musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting 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.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged ex
osure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection

Introduction of DSP adjustments
By carrying out the following settings/adjust­ments in the order shown, you can create a fi­nely-tuned sound field effortlessly.
1 Setting the speaker setting 2 Using the position selector 3 Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-
equalizing)
4 Adjusting the time alignment 5 Adjusting the speaker output levels using a
test tone
6 Selecting a cross-over frequency 7 Adjusting the speaker output levels 8 Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer
1 DSP display
Shows the DSP function names.
% Touch A.MENU and then touch DSP to display the DSP function names.
The DSP function names are displayed and operable ones are highlighted.
# When A.MENU is not displayed, you can dis- play it by touching the screen. # You can also display MENU by clicking the joystick. # To go to the next group of function names, touch NEXT. # To return to the previous group of function names, touch PREV. # When playing discs recorded with more than 96 kHz sampling frequency, you cannot use audio
functions. Also, equalizer curve setting, POSITION, AUTO EQ and AUTO TA will be can­celled. # When playing discs recorded with more than 96 kHz sampling frequency, audio is outputted from front speaker only. # When selecting the FM tuner as the source, you cannot switch to SLA. # When playing other than the DVD disc, you cannot switch to D.R.C. # When neither FRONT-L nor FRONT-R is se- lected in POSITION, you cannot switch to TIME ALIGNMENT.
# To return to the previous display, touch BACK. # To return to the display of each source, touch
ESC.
Note
If you do not operate the DSP function within about 30 seconds, the display is automatically re­turned to the source display.
Using the sound field control
The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance. ! The acoustics of different performance en-
vironments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or re­verberations. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous­tics of various performance settings.
1 Press EQ and hold to switch to SFC function.
Press EQ and hold until SFC appears in the display.

2 Press EQ to select the desired SFC mode.
Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol­lowing mode:
MUSICAL (musical)DRAMA (drama)ACTION (action)JAZZ (jazz)HALL (hall)CLUB (club)OFF (off)
Note
If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2­channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic B on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ, HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic B off.
Using the position selector
One way to assure a more natural sound is to accurately position the stereo image, putting you right in the center of the sound field. The position selector function lets you automati­cally adjust the speaker output levels and in­serts a delay time to match the number and position of occupied seats. When used in con­junction with the SFC, the feature will make the sound image more natural and offer a pa­noramic sound that envelops you.
1 Touch A.MENU and DSP and then touch POSITION.
2 Touch c/d/a/b to select a listening po­sition.
Touch one of these, c/d/a/b, to select a lis­tening position as listed in the table.
Key Display Position
c FRONT-L Front seat left
d FRONT-R Front seat right
a FRONT Front seats
b ALL All seats
# To cancel the selected listening position, touch the same key again.
Note
When you make adjustments for listening posi­tion, the speakers are automatically set for appro­priate output levels. You can tailor them if you want as discussed under the heading of Adjust-
ing the speaker output levels using a test tone or Adjusting the speaker output levels.
Using balance adjustment
You can select a fader/balance setting that provides an ideal listening environment in all occupied seats.
1 Touch A.MENU and DSP and then touch FADER/BALANCE.
2 Touch a or b to adjust front/rear speaker balance.
Each time you touch a or b it moves the front/rear speaker balance towards the front or the rear. FRONT:25 REAR:25 is displayed as the front/ rear speaker balance moves from front to rear.
# FR:00 is the proper setting when only two speakers are used.
3 Touch c or d to adjust left/right speak­er balance.
Each time you touch c or d it moves the left/ right speaker balance towards the left or the right.

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 FM tuner volume
level, which remains unchanged.
1 Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you wish to ad­just.
2 Touch A.MENU and DSP and then touch SLA.
3 Touch a or b to adjust the source vo­lume.
Each time you touch a or b it increases or de­creases the source volume. SLA +4 SLA 4 is displayed as the source vo­lume is increased or decreased.
Notes
! The AM tuner volume level can also be ad-
justed with source level adjustments.
! Video CD, CD and MP3/WMA are set to the
same source level adjustment volume auto­matically.
! DVD and the optional DVD player are set to
the same source level adjustment volume automatically.
! External unit 1 and external unit 2 are set to
the same source level adjustment volume automatically.
! AUX (auxiliary input) and AV (video input) are
set to the same source level adjustment vo­lume automatically.
Using the dynamic range control
The dynamic range refers to the difference be­tween the largest and softest sounds. The dy­namic range control compresses this difference so that you can clearly hear sounds even at low volume levels. ! The dynamic range control is effective only
on Dolby Digital sounds.
! When playing other than the DVD disc, you
cannot switch to D.R.C.
1 Touch A.MENU and DSP and then touch D.R.C.
2 Touch a to turn the dynamic range con­trol on.
# To turn dynamic range control off, touch b.
Using the down-mix function
This function cannot be operated when DVH­P7000, DVH-P5000MP or AVH-P6500DVD is con­nected to this unit.
The down-mix function allows you to play back multi-channel audio in 2 channels.

Setting the speaker setting
You need to make with/without (or yes/no) and size (bass reproducing capacity) selection/ad­justments depending on the installed speak­ers. The size needs to be set to LARGE (large) if the speaker is capable of reproducing sounds of about 100 Hz or below. Otherwise select SMALL (small). ! Low frequency range is not output if the
subwoofer is set to OFF and the front and rear speakers set to SMALL or OFF.
! It is imperative that non-installed speakers
be set to OFF.

Correcting the subwoofers phase
If trying to boost the bass output of the sub­woofer doesnt do much or rather makes you feel that the bass gets more murky, this may indicate that the subwoofers output and bass content you hear over other speakers cancel each other out. To remove this problem, try changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.
