Audio Adjustments

Operation modes
This unit features two operation modes: the 3way network mode (NW) and the standard mode (STD). You can switch between modes as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to the standard mode (STD). (Refer to Switching the DSP setting mode on page 6.) ! The 3-way network mode (NW) lets you create a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker system with separate speakers for reproduction of high, middle and low frequencies (bands), each driven by a dedicated power amp. The 3-way network mode provides network and time alignment functions, two functions essential for a multiamp, multi-speaker system, to enable precise control over settings for each frequency range. ! The standard mode (STD) lets you create a 4-speaker system with front and rear speakers, or a 6-speaker system with front and rear speakers and subwoofers.

Important When no power is supplied to this unit because of a change of the car battery or for some similar reason, the microcomputer of this unit is returned to its initial condition. If this happens, all memorized adjusted audio settings are erased. When you have completed audio setting adjustment, be sure to record the settings shown on page 69.

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 a drain on battery power. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.
Before operating the auto TA and EQ function
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and autoequalizing)
The auto-time alignment is automatically adjusted for the distance between each speaker and the listening position. The auto-equalizer automatically measures the car interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates the auto-equalizer curve based on that information.
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 sure to check the conditions thoroughly before carrying out auto TA and EQ. When speakers are incorrectly connected. (e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to a subwoofer output.) When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the
! 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 50.) ! 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 45.) The graphic equalizer curve switches to FLAT. (Refer to page 51.) 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.
