(b) Automatic sound levelizer (ASL)
When the audio sound becomes difficult
to be heard due to road noise, wind noise
or other noises while driving, the system
adjusts to the optimum volume according
to the noise level. To turn this function on,
touch “ASL” on the audio control screen.
(c) 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 “SOUND” displayed on the
screen at the audio control mode will dis-
play the sound control mode. Adjust the
tone and balance as follows:
To adjust the tone, touch “+” or “ ” on the
screen. To adjust the balance between the
front and rear speakers, touch “FRONT”
or “REAR” on the screen, and to adjust the
balance between the left and right, touch
“L” or “R” on the screen.
“TREB”: Adjusts high− pitched tones.
“MID”: Adjusts mid− pitched tones.
“BASS”: Adjusts low −pitched tones.
As the yellow display approaches “+”, each
tone is more emphasized. (d) Selecting screen size (with rear seat

zontally to fill the screen.
