SETTING FUNCTION
Audio In the audio settings, you may have the following setting
capabilities:
•Sound Customization— This function allows you to set the
Equalizer, Balance/Fader and Vocal Image Control.
•Equalizer— How good an audio program sounds is
largely determined by the mix of the treble, mid and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with different mixes of
treble, mid and bass.
•Balance/Fader— 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 when listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase
the volume of 1 group of sounds while decreasing the
volume of another.
•Vocal Image Control— Extracts only vocal sound from
whole sound and adjusts volume balance off vocals only.
•Sound Restorer— This function plays compressed audio
with quality near original sound by adding the complement
signal of high tone.
•Virtual Bass— This function corrects the bass sound by
adding harmonic sound.
•Dynamic Beat Enhancer— This function expands the
dynamic range lost in data compression and creates a sharp
beat sound.
•Speed Volume Control— The system adjusts to the
optimum volume and tone quality according to vehicle speed
to compensate for increased vehicle noise.
•AUX Volume Gain— Sets the AUX volume gain.

Checking for Map Updates
You can update the maps to the latest information. The maps should be checked and
updated regularly for the best possible navigation experience.
Atwww.subaru-maps.com, you can update the entire USA map at once via USB. The
maps can also be updated over the air. When updating over the air, you can update eight
regions at a time. This allows you to update your home state without having to download
the entire map program for the United States. This option is great if you normally stay in
your home state and/or surrounding states.
Updating Over-the-Air
To check for available updates over-the-air, first connect to a Wi-Fi network (see
page 131). Map updates can be found by selecting “Settings”, then “Navigation” on the
Touchscreen.
For step by step directions for updating your maps through Wi-Fi, please refer to
page 152.
Updating Maps Using Your PC/MAC
Maps can also be updated using a USB memory device, which will
allow the entire map program to be updated at one time. This is a
great option if you are going to take a cross-country trip and your
maps have not been updated in a while.
To update the map using a USB memory device, start by going to
www.subaru-maps.com.
