Optimizing Mark Levinson
I just picked up my 2018 GS 350 with the Mark Levinson sound system. I have only found a setting for bass, mid range and treble. are there other settings to view? does the system need to be optimized or personalized or is it best in the default setting for bass, midrange and treble. thanks.

Yep, I agree with @drgrant turn that superficial stuff off. You're not going to be listening to anything that actually takes advantage of of those options. System sounds much better with that stuff off.
GS ML system isn't anything to brag home about.

+1 on the surround and sound-leveling "off. The 'hardest' adjustment to make is that you really need to set the fade to about half-way between center and rear. It doesn't make sense that they manufactured it that way, but the sound quality and separation are much better at that setting.

Like for example tonight I was listening to Boz Scaggs and even with my boosted MP3s I still had to get it into the 40s to crank it.
Other stuff is blasting below 20!
If you have CDs might be a different story, though... I just stream via BT from my work iPhone.
