Adjusting TVG

A school of fish at a deep depth is displayed in weak colors even if it is equal in
strength to one in shallow waters. This is due to propagation attenuation of the ultra-
sonic wave. To compensate for this difference, use TVG. TVG automatically adjusts
the gain with depth so that echoes of the same strength and different depths are
shown in the same colors regardless of their depths. The gain is increased with depth
to display echoes of equal strengths in the same colors. In the figure below, for exam-
ple, the TVG is set for 100 m and the TVG level is adjusted. Then, unwanted echoes
at a distance less than 100 m are deleted and echoes at depths greater than 100 m
are not affected.
Unwanted echoes appear.
1. Press the MENU/ESC key, then open the [Setting], [External fish finder] or [Tele-
sounder] tab.
