subwoofer output (“SW”).

• SPRM 

(Supreme)

   Technology to extrapolate and supplement with 

proprietary algorithm, the high-frequency range 
that is cut off when encoding at low bit rate.
Supplementing is optimized by compression 
format (MP3 or WMA) and processed according to 
bit rate.
The effect is negligible with music that is encoded 
at high bit rate, variable bit rate or has minimal high 
frequency range.

• CD

When unable to play special format CD, set this 
function to “2” to force playing. Note that some 
music CD may be unplayable even when set to “2”. 
In addition, audio files cannot be played when set 
to “2”. Normally, keep this set to “1”.

listening to output from external unit. This
