POSITION (listening position)

F/R POSITION (front/rear position) Simulates a natural sound field by delaying the sound output from speakers to suit your position:

 [FRONT L] (front left),  [FRONT R] (front right),  [FRONT] (center front),  [ALL] (center of your car),

[CUSTOM] (position set by “SongPal”), [OFF] (no position set) ADJ POSITION* (adjust position) Fine-tunes the listening position setting: [+3] – [CENTER] – [-3]. SW POSITION* (subwoofer position)

 [NEAR] (near),  [NORMAL] (normal),  [FAR] (far)

BALANCE

Adjusts the sound balance: [RIGHT-15] – [CENTER] – [LEFT-15].

FADER

Adjusts the relative level: [FRONT-15] – [CENTER] – [REAR-15].

DSEE (digital sound enhancement engine)

Improves digitally compressed sound by restoring high frequencies lost in the compression process. This setting can be memorized for each source other than the tuner. Selects the DSEE mode: [ON], [OFF].

AAV (advanced auto volume)

Adjust the playback volume level of all playback sources to the optimum level: [ON], [OFF].

REARBAS ENH (rear bass enhancer)

Rear Bass Enhancer enhances the bass sound by applying a low pass filter setting to the rear speakers. This function allows the rear speakers to work as a subwoofer if one is not connected. (Available only when [SW DIREC] is set to [OFF].) RBE MODE (rear bass enhancer mode) Selects the rear bass enhancer mode: [1], [2], [3], [OFF]. LPF FREQ (low pass filter frequency) Selects the subwoofer cut-off frequency: [50Hz], [60Hz], [80Hz], [100Hz], [120Hz]. LPF SLOPE (low pass filter slope) Selects the LPF slope: [1], [2], [3].

SW DIREC (subwoofer direct connection)

You can use the subwoofer without a power amplifier when it is connected to the rear speaker lead. (Available only when [RBE MODE] is set to [OFF].) Be sure to connect a 4 – 8 ohm subwoofer to either of the rear speaker leads. Do not connect a speaker to the other rear speaker lead. SW MODE (subwoofer mode) Selects the subwoofer mode: [1], [2], [3], [OFF]. SW PHASE (subwoofer phase) Selects the subwoofer phase: [NORM], [REV]. SW POSITION* (subwoofer position) Selects the subwoofer position: [NEAR], [NORMAL], [FAR]. LPF FREQ (low pass filter frequency) Selects the subwoofer cut-off frequency: [50Hz], [60Hz], [80Hz], [100Hz], [120Hz]. LPF SLOPE (low pass filter slope) Selects the LPF slope: [1], [2], [3].

SUB WOOFER (subwoofer)

SW LEVEL (subwoofer level) Adjusts the subwoofer volume level: [+10 dB] – [0 dB] – [-10 dB]. ([ATT] is displayed at the lowest setting.) SW PHASE (subwoofer phase) Selects the subwoofer phase: [NORM], [REV]. SW POSITION* (subwoofer position) Selects the subwoofer position: [NEAR], [NORMAL], [FAR]. LPF FREQ (low pass filter frequency) Selects the subwoofer cut-off frequency: [50Hz], [60Hz], [80Hz], [100Hz], [120Hz]. LPF SLOPE (low pass filter slope) Selects the LPF slope: [1], [2], [3].

HPF (high pass filter)

HPF FREQ (high pass filter frequency) Selects the front/rear speaker cut-off frequency: [OFF], [50Hz], [60Hz], [80Hz], [100Hz], [120Hz]. HPF SLOPE (high pass filter slope) Selects the HPF slope (effective only when [HPF FREQ] is set to other than [OFF]): [1], [2], [3].

AUX VOLUME (AUX volume level)

Adjusts the volume level for each connected auxiliary device: [+18 dB] – [0 dB] – [-8 dB]. This setting negates the need to adjust the volume level between sources.

BTA VOLUME (BLUETOOTH audio volume level)

Adjusts the volume level for each connected BLUETOOTH device: [+6 dB] – [0 dB] – [-6 dB]. This setting negates the need to adjust the volume level between sources.

* Does not appear when [F/R POSITION] is set to [OFF].
