There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD,
e t c .) .Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted
to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
