Front Image Enhancer Function (Fie); Source Level Adjustment (Sla) - Pioneer SUPER TUNER III Mode D'emploi

Front Image Enhancer Function (FIE)

The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging
by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their out-
put to low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut.
Precaution:
• When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just
bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in volume.
1. Press the AUDIO button and select the F.I.E. mode (FIE) in the Audio Menu.
2. Switch the F.I.E. function
ON/OFF with the 5/∞ but-
tons.
3. Select the desired frequency
with the 2/3 buttons.
100 + = 160 + = 250 (Hz)
Note:
• After switching the F.I.E. function ON, select the Fader/Balance mode in the Audio Menu, and
adjust front and rear speaker volume levels until they are balanced.
• Switch the F.I.E. function OFF when using a 2-speaker system.

Source Level Adjustment (SLA)

The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume level when
switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume, which remains
unchanged.
1. Compare the FM volume with the volume of the other source.
(e.g. Built-in CD player)
2. Press the AUDIO button and select the SLA mode (SLA) in the Audio Menu.
3. Increase or decrease the level
with the 5/∞ buttons.
The display shows "+4" – "–4".
Note:
• Since the FM volume is the control, SLA is not possible in the FM modes.
• The AM volume level, which is different from the FM base setting volume level, can also be
adjusted similar to sources other than tuner.
