HDD AUDIO PLAYER
HAP-S1
Using the Volume Normalization function (Volume Normalization)
If you set the Volume Normalization function to [Auto], the recording level of tracks or albums is
analyzed when the music files are transferred and registered to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER, and the volume
level is adjusted to minimize the difference in volume between each track or album during playback. Even
if you play tracks from multiple albums with different volume levels in random order (shuffle play), this
function stops the volume from increasing or decreasing for different tracks, allowing natural change in
volume during playback.
When this function is set to [Off] (factory default setting), the volume level is not adjusted.
1. Select [Settings] - [Audio Settings] in the Home screen.
2. Select [Volume Normalization].
3. Select [Auto].
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER must be connected to the Internet when analyzing music files using the
Volume Normalization function in order to obtain music information from the Gracenote server.
The volume level will not be adjusted for music files that the HDD AUDIO PLAYER cannot analyze.
The volume level will not be adjusted for DSD format files as the DSD file format is not compatible with
analysis.
