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.
