Turning Loudness On/Off
(CDM-9821 only)
Loudness introduces a special low- and high-
frequency emphasis at low listening levels. This
compensates for the ear's decreased sensitivity to
bass and treble sound.
1 Press and hold the Rotary encoder for at least
2 seconds to activate or deactivate the loudness
mode.
The display shows "LOUD" when the loudness
mode is activated.
Audio Mute Function
Activating this function will instantly lower the
volume level by 20 dB.
1 Press the MUTE button to activate the MUTE
mode. The audio level will decrease by about
20 dB.
Pressing the MUTE button again will bring the
audio back to its previous level.
BBE Mode On/Off
(CDM-9823 only)
The BBE (Barcus Berry Electronics) processor
installed in this unit is designed to correct the
phase distortion inherent in most loudspeaker
designs. Ensuring the phase integrity of the signal
driving the speakers improves the accurate
reproduction of the sound.
1 Press and hold the Rotary encoder for at least 2
seconds to turn on the BBE mode.
Each press toggles between the BBE on and off
modes.
Setting the AUX Mode
You can input TV/video sound by connecting an
optional "M-Bus V-Link" (M-Bus/RCA interface
cable KCM-122B) to this component.
1 Press and hold the F/SETUP button for at least 3
seconds.
2 Press the g or f button to select the AUX
mode.

between AUX ON and AUX OFF.

SOURCE/POWER button and select the AUX
mode, then make the necessary adjustment.
