Audio Adjustments Using automatic sound levelizer While driving, the noise in the car changes according to the driving speed and the road conditions. The automatic sound levelizer (ASL) monitors such varying noise and automatically increases the volume level, if the noise becomes greater. The sensitivity (variation of volume level to noise level) of ASL can be set to one of five levels. 1. Press AUDIO and then press NEXT to display "ASL". Press NEXT until "ASL" appears. 2. Press ASL to select the automatic sound levelizer mode. 3. Press ASL to set the automatic sound levelizer sensitivity. Press ASL repeatedly to switch between the following settings: OFF (off) = Low (low) = Mid-Low (mid-low) = Mid (mid) = Mid-High (mid-high) = High (high) • When the ASL mode is exited except for "OFF" is selected, "ASL" appears on the basic display. Adjusting source levels SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. • Settings are based on the FM tuner volume level, which remains unchanged. 1. Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you want to adjust (e.g., built-in CD player). 2. Press AUDIO and then press NEXT to display "SLA". Press NEXT until "SLA" appears. 3. Press SLA to select the SLA mode. 4. Press 5 or ∞ to adjust the source volume. Each press of 5 or ∞ increases or decreases the source volume. • "+4" - "-4" is displayed as the source vol- ume is increased or decreased. Note: • Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is not possible to apply source level adjustments to the FM tuner. • The AM tuner volume level can also be adjusted using source level adjustment. • The built-in CD and the multi-CD players are both set to the same source level adjustment volume automatically. Switching the digital attenuator When listening to a CD or other source on which the recording level is high, setting the equalizer curve level to high may result in distortion. You can switch the digital attenuator to low to reduce distortion. • Sound quality is better at the high setting, so this is the setting usually used. 1. Press AUDIO and then press NEXT to display "D.ATT". Press NEXT until "D.ATT" appears. 2. Press D.ATT to select the digital attenuator mode. 3. Press the corresponding button to select the digital attenuator level. Button LOW HIGH Level Low High 49
