multichannel source, all channels are

each sound level varies with the music source
recorded in a portable audio player.

produced.

Listening with headphones

Stereo, A.L.C. and PhonesSurround modes
are available.
• With headphones connected, press
SURROUND to select Stereo or A.L.C., or
press ADV SURR to select PhonesSurround.

• A.L.C. – See Listening in stereo above
• PhonesSurround – Virtual surround
sound for headphones.
Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the MP3 or
WMA 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 two channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and smoothing
jagged artifacts left over after compression.
