SOUND
To change the sound settings, press the “Home” button and select “Settings”, then
“Sound”. Choose the setting you want to change.
SETTINGFUNCTION
Audio In the audio settings, you may have the following setting capabilities: •Sound Customization — This function allows you to set the Equalizer,
Balance/Fader and Vocal Image Control. • Equalizer — How good an audio program sounds is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with
different mixes of treble, mid and bass.
• Balance/Fader — A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that when listening to a stereo recording or broadcast,
changing the right/left balance will increase the volume of 1 group of
sounds while decreasing the volume of another.
• Vocal Image Control — Extracts only vocal sound from whole sound
and adjusts volume balance off vocals only.
• Sound Restorer — This function plays compressed audio with quality
near original sound by adding the complement signal of high tone.
• Virtual Base — This function corrects the bass sound by adding
harmonic sound.
• Dynamic Beat Enhancer — This function expands the dynamic range
lost in data compression and creates a sharp beat sound.
• Speed Volume Control — The system adjusts to the optimum volume
and tone quality according to vehicle speed to compensate for increased
vehicle noise.
