INFORMATION
If the system does not respond to

move your finger away from the
screen and then touch it again.
You cannot operate dimmed

Wipe off fingerprints on the sur-

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 pro-
grams usually sound better with different
levels of treble, midrange, 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.
1. Touching SOUNDº displays the
sound adjustment screen.

the amount of channel separation to pre-
vent the weak signal from creating noise.

radio switches from stereo to mono recep-
tion. In this case, STº disappears from the
screen.
