the volume to the highest desired listening level.

3 Turn until the desired volume is gained.

Setting the SUBSONIC FILTER switch

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your sources by

setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. The signals

bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS

controls, the SUBSONIC FILTER switch (

AX-592 and AX-892

only

), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (

AX-592 and AX-

892 only

), eliminating any alterations to the signals.

Selecting ON temporarily reduces the volume.

When this switch is set ON, undesirable ultra-low-frequency

signals caused by turntable rumble or warped records can be

eliminated without losing sound quality.

MUTING

ON OFF

PURE DIRECT

SUBSONIC

FILTER

ON OFF

Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch

For the best CD sound, set this switch so the indicator

illuminates. The CD input signal is sent to a separate circuit,

bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE

and LOUDNESS controls, SUBSONIC FILTER switch (AX-592

and AX-892 only), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (

AX-

592 and AX-892 only

) and then goes directly to the amplifier.

This signal routing ensures the purest CD sound, eliminating

any alterations to the original CD signals.

CD DIRECT AMP

Using the MUTING switch

Note

If both the CD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT switches are

on, only the CD DIRECT AMP switch will function.

AX-592 and AX-892 only

AX-892 only

WARNING

When the LOUDNESS control has been set, if the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch is pressed, the sound

will suddenly increase and may damage your ears or the speaker (the LOUDNESS control function may be bypassed).

Therefore, only press the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch after lowering the volume or after checking

that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
