Terminology Bit rate This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files. Sampling rate This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data. Encoding Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format. Tag Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files. Root folder The root folder is found at the top of the file system.

Loudness introduces a special low-and high-frequency emphasis at
low listening levels. This compensates for the ear’s decreased
sensitivity to bass and treble sound. The function is inoperable when
DEFEAT is set to ON.

If you set the 4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.)/2.2ch (3WAY) switch of
the IMPRINT audio processor (PXA-H100) to 2.2ch (3WAY), you
cannot adjust the FADER mode. For details, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of PXA-H100.

When an external audio processor is connected, this setting cannot
be made.

or
Rotary encoder
