Using the Sound Retriever

1
• Default setting: On (FRONT AUDIO IN and HOME
MEDIA GALLERY functions) / Off (all other
functions)
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.
Sound Retriever settings are saved separately for each
playback function.
• During playback, press S.RETRIEVER to switch
the sound retriever on or off.

Using Digital Noise Reduction

May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for
example, cassette or video tape with lots of background
noise) when switched on.
Digital Noise Reduction settings are saved separately for
each function.
• Press DIGITAL NR to switch on or off.
