Using the auto-equalizer
The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre-
ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and
EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)
on this page) on this page).
You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.
1 Display the DSP function menu.
Refer to Introduction of menu operations on
page 45.
2 Touch Auto EQ.
# You cannot use this function if auto TA and
EQ have not been carried out.
3 Touch d to turn the auto-equalizer on.
# To turn the auto-equalizer off, touch c.
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time
alignment and auto-equalizing)
Auto-time alignment automatically adjusts the
time alignment according to the distance be-
tween the listening position and each speaker.
The auto-equalizer automatically measures
the car
’s interior acoustic characteristics, and
then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on
that information.
WARNING
As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the
speakers when measuring the car's interior
acoustic characteristics, never perform auto TA
or auto EQ while driving.
CAUTION
! Thoroughly check the conditions before per-
forming auto TA and EQ as the speakers may
be damaged if these functions are performed
when:
— The speakers are incorrectly connected.
(For example, when a rear speaker is con-
nected as a subwoofer output.)
— A speaker is connected to a power amp de-
livering output higher than the speaker
’s
maximum input power capability.
