Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and center equalizer curves separately by selecting a center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band. ! A separate Custom1 curve can be created

for each source.

! A Custom2 curve can be created common

to all sources.

! The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance right isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers except for the center, and then reproducing a

5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and adjusting the center speaker output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.

% Touch PARAMETRIC EQ on the DSP function menu.

Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve created by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and

EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)

on this page). You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

1 Touch AUTO EQ on the DSP function menu.

# You cannot use this function if auto TA and EQ has not been carried out.

2 Touch ON to turn the auto-equalizer on.

# To turn auto-equalizer off, touch OFF.

Auto TA an d EQ (auto-time alignment and autoequalizing)

Only when the multi-channel processor (e.g., DEQ-P7650/DEQ-P6600) is connected to this unit, you can operate this function.

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.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

! Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-

ing 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 speaker’s 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

! 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 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 amp’s 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 vehi-

cle 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 76.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to page 82.)

— It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center and rear speaker.

! If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-

vious setting of this already exists, the setting will be replaced.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ

1 Stop the car in a place that is as quiet as possible, close all doors, windows and the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto TA and EQ.

2 Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately).

The auto TA and EQ may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto TA and EQ.

3 Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car’s air conditioner or heater is turned on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air conditioner or heater may prevent correct auto TA and EQ.

Adjusting the screen

Changing the wide screen mode

You can select a desired mode for enlarging a 4:3 picture to a 16:9 one.

% Press WIDE to select the desired setting.

Press WIDE repeatedly to switch between the following settings:

FULL (full)—JUST (just)—CINEMA (cinema)— ZOOM (zoom)—NORMAL (normal)

FULL (full)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, giving you a 4:3 TV picture (normal picture) without any omissions.

JUST (just)

The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without sensing any disparity even on a wide screen.

CINEMA (cinema)

The picture is enlarged by the same proportion as FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between FULL and ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture) where captions lie outside.

ZOOM (zoom)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture).

NORMAL (normal)

A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions are the same as that of the normal picture.
