TONE AND 3D CONTROL COMMANDS
Tone control is allowable. It ranges up to +-15 dB cut or enhancement for bass and treble filter with
step size of 1.5 dB. Although overflow prevention is performed, under the Bass Enhancement Mode,
the gain may be reduced so that overflow may be prevented in advance by issuing the prescale
command. This would generate better listening results.
The cut off frequency for bass filter is about 250Hz for MPEG1, 125Hz for MPEG2.
The cut off frequency for treble filter is about 10kHz for MPEG1, 5kHz for MPEG2.
The 3D Mode controls the 3D effect function. Please take note that if the 3D Mode is enabled, the tone
and balance controls are disabled.
