Tuner Features

    *

      Radio Data System (RDS) (+) Yes

      Radio Data System (RDS) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts.

      This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, and is intended to aid you in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

      Note:

      • RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
      • RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS station.
    *

      Traffic Announcement (+) Yes
      The Traffic Announcement (TA) feature lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to.

      For example, if you are listening to an mp3, and a live traffic announcement is being broadcast on a particular radio station, TA will automatically detect the announcement, mute your mp3 and broadcast the announcement as it is being made.
    *

      Best Stations Memory (BSM) (+) Yes
      Best Stations Memory scans and memorises the six strongest, clearest stations available on each band.
    *

      Auto Alternative Frequency Search (+) Yes
      Auto Alternative Frequency Search occurs when the tuner cannot get a good reception, and automatically searches for a different radio station in the same network.
    *

      Auto/Manual Frequency Search (+) Yes
      Auto / Manual Frequency Search enables you to search for broadcast stations manually or automatically.

      The tuner will scan the frequencies until a broadcast strong enough for good reception is found.
    *

      PTY Search (+) Yes
      A PTY search is performed by program type as indicated in the PTY list (the program types are: News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). PTY also provides automatic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY alarm).

Audio

    *

      Advanced Sound Retriever (+) Yes
      ASR stands for Advanced Sound Retriever.
      Our ASR sound technology automatically restores the harmonics which were lost during the audio compression process.
      ASR adjusts frequency response and sound pressure, especially in the high and low frequency ranges, to revitalise the density and presence of the compressed signal.
      The result is an improved sound quality with its staging, density and feeling restored to the level of the original recording.
    *

      Auto EQ (+) Yes

      Let your system take care of your sound. Our new Auto EQ feature monitors and analyses the acoustics inside of your car and uses the measurements to automatically adjust your audio equalisation levels.

      Using a 3-band parametric equaliser Auto EQ adjusts the front and rear speakers separately. The result is audio perfectly suited to your in-car environment. (Please note: an optional microphone is required.)
    *

      Auto Time Alignment (+) Yes
      The auto time alignment is automatically adjusted for the distance between each speaker and the listening position.

      Auto time alignment adjusts the speaker sound output timing within your car for each speaker in steps of 2.5cm, so the sound form each speaker will reach your (the driver’s) ears at the same time.

      Auto time alignment automatically estimates the delay from each speaker to the listening position and adjusts the time alignment accordingly.
    *

      Balance Yes
    *

      D/A Converter 1-bit
    *

      Fader Yes
    *

      Graphic Equaliser 8-band with 7 pre-set EQ curves
    *

      High Pass Filter (+) Yes
      When the subwoofer is connected and you do not want low sound to play from the front or rear speakers, turn the high pass filter on. Only fre-quencies higher than those in the selected range will be output from the front or rear speakers.
    *

      Low Pass Filter (+) Yes
      When you activate the Low Pass Filter, only those frequencies below a specified frequency are output through a specified speaker.
    *

      Loudness (+) Yes
      At low volume levels, ambient noise levels in your car can overpower low and high frequency sounds in music.

      Loudness control proves a one-button way to boost these frequencies and provide a better overall sound at low level volumes.
    *

      Sonic Center Control (+) Yes

      Sonic Center ControlSonic Center Control is a listening position adjustment tool, which lets you optimally tune the audio output based on where you (or your passengers) are sitting.

      By changing the position to the right (as shown in the screenshot), the sound image will move to the right. The driver’s side speaker timing is adjusted, with the result of an improved sound stage based on your listening position.

      This feature takes the sound delay data used by DSPs and translates it into an analogue version using phase delays. However, in order to mimic a DSP’s sound delay, frequencies can only be altered up until midrange.
    *

      Spectrum Analyser Yes
