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. The Sound Retriever feature
employs new DSP technology that helps bring
CD quality sound back to compressed 2-
channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after
compression.
• While listening to a stereo source, press
SOUND RETRIEVER to switch the sound
retriever on or off.
