monitors such varying noise and automati-

becomes greater. The sensitivity (variation of
volume level to noise level) of ASL can be set
to one of five levels.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are seven stored equalizer curves that
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equalizer curves:
Equalizer curve
S.Bass is a curve in which only low-pitched sound is
boosted.
Powerful is a curve in which low- and high-pitched
sounds are boosted.
Natural is a curve in which low- and high-pitched
sounds are slightly boosted.
Vocal is a curve in which the midrange, which is the
human vocal range, is boosted.
Flat is a flat curve in which nothing is boosted.
Custom1 is an adjusted equalizer curve that you cre-
ate. If you select this curve, the effect is applied to all
AV sources.
Custom2 is an adjusted equalizer curve that you cre-
ate. If you select this curve, the effect is applied to all
AV sources.
p This function is available only when main
audio is available.
p The default setting is "Powerful".
p When "Flat" is selected, no supplement or
correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equalizer
curves by switching alternatively between
"Flat" and a set equalizer curve.
