Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the 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.1

•Press S. RETRIEVER to switch the sound retriever on or off.
