(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is
largely determined by the mix of the treble,
midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usually
sound better with different mixes of treble,
mid-range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.
Touching the SOUNDº switch displayed
on the screen at the audio control mode
will display the sound control mode. Ad-
just the tone and balance as follows.
To adjust the tone, touch the +º or -º
switch on the screen. To adjust the bal-
ance between the front and rear speakers,
touch the FRONTº or REARº switch on
the screen, and to adjust the balance be-
tween the left and right, touch the Lº or
Rº switch on the screen.
BASSº: Adjusts low-pitched tones.
MIDº: Adjusts mid-pitched tones.
TREBº: Adjusts high-pitched tones.
As the yellow display goes up, each tone is
more emphasized. (c) Sound adjusting function
(convertible with 7 speakers)
The audio system automatically adjusts the
sound to the suitable tone according to the
convertible top condition.
When the tone level is adjusted, audio will be
disrupted momentarily.
