–This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED

radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed

to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should

be installed and operated keeping t he radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body

(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

–This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or

transmitter.
–Alteration o r modifications c arried out without appropriate authori zation may invalidate the user’s

right to operate the equipment.
–NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most ou t of your equipment by playing it at a sa fe level—a level that lets the s ound come
through clearl y without annoying blaring or distortion and, most impo rtantly, without affectin g your
sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.
Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

▶ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

– Set your volume control at a low setting.
– Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without

distortion.

– Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it

there.

▶BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

– Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
– Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

functions described above while driving, they will become disabled until you stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and (1) apply the parking brak e, (2) release the parking brake, and
then (3) apply the parking brake again. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down
before releasing the parking brake.

in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

▶Before operating the Auto EQ function

• Perform Auto EQ in a quiet place with the vehicle engine and air conditioning

switched off. Also, cut the power of car phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or
remove them in advance. Surrounding sounds may prevent correct measurement of
the vehicle’s acoustics.

• Be sure to use the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately). Using

other microphones may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of
the vehicle’s acoustics.

• To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers must be connected.

• When this product is connected to a power amp with input level control, Auto EQ may

be impossible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.

• When this product is connected to a power amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn the

LPF off before performing Auto EQ. Also, set the cutoff frequ ency for the built-in LPF of
an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.

• The distance has been calculated by a computer to provide optimum delay to ensure

accurate results. Do not change this value.

– The reflected sound within the vehicle is strong and delay occurs.
– The LPF on active subwoo fers or external amps delay the lower sounds.

• If an error occurs during measurement, check the following before measuring the

vehicle’s acoustics.

– Front speakers (left /right)
– Rear speakers (left/right)
–Noise
– Microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately)
–Low battery

▶Performing Auto EQ

Do not turn off the engine while the measurement is in progress.

• Auto EQ changes the audio settings as follows:

– The fader/balance settings return to the center position (page 94).

• Previous settings for Auto EQ will be overwritten.

1

Stop the vehicle in a quiet place, close all doors, windows, and sun roof, and then

turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct Auto EQ.

If driving restrictions are detected during measurement, the measurement is canceled.
