Compression (NR)

The Compression function processes the audio signal and makes quieter passages louder, allowing the music to be heard in an automotive environment. The NR button serves a dual function with radio preset button number 4.

Pressing this control in the CD mode toggles compression on or off. The unit stays in the selected mode until the operator resets the unit or until battery voltage is lost. The compression symbol (COMP) is displayed while this feature is in effect. Compression is only effective in the CD mode.
