Using automatic sound levelizer

During driving, noise in the car changes ac- cording to the driving speed and road condi- tions. The automatic sound levelizer (ASL)

monitors such varying noise and automati- cally increases the volume level, if this noise becomes greater. The sensitivity (variation of volume level to noise level) of ASL can be set to one of five levels.

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select ASL. ASL appears in the display.

2Press MULTI-CONTROL to turn ASL on.

ASL level (e.g., Mid-L) appears in the display.

# To turn ASL off, press MULTI-CONTROL again.

3Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select the desired ASL level.

Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, ASL level is selected in the following order:

Low (low)—Mid-L (mid-low)—Mid (mid)— Mid-H (mid-high)—High (high)

Note

When the ASL mode is turned on and exited, ASL appears on the display of each source.

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.

1Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you wish to ad- just.

2Use MULTI-CONTROL to select SLA. SLA appears in the display.
