• – Vinyl record sounds. Enjoy the sound of scratches and hisses from a vinyl record mixed with music from iPod, radio tuner, or other external input source. (Even greater effect is achieved when combined with Low Fidelity sound mode.)

When mixed with music, even new tracks produce a retro feel like looking at a sepia- toned photograph.

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.
