compensate for the loss of audio data upon compression, improving
the sound’s sense of density and modulation.
Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is

information of the compressed audio file being played on the player
is acquired using the Control with HDMI function, and the sound is
optimized based on this information (Sound Retriever Link).
