Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the WMA/ MP3/MPEG-4 AAC compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2- channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

•While listening to a stereo source, press SOUND RETRIEVER to switch the sound retriever on or off.
