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.

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.)

Sonic 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.

Source Level Adjuster (SLA):Allows you to independently adjust the volume ratio between all of the headunit's sources (using the FM volume level as a reference), so the start-up volume between sources will always be the same.

With App Mode selected, you can operate the unit's iPod function from your iPod. Also, you can listen to the sound of your iPod/iPhone applications through your car speakers and view any video content on the screen, provided the App supports analogue audio or video output.
