Audio Adjustment
Front Image Enhancer Function (FIE)
The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging
by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their out-
put to low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut.
Note:
• After switching the F.I.E. function ON, select the Fader/Balance mode in the Audio Menu, and
adjust front and rear speaker volume levels until they are balanced.
• When the Rear Speaker Output setting is “Sub woofer output” , you cannot switch the F.I.E. mode.
(Refer to page 57.)
• Switch the F.I.E. function OFF when using a 2-speaker system.
Source Level Adjustment (SLA) Function
The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume level when
switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume level, which remains
unchanged.
1. Compare the FM volume with the volume of the other source.
(e.g. Built-in CD player)
2. Press the AUDIO button and select the SLA mode (SLA) in the Audio Menu.
Note:
• Since the FM volume is the control, SLA is not possible in the FM modes.
• The MW/LW volume level, which is different from the FM base setting volume level, can also be
adjusted similar to sources other than tuner.
• The Built-in CD player and Multi-CD player are set to the same volume adjustment setting auto-
matically.
3. Increase or decrease the level
with the

Precaution:
• Do not switch F.I.E. function and High Pass Filter function ON at the same time.
• When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just
bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in volume.
