Before operating the auto TA and EQ function
! Carry out auto TA and EQ in as quiet a place as possible, with the car engine and air conditioning switched off. Also cut power to car phones or portable telephones in the car, or remove them from the car before carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct measurement of the car interior acoustic characteristics. ! Be sure to carry out auto TA and EQ using the supplied microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the car interior acoustic characteristics. ! When front speaker is not connected, auto TA and EQ cannot be carried out. ! When muting the front speaker units, auto TA and EQ cannot be carried out. (Refer to page 62.)
To prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA and EQ while driving. When this function measures the car interior acoustic characteristics to create an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.
! Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the following conditions may damage the speakers. Be
! When this unit is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto TA and EQ may not be possible if you lower power amp input level. Set the power amps input level to the standard position. ! When this unit is connected to a power amp with an LPF, turn off the LPF on the power amp before carrying out auto TA and EQ. In addition, the cut-off frequency for built-in LPF of an active subwoofer should be set to the highest frequency. ! The time alignment value calculated by auto TA and EQ may differ from the actual distance in the following circumstances. However, 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. When the reflected sound within a vehicle is strong and delays occur. When delays occur for low sounds due to the influence of the LPF on active subwoofers or external amps. ! Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings as below: The fader/balance settings return to the center position. (Refer to page 57.) The graphic equalizer curve switches to Flat. (Refer to page 65.) When a subwoofer is connected to this unit, it will be adjusted automatically to both subwoofer output and high pass filter setting for rear speaker. ! If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a previous setting of this already exists, the setting will be replaced. ! When connecting tweeters, please confirm the tweeters usable frequency range. When you set the cut-off frequency, set higher than the lowest usable frequency of the tweeter. ! Auto TA uses higher range than 10 kHz for measurement. Therefore, using the tweeter that cannot reproduce 10 kHz frequency

Note You can match the clock to a time signal by pressing MULTI-CONTROL. ! If 00 to 29, the minutes are rounded down. (e.g., 10:18 becomes 10:00.) ! If 30 to 59, the minutes are rounded up. (e.g., 10:36 becomes 11:00.)
