Clarification on Volume Settings

[brentnall]

Right then guys and gals, hoping you can help me decipher this.

In the volume setup menu we have two options which the manual provides very little information.
These are Volume Adjustment and Audio Lowering.

As you can see below, neither of these exist in the English version of the manual (I assume these are due to the usual communication failures between the translation dept and the programmers of the media system)

Now if we go ahead and assume that "Volume Adjustment" corresponds to "Volume according to speed" in the manual and "Audio Lowering" is actually "Reduce volume" in the manual then what the hell is OPS, and how is is enabled and disabled???

I'm going to play around with the Volume Adjustment option to see if this really does adjust "Volume according to speed", however some clarification on what Audio Lowering does would be really helpful.
Can anyone shed any light on the above mess?

I too am interested in this.
Picked up my FR with SSS on Friday and no matter how much I have tried, the system seems to adjust the sound level on the bass (lower and then higher) all the time.. However, when testing at a standstill I do not get this.

Have a read through this thread;

Its the stereo protecting itself for any distortion, you can't turn the volume really loud if the bass on the song is too high.

Ive found that if you keep the sub volume set to +1 or +2 rather than +8 (and instead compensate by turning up the bass in the EQ settings) that you can get quite a bit out of the sub without it protecting itself at higher volumes.

Not ideal of course, especially when we paid extra for the sub in the first place... but its better than the weird protective auto volume leveling that goes on at high volumes otherwise

It's the Optical Parking System, so when you reverse and the parking sensors are activated it lowers the volume as per your setting.

Hah wow, that's why I love this forum. Thanks for clearing that up easybreeze, makes total sense!

audio lowering is as easybreeze has stated it also applies to the lowering of voice on sat nav
