I do not believe it's "slant", I believe it's just "SLA", which stands for "Source Level Adjustment".

Basically, it uses the FM radio as a reference. Then you can adjust the "source level" for any other sources (such as the CD player, an external changer, etc) in relation to the FM radio. So, if you set it to anwhere between +1 and +4 for the CD player, then the CD player will be louder (the entire bandwidth, not just the highs and subs) at any given volume setting than the FM radio. Likewise, if you set it to anywhere between -1 and -4, it will be quieter than the FM radio for any given volume setting.
