Auto EQ (auto-equalizing)
The auto-equalizer automatically measures the cars interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on that information.
This unit features a function that automatically switches to the rear view camera video (V IN)
! 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 frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency. ! The distance has been calculated by computer to be the optimum delay to give accurate 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 external amps delay the lower sounds. ! Auto EQ changes the audio settings as follows: The fader/balance settings return to the center position. (Refer to Using fader/ balance adjustment on page 55.) The equalizer curve switches to Flat. (Refer to page 55.) The front, center and rear speakers will automatically be adjusted to a high pass filter setting. ! Previous settings for auto EQ will be overwritten.
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.
! Thoroughly check the conditions before performing auto 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 connected as a subwoofer output.) A speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speakers maximum input power capability. ! 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.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)
Auto-time alignment automatically adjusts the time alignment according to the distance between the listening position and each speaker. The auto-equalizer automatically measures the cars interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on that information.
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.
! Thoroughly check the conditions before performing 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 connected as a subwoofer output.) A speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speakers maximum input power capability.
! 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.
The fader/balance settings return to the center position. (Refer to page 49.) The equalizer curve switches to Flat. (Refer to page 46.) The front, center and rear speakers will automatically be adjusted to a high pass filter setting. ! Pervious settings for auto TA and EQ will be overwritten.
Before operating the auto TA and EQ function
! Perform auto TA and EQ in a quiet place, with both the car engine and air conditioning switched off. Also turn off any car phones or portable telephones in the car, or remove them from the car. Sounds other than the measurement tone (such as surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing) may prevent correct measurement of the cars interior acoustic characteristics. ! Be sure to perform auto TA and EQ using the optional microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the cars interior acoustic characteristics. ! In order to perform auto TA and EQ, the front speaker must be connected. ! When this unit is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto TA and EQ may not be possible if the power amps 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 TA and EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency. ! The time alignment value resulting from auto TA and EQ has been calculated by a computer and is the optimum delay time that will give accurate results. Be sure to use the resulting value although it may differ from the actual distance when: The reflected sound within the car is strong and delays occur. The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds. ! Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings as follows:

! The TV aspect ratio cannot be changed for some discs. For details, refer to the discs instructions.
