Using the equalizer
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to
match car interior acoustic characteristics as
desired.
Recalling equalizer curves
There are six stored equalizer curves which you
can easily recall at any time. Here is a list of the
equalizer curves:
Display Equalizer curve
SPR-BASS Super bass
POWERFUL Powerful
NATURAL Natural
VOCAL Vocal
CUSTOM Custom
EQ FLAT Flat
• CUSTOM is an adjusted equalizer curve that
you create.
• When EQ FLAT is selected no supplement or
correction is made to the sound. This is useful
to check the effect of the equalizer curves by
switching alternatively between EQ FLAT and a
set equalizer curve.
Press EQ to select the equalizer.
• If the equalizer has been previously set to an
equalizer curve other than POWERFUL then the
title of that previously selected equalizer curve
will be displayed, such as SPR-BASS,
NATURAL, VOCAL, CUSTOM, or EQ FLAT.
Adjusting equalizer curves
You can adjust the currently selected equalizer
curve setting as desired. Adjusted equalizer
curve settings are memorized in CUSTOM.
1 Press AUDIO
to select the equalizer mode.
Press
AUDIO until EQ-L/EQ-M/EQ-H appears in
the display.
2 Select the band you want to adjust with
the 2/3.
EQ-L (low) —EQ-M (mid) —EQ-H (high)
3 Press 5 or ∞ to adjust the equalizer curve.
Each press of 5 or ∞ increases or decreases
the equalizer curve respectively.
• +6 – –6 is displayed as the equalizer curve is
increased or decreased.
• The actual range of the adjustments are different depending on which equalizer curve is
selected.
Note
• If you make adjustments when a curve other
than CUSTOM is selected, the newly adjusted
curve will replace the previous curve. Then a
new curve with CUSTOM appears on the display while selecting the equalizer curve.
Adjusting loudness
Loudness compensates for deficiencies in the
low- and high-sound ranges at low volume.
1 Press AUDIO to select LOUD.
Press AUDIO until LOUD appears in the display.
En

Audio Adjustments
2 Select LOUD
on or off with 5/∞.
3 Select the desired level with 2/3.
LOW (low) —MID (mid) —HI (high)
Note
• You can also switch LOUD on or off by pressing the LOUDNESS.
Front image enhancer (FIE)
The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a
simple method of enhancing front imaging by
cutting mid- and high-range frequency output
from the rear speakers, limiting their output to
low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut.
Precaution
• When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the
rear speakers output sound of all frequencies,
not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume
before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden
increase in volume.
1 Press AUDIO to select FIE.
Press AUDIO until FIE appears in the display.
2 Select FIE on or off with 5/∞.
3 Select the desired frequency with 2/3.
100—160—250 (Hz)
Notes
• After switching the F.I.E. function ON, select
the Fader/Balance mode in the Audio Menu,
and adjust front and rear speaker volume
levels until they are balanced.
• Switch the F.I.E. function OFF when using a 2speaker system.
Adjusting source levels
SLA (Source level adjustment) lets you adjust
the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between
sources.
• Settings are based on the volume level of the
FM tuner, which remains unchanged.
1 Compare the FM tuner volume level with
the level of the source you wish to adjust.
2 Press AUDIO to select SLA.
Press AUDIO until SLA appears in the display.
3 Press 5 or ∞ to adjust the source volume.
Each press of 5 or ∞ increases or decreases
the source volume.
• SLA +4 – SLA –4 is displayed as the source
volume is increased or decreased.
Notes
• Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is
not possible to apply source level adjustments
to the FM tuner.
• The AM tuner volume level can also be
adjusted with source level adjustments.

player to not operate properly. If you think that
condensation is a problem turn off the CD
player for an hour or so to allow the CD player
to dry out and wipe any damp discs with a soft
cloth to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.
CD-R/CD-RW discs
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)/CD-RW (CDRewritable) discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW
units other than a music CD recorder may not
play properly on this CD player.
• Music CD-R/CD-RW discs, even recorded on a
music CD recorder, may not play properly on
this CD player due to differing disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc. Dirt or
condensation on the lens inside this unit may
also prevent playback.
