Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the MP3 or WMA
compression process, sound quality often suffers from
an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature
employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality
sound back to compressed two channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts
left over after compression.
Tip
• This feature is effective when used together with the
Jukebox function of the HDD/DVD recorder.
