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.

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.

stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is

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.

whole sound and adjusts volume balance off vocals only.

with quality near original sound by adding the complement
signal of high tone.
