Default Technics SA-GX190 "Loudness" Randomly Appears After 13 Years?!?

i have a technics sa-gx190 receiver, and it's worked perfectly for 13
years. today, i turned it on and discovered the word "LOUDNESS" on the
LCD screen. i have no idea how "loudness" got turned on...i didn't
even know this receiver had a "loudness" feature (according to my
research, it doesn't!). there is no "loudness" button on the unit or
the original remote. now i can't figure out how to turn it off. i know
it's a silly issue that doesn't really matter...but it's strange. does
anyone know anything about this?

Sounds like typical geriatric LCD symptoms.

so an old LCD could freak out and light up a word? i suppose that's
possible since it's a very old unit. it's just a strange coincidence
that it lit up a feature that the receiver doesn't have (i guess
technics could use the same LCD panel in all their units, and some of
them do have "loudness"?)

Usually makes a big difference at low volumes. Most car audio head
units require holding a button for a certain amount of time. Perhaps
holding in some function button ??

complete mystery i guess.
