Boosting the bass
Bass boost function boosts the bass level of
sound lower than 100 Hz. The more the bass
level is increased, the more the bass sound is
emphasized and the entire sound becomes
powerful. When using this function with the
subwoofer, the sound under the cut-off fre-
quency is boosted.
1 Press AUDIO to select BASS.
# You can also select the bass boost setting by
pressing and holding
SW.
2 Press a or b to select a desired level.
0 to +6 is displayed as the level is increased or
decreased.
Front image enhancer (F.I.E.)
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 output to
low-range frequencies. You can select the fre-
quency you want to cut.
Precaution
When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear
speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just
bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disenga-
ging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in vo-
lume.
1 Press AUDIO to select FIE.
# When the rear output setting is R-SP :S/W,
you cannot select
FIE.
# When the HPF function is on, you cannot se-
lect
FIE.
2 Press a to turn F.I.E. on.
# To turn F.I.E. off, press b.
3 Press c or d to select a desired fre-
quency.

ance adjustment (refer to page 17) and adjust
front and rear speaker volume levels until they
are balanced.

Adjusting source levels
SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust
the volume level of each source to prevent ra-
dical changes in volume when switching be-
tween 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 wish to ad-
just.
2 Press AUDIO to select SLA.
3 Press a or b to adjust the source vo-
lume.
SLA : +4 to SLA :
–4 is displayed as the source
volume is increased or decreased.
Notes
! The AM tuner volume level can also be ad-
justed with source level adjustments.
! The built-in CD player and the multi-CD player
are set to the same source level adjustment
volume automatically.
! External unit 1 and external unit 2 are set to
the same source level adjustment volume
automatically.
