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.

Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.

ENGLISH

speed of your car by detecting the alternator’s generating frequency (Audio Cruise). If you want to use this function, f ollow the procedures belo w . (When shipped from the f actory, this mode is set to “OFF.”)

Select the proper cruise mode for your car.

CRUISE

• Each time you press the button, the Audio Cr uise mode changes as follows.

CRUISE 1 CRUISE 2

• CRUISE 1: Select this if your car is relatively quiet.

• CRUISE 2: Select this if your car is relatively loud. The volume increase rate is twice as much as that of the CRUISE 1 setting.

• OFF: Cancels Audio Cruise.

When this function is turned on (the CRUISE indicator lights up on the display), the proper volume level is automatically selected among the 3 possible levels according to the driving speed, and the selected level is shown on the display.

When the driving speed increases.

OFF

When the driving speed decreases.

Page 27

To adjust the volume increase rate

If you find Audio Cruise increase (or decrease) the v olume either too much 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.”

• 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 ma y 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.

• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

To play new CDs

New CDs may hav e 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.
