Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 3000, Reference Book

10

All sound levels are set to neutral

values from the factory, but you can

make your own sound adjustments

and store them.

If you store a volume level,

BeoSound 3000 will start playing at

this level each time you switch it on.

The BeoSound 3000 also features a

loudness function which you can

activate or deactivate as you like. 

The loudness function makes the

music more dynamic. It compensates

for the human ear’s lack of sensitivity

to high and low frequencies when

listening to low music.

If you do not store the sound adjust-

ments you make, BeoSound 3000

will return to the preset sound levels

once you switch it off.

If you only want to adjust volume,

simply press the buttons 

∧

or

∨

directly to turn the volume up or

down.

NOTE! When BeoSound 3000 is used in a fully

integrated Bang & Olufsen Audio/Video system,

sound must be adjusted as described in the guide

for the video system. When you press the

SOUND button, the display will read USE TV.
