This disturbs frequency characteristics and significantly reduces sound quality. • The orientation of the sound image becomes unnatural, because speakers may not be installed symmetrically to

Audio Adjustment Using the compression (Open state) You can reduce the difference between the volume levels of loud and quiet sounds. The compression function suppresses loud sounds and boosts quiet sounds to reduce the difference between the volume levels of loud and quiet sounds. It is convenient to use this function when you want to hear quiet sounds more clearly. • CP2 (compression 2) has a larger effect than CP1 (compression 1). 1.

Audio Adjustment Adjusting the listening position (Open state) One way to assure a more natural sound is to clearly position the stereo sound image (putting you in the center of the sound field). The position selector function adjusts distance and volume level of sound from each speak- er to match seat positions and the number of people in the car, and lets you recall settings at the touch of a button. The result is a natural sound regardless of the seat you are sitting in. Button

Audio Adjustment About the equalizer menu One important factor for creating quality sound is the correction of disturbances in fre- quency characteristics within the complex shape of a vehicle interior. Reflected sounds have a strong effect on direct sound in a vehicle because of the vehicle’s shape, the confined space, absorption of sound by the seats and reflection from the win- dows. All these cause disturbances in the frequency characteristics. Such disturbances will be apparent
