Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).

Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
