Enhancing The Sound Output; Noise Cancellation - Sony D6603 User Manual

Enhancing the sound output

You can enhance the sound of your device by manually enabling individual sound
settings such as Equaliser and Surround sound. You can also enable the Dynamic
normaliser to minimise volume differences between songs or videos. And you can
listen to high-resolution audio using a regular headset (connected via the headset
socket) or by connecting your device with a digital-to-analogue converter/amplifier
(DAC/amp) either wirelessly or by cable via the micro USB port of your device.

Noise cancellation

Your device supports noise cancelling headsets. By using a noise cancelling headset
with your device, you can get much clearer audio quality when listening, for example,
to music in a noisy environment, such as on a bus, a train or a plane. You can also
use this feature to create a silent environment in which to study, work or read.
To ensure optimal performance, noise cancelling headsets from Sony are recommended.
