Accuphase C-200 "COMP" button - What does it do?

Any ideas as to what the "COMP" button on my Accuphase C-200 does?

I mean, I can hear that it boosts bass and treble (so I guess I've kind of answered my own question), but what precisely is it doing - and what does it stand for? "Compensator"?

Thanks,
Mark

I'll take a stab.
Maybe "Compensate"? Similar to a "loudness" control?
This would boost both bass and treble and is designed
to allow one to listen at lower levels (like late at night)
and still get some extention at the freq. extremes.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I would be curious, literally just for curiousity's sake, what the boost is, frquency-wise, you know.

Thanks.
