until the speaker control tabs display.
2. Continue pressing
to highlight the tab, or press the softkey under the tab.
3. To adjust the highlighted setting, do one of the following until the levels are obtained:
• Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise.
• Press
FWD, or
REV.
To quickly adjust balance or fade to the middle position, press the softkey under the BAL or FADE tab for more than two seconds. A beep sounds and the level adjusts to the middle position.

Radios with CD and DVD fade differently depending on the DVD Media type:
• With DVD-A 5.1 Surround media, the left front and right front speakers fade rearward, leaving the center front speakers unaffected until the last fade step, then all front speakers mute.
• With DVD-V 5.1 Surround media, surround sound is maintained until Step 4 of the Fade control is reached while fading rearward. At that point the audio system output changes to Stereo to prevent the loss of Center channel output when the full rearward fade position is reached.
If the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) is turned on, the radio disables FADE and mutes the rear speakers.
