Sound Control

SRS and SQ that provide users with simple adjustment of sound quality are described on this page. Audio Setting (a page 30) allows
users to adjust each speaker and the optional subwoofer in more detail (regarding BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, FADER, SUB.W, LPF,
HPF, REAR).

SRS WOW™ is 3-D sound technology based on the HRTF
(Head Related Transfer Function) theory. Unlike
conventional audio systems, “natural 3-D sound field”,
“rich bass”, and “crisp and clear sound” can be obtained
at the same time in a wide area in front of speakers.

Holding down [VOL] (SRS WOW) for 2 sec. or more
toggles SRS WOW on and off.
