SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With
SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically
to make up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move
the control ring behind the upper
knob to
the right to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same to you as you drive.
If you don't want
to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each notch on
the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
