Using the equalizer
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to
match vehicle interior acoustic characteristics as
desired.
Recalling equalizer curves
There are six stored equalizer curves which you
can easily switch. Here is a list of the equalizer
curves:

Touch “EQ” in the AUDIO menu.
Touch “EQ” button repeatedly to switch
between the following equalizers:
POWERFUL — NATURAL — VOCAL —
CUSTOM — FLAT — SUPERBASS
❒ A separate CUSTOM curve can be cre-
ated for each source. If you make adjust-
ments, the equalizer curve settings will be
memorized in CUSTOM.

correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equalizer
curves by switching alternatively between
FLAT and a set equalizer curve.
