Descriptions of menu settings
Selectable menu items are described below.
Off:
The adjustment of gaps between tracks is not performed. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER plays
tracks as they are.
Auto:
The tracks are played back without gaps (factory default setting).
Note
Short gaps may occur even if the Gapless Playback function is set to [Auto], depending
on the file format of the currently playing track and that of the next track to be played.
The Gapless Playback function will be applied only when you play the tracks of an album
in the original order.
Using the Volume Normalization function (Volume
Normalization)
If you set the Volume Normalization function to [Auto], the recording level of tracks or albums
is analyzed when the music files are transferred and registered to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER,
and the volume level is adjusted to minimize the difference in volume between each track or
album during playback. Even if you play tracks from multiple albums with different volume
levels in random order (shuffle play), this function stops the volume from increasing or
decreasing for different tracks, allowing natural change in volume during playback.
When this function is set to [Off] (factory default setting), the volume level is not adjusted.
1. Select [Settings] - [Audio Settings] in the Home screen.
2. Select [Volume Normalization].
3. Select [Auto].
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER must be connected to the Internet when analyzing music files
using the Volume Normalization function in order to obtain music information from the
Gracenote server.
The volume level will not be adjusted for music files that the HDD AUDIO PLAYER cannot
analyze.
