. Depending on the response
characteristics of the speaker, care should be taken when setting
the response slope to FLAT, as speaker damage may result. With
this unit, a message is displayed when the response slope for the
high range speaker is set to FLAT.

Notes

• While adjusting the X-Over, you should consider the frequency

response of the connected speakers.

• About the 2.2ch (3WAY)/4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.) system, you

can switch to 2.2ch (3WAY)/4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.) system
mode with the 2.2ch (3WAY)/4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.) switch on
the PXA-H100. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of PXA-H100.

Storing the Sound Field Adjustment Settings

The Sound Field Adjustment Settings containing Parametric EQ/
Graphic EQ, T.Correction and X-Over settings can be stored in the
preset memory.

1

When the settings of Sound Field Adjustment have been
completed, select any one of the preset buttons (1

through 6) in any item of the Sound Field Adjustment
mode (e.g. X-Over), press and hold the desired preset
buttons for at least 2 seconds.

2

 to store the adjusted contents.

PROTECT YES (Initial setting)  PROTECT NO

Notes

• If YES is selected, the adjusted contents are protected and stored into the

preset buttons. When you want to store the parameter into a protected
preset button, “Replace NO/YES” can be selected.

• If NO is selected, the preset is stored.
• While performing this operation, all adjusted contents of Parametric

EQ/Graphic EQ, T.Correction and X-Over will be stored in the preset
buttons.

• The stored contents are not deleted even when resetting the unit or

disconnecting the battery.

• The stored contents can be recalled by performing operation (refer to

“Recalling the Stored Sound Field Adjustment Settings” on page 39).

Recalling the Stored Sound Field Adjustment

through 6) that has your desired characteristic in memory
to recall the stored settings.

2

Press the preset buttons (1 through 6) again to return to

About Time Correction

The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely
due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances
from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and
frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the
sound reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear.
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers
closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased
distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal
distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging. The
adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4cm steps.
Listening Pos tion example as follows:

MID-H

20 Hz~20 kHz

HIGH

(1 kHz~20 kHz)

*1

/(20 Hz~20 kHz)

*2
