## Adjusting the Noise Canceling effect [Set Noise Cancel Level]

The player is designed to obtain the maximum effect of the Noise Canceling function [Details]. However, you may be able to enhance the effect depending on your ear shape or usage environment by increasing (or decreasing) the sensitivity of the microphone installed in the headphones. You can adjust the microphone sensitivity by setting the Noise Cancel level. Adjust the function if the Noise Canceling effect is unsatisfactory.

1. From the Home menu, select [Settings] [NC Settings] [Set Noise Cancel Level].

1. Press the / button to adjust the setting level, and then press the button to confirm.

- The setting can be adjusted in 31 steps. The center position of the indicator will obtain the maximum effect under normal ambience. Move the position of the indicator to adjust the desired value.

Hint

- You can also adjust the setting from the [NC Modes] screen, by selecting [Set Noise Cancel Level] from the option menu.

Note

- This function is only effective when the supplied headphones are connected to the player and [Noise Canceling: On/Off] is set to [On].

- The default setting (center position of the indicator) will obtain the maximum effect under normal ambience. The effect of the Noise Canceling function is not necessarily enhanced by maximizing the microphone sensitivity.
