! If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable

position the measurement tone may become
loud and measurement may take a long time,
resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place
the microphone in the specified location.

Before operating the auto EQ function

! Carry out auto EQ in as quiet a place as

possible, with the car engine and air condi-
tioning switched off. Also cut power to car
phones or portable telephones in the car, or
remove them from the car before carrying
out auto EQ. Sounds other than the mea-
surement tone (surrounding sounds, en-
gine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may
prevent correct measurement of the car in-
terior acoustic characteristics.

! Be sure to carry out auto EQ using the op-

tional microphone. Using another micro-
phone may prevent measurement, or result
in incorrect measurement of the car inter-
ior acoustic characteristics.

! In order to perform auto EQ, the front

speaker must be connected.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto EQ may
not be possible if the power amp

’s input

level is set below the standard level.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before
performing auto EQ. Also set the cut-off fre-
quency for the built-in LPF of an active sub-
woofer to the highest frequency.

! The distance has been calculated by com-

puter to be the optimum delay to give accu-
rate results for the circumstances, so
please continue to use this value.
— The reflected sound within the car is

strong and delays occur.

— The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-

nal amps delay the lower sounds.

! Auto EQ changes the audio settings as fol-

lows:
— The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to Using fader/
balance adjustment on page 47.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to page 47.)

— The front, center and rear speakers will

automatically be adjusted to a high
pass filter setting.

! Previous settings for auto EQ will be over-

written.

Performing auto EQ

1

Stop the car in a place that is quiet,

close all the doors, windows and sun roof,
and then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may
prevent correct auto EQ.

2

Fix the optional microphone in the cen-

ter of the headrest of the driver

’s seat, fa-

cing forward.
The auto EQ may differ depending on where
you place the microphone. If desired, place
the microphone on the front passenger seat to
carry out auto EQ.

3

Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car

’s air conditioner or heater is turned

on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air
conditioner or heater may prevent correct auto
EQ.

4

Display the system menu.

Refer to Introduction of menu operations on
page 46.
