SOUND SETTINGS
TONE AND BALANCE
TONE:
How good an audio program sounds is
largely determined by the mix of the tre-
ble, mid and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usu-
ally sound better wi th different mixes of
treble, mid and bass.
BALANCE:
A good balance of the left and right ste-
reo channels and of the front and rear
sound levels is also important.

volume of 1 group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.

USING HD Radio ™

TECHNOLOGY
HD Radio ™
Technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
radio product has a special receiver
which allows it to receive digital broad-
casts (where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts have better sound
quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free, crystal clear
audio with no static or distortion. For
more information, and a guide to avail-
able radio stations and programming,
