Front image enhancer (FIE)
The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a
simple method of enhancing front imaging by
cutting mid- and high-range frequency output
from the rear speakers, limiting their output to
low-range frequencies. You can select the fre-
quency you want to cut.
Precaution
• When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the
rear speakers output sound of all frequencies,
not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume
before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden
increase in volume.
1 Press AUDIO to select FIE.
Press AUDIO until FIE appears in the display.
2 Select FIE on or off with 5/∞.
3 Select the desired frequency with 2/3.
100—160—250 (Hz)
Notes
• After switching the F.I.E. function ON, select
the Fader/Balance mode in the Audio Menu,
and adjust front and rear speaker volume
levels until they are balanced.
• Switch the F.I.E. function OFF when using a 2-
speaker system.
Adjusting source levels
SLA (Source level adjustment) lets you adjust
the volume level of each source to prevent radi-
cal changes in volume when switching between
sources.
• Settings are based on the volume level of the
FM tuner, which remains unchanged.
1 Compare the FM tuner volume level with
the level of the source you wish to adjust.
2 Press AUDIO to select SLA.
Press AUDIO until SLA appears in the display.
3 Press 5or ∞to adjust the source volume.
Each press of 5or ∞increases or decreases
the source volume.
•SLA +4 – SLA –4 is displayed as the source
volume is increased or decreased.
Notes
• Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is
not possible to apply source level adjustments
to the FM tuner.
• The AM tuner volume level can also be
adjusted with source level adjustments.
