Using the position selector
One way to assure a more natural sound is to
optimize the stereo image and place you right
in the center of the sound field. With the posi-
tion selector function, you can automatically
adjust the speaker output levels and insert a
delay time to match the number and position
of the occupied seats. When used in conjunc-
tion with the SFC, this feature will make the
sound image more natural and offer a panora-
mic sound that envelops you.
