SOUND ADJUSTMENTS

Turning on/off the loudness function

The human ear is less sensitive to low and high frequencies at low volumes.

The loudness function can boost these frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at low volume levels. Each time you press LOUD, the loudness function turns on and off alternately.
