Setting the Dynamic Soundstage Organizer
— DSO
If your speakers are installed into the lower part of the doors, the sound will come from below and may not be clear.
The DSO (Dynamic Soundstage Organizer) function creates a more ambient sound as if there were speakers above the dashboard (virtual speakers).
You can store the DSO setting for each source.
