The unit can change the localization of sound by
delaying the sound output from each speaker to
suit your position, and simulate a natural sound
field with the feeling of being in the center of it
wherever you sit in the car.
The options for "POSITION" are indicated
below.
"FRONT L" (1): Front left
"FRONT R" (2): Front
right
"FRONT" (3): Center front
"ALL" (4): In the center of
your car
"OFF": No position set
You can also set the approximate subwoofer
position from your listening position if:
– the audio output is set to "SUB-OUT"
(page 17).
– the listening position is set besides "OFF."
