Audio Adjustment
Front Image Enhancer Function (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 out-
put to low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut.
1. Press the AUDIO button and select the F.I.E. mode (FIE) in the Audio
Menu.
Note:
• When the H.P.F. function is ON, you cannot switch to the F.I.E. mode.
• 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.
• When the Rear Speaker Lead setting is “Rear SP:S.W”, you cannot switch the F.I.E. mode. (Refer
to page 50.)
• Switch the F.I.E. function OFF when using a 2-speaker system.
Source Level Adjustment (SLA)
The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume level when
switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume level, which remains
unchanged.
1. Compare the FM volume with the volume of the other source.
(e.g. Cassette player.)
2. Press the AUDIO button and select the SLA mode (SLA) in the Audio Menu.
3. Select the desired frequency
with the 2/3 buttons.
100 += 160 += 250 (Hz)

2. Switch the F.I.E. function
ON/OFF with the 5/∞ buttons.
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.
