Audio Adjustment <Main>

Adjusting the Listening Position <PS> (Open state)

One way to assure a more natural sound is to clearly position the stereo sound image (putting you in the center of the sound field).

The Position Selector function adjusts distance and volume level of sound from each speaker to match seat positions and the number of people in the car, and lets you recall set- tings at the touch of a button. The result is a natural sound regardless of the seat you are sitting in.
