Equalizer Curve Fine Adjustment

You can adjust the center frequency and the Q factor (curve characteristics) of each currently selected curve band (EQ-LOW/MID/HIGH). Adjusted equalizer curve settings are memorized in “CUSTOM”.

1. Press the AUDIO button for 2 or more seconds to select Equalizer Curve Fine Adjustment.

Note:

• If you make adjustments when a curve other than “CUSTOM” is selected, the newly adjusted curve

will replace the previous adjusted curve. Then a new curve with “CUSTOM” appears on the display while selecting the equalizer curve. (Refer to page 24.)

4. Select the desired Q factor with the 5/∞ buttons.

2N += 1N += 1W += 2W

3. Select the desired frequency with the 2/3 buttons.

LOW: 40 += 80 += 100 += 160 (Hz) MID: 200 +=

Loudness Adjustment (LOUD)

The Loudness function compensates for deficiencies in the low and high sound ranges at low volume. You can select a desired Loudness level.

1. Press the AUDIO button and select the Loudness mode (LOUD) in the Audio Menu.

Front Image Enhancer Function (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.

1. Press the AUDIO button and select the F.I.E. mode (FIE) in the Audio Menu.

Note:

• 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 2-speaker system.

3. Select the desired frequency with the 2/3 buttons.

100 += 160 += 250 (Hz)

“FIE”

2. Switch the F.I.E. function ON/OFF with the 5/∞ buttons.

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.

3. Select the desired level with the 2/3 buttons.

LOW += MID += HI

Audio Adjustment

Source Level Adjustment (SLA)

The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume when switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume, which remains unchanged. (Since the FM volume is the control, SLA is not possible in the FM modes.) The AM, CD, External Unit and AUX levels can all be adjusted. The Built-in CD player and Multi-CD player are set to the same volume adjustment setting automatically.

1. Compare the FM volume with the volume of the other source. (e.g. Built-in CD player)

2. Press the AUDIO button and select the SLA mode (SLA) in the Audio Menu.

3. Increase or decrease the level with the 5/∞ buttons.

The display shows “+4” – “–4”.
