Enjoying your best sound
— X-DSP
X-DSP, Sony's new sound engine, creates an
ideal in-car sound field with digital signal
processing. X-DSP contains the following
features: HDEQ, DSO 3D, Intelligent Time
Alignment (abbreviated as I-TA) and BBE MP.
See the descriptions for each feature below.
There are two setting methods, one allowing easy
setup for less-critical listening, and the other a
more precise adjustment for critical listeners.
For easy setup, by selecting a preset, see “Setting X-
DSP easily” (page 10).
For more precise adjustment, see “Optimizing
your sound — Sound MENU” (page 11) and
“Precisely adjusting your sound” (page 13).
Notes
•
X-DSP sound is achieved using four channels,
consisting of two front speakers and two rear
speakers. If you use only front speakers or rear
speakers, the effect will be as pronounced.
•
The degree of effect will depend on your vehicle type
and its speakers.
HDEQ
The independent four channels-13 band-
equalizer allows you to adapt the music to your
favorite taste.
Tip
See “HDEQ Tuning” (page 11) for customizing more
precisely.
