SOUND ADJUSTMENTS
Turning on/off the BBE function
The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,
broadcasts, etc.
ENGLISH
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low , mid and high frequencies b y adding
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.
In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be
less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined
with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed
“live” presence.
BBE
Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.

To adjust the volume increase rate
If you find Audio Cruise increase (or decrease) the volume either too m uch or too little as the
driving speed changes. You can adjust the increase rate by changing the boost level.
To change it, follow the procedure below.
1. Press CRUISE to select either “CRUISE 1” or “CRUISE 2.”
2. Press and hold CRUISE until the maximum boost level appears on the display.
Ex. When you have selected “CRUISE 2”
3. Turn the control dial, while the maximum boost level is shown on the display, to change
the boost level (among 01 to 15) as you want.
• To increase the volume increase rate, turn it clockwise.
• To decrease the volume increase rate, turn it counterclockwise.
If Audio Cruise does not function correctly
You may need to store the idling speed into memory to make Audio Cruise function correctly .
NOTICE that a number of factors, such as electric power steering, wipers, power windows,
air conditioner, etc. do generate noises and, as a result, may cause Audio Cruise not to
function correctly. If this is the main cause of malfunction, connect the memory backup lead
(yellow lead) directly to the car battery to prevent these noises from affecting Audio Cruise.
ENGLISH
1. Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Press CRUISE to select either “CRUISE 1” or “CRUISE 2.”
3. Press and hold CRUISE and SEL for more than 2 seconds to store the idling speed into
memory.
Ex. When you have selected “CRUISE 2”
When the setting is complete, the unit automatically checks to see if Audio Cruise functions
correctly with this new idling setting. If it does not function correctly, Audio Cruise is canceled
automatically and the idling setting becomes invalid.
• If this happens, see the NOTICE above.

How to handle CDs
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the CD out,
holding it by the edges.

New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges . If such a CD is used, this unit
may reject the CD.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the unit turned
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and
