Weak signals are increased so that the bass is more present and satisfactory, even at low listening levels, while powerful signals are decreased in amplitude. This function allows for an excellent listening comfort in bass response, even at very low listening levels, and to avoid disturbing the neighbors or others nearby. Program application Three digital memory settings are accessible on the remote control (button ). the factory settings correspond generally to a range of applications. The "Hi-fi" mode corresponds to a setting, which is as linear as possible, with a well-integrated and deep bass. Consult the table at the end of the manual to return to the factory settings. Thanks to the ease of use of the remote, one can control at distance all the functions in order to immediately compare the different choices without leaving the listening zone, which allows the installer to tune with great precision. The digital display of different values of filtering or correction allows one to easily recognize and establish the favorite settings (this should be saved in writing at the end of the manual).
