— X-DSP

X-DSP, Sony's new sound engine, creates an ideal in-car sound field with digital signal processing. X-DSP contains the following features: HDEQ, DSO 3D, Intelligent Time Alignment (abbreviated as I-TA) and BBE MP. See the descriptions for each feature below. There are two setting methods, one allowing easy setup for less-critical listening, and the other a more precise adjustment for critical listeners.

For easy setup, by selecting a preset, see “Selecting to taste — SOUND” (page 11).

For more precise adjustment, see “Optimizing your sound — Sound MENU” (page 11) and “Precisely adjusting your sound” (page 13).

Notes

•X-DSP sound is achieved using four channels, consisting of two front speakers and two rear speakers. If you use only front speakers or rear speakers, the effect will be as pronounced.

•The degree of effect will depend on your vehicle type and its speakers.
