generation, and clear, precise sound through-
out the home.

or soul-souring highs, easily adjust equaliza-
tion settings at the keypad to fit the natural
acoustics for each room. Find creating the
ideal listening experience, even in open living

area) is as easy as the touch of a button using

time.
