ance between the front and rear speakers.

tween the left and right speakers.
“OK”: The previous screen returns. How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, mid−
range, and bass levels.
In fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, mid− range and bass.
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 if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
