Auto EQ (auto-equalizing)

The auto-equalizer automatically measures the car ’s interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on that information. ! To perform this function, dedicated micro-

phone (e.g. CD-MC20) is required.

WARNING

As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the car's interior acoustic characteristics, never perform auto EQ while driving.

CAUTION

! Thoroughly check the conditions before per-

forming auto EQ as the speakers may be damaged if these functions are performed when: — The speakers are incorrectly connected.

(For example, when a rear speaker is connected as a subwoofer output.)

— A speaker is connected to a power amp de-

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

Before operating the auto EQ function

! Carry out auto 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 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 EQ using the op-

tional microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the car interior acoustic characteristics.

! In order to perform auto EQ, the front

speaker must be connected.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto EQ may not be possible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before performing auto EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.

! The distance has been calculated by com-

puter to be the optimum delay to give accurate results for the circumstances, so please continue to use this value. — The reflected sound within the car is

strong and delays occur.

— The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-

nal amps delay the lower sounds.

! Auto EQ changes the audio settings as fol-

lows: — The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to page 27.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to page 27.)

— The front, center and rear speakers will

automatically be adjusted to a high pass filter setting.

! Previous settings for auto EQ will be over-

written.

Performing auto EQ

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

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

2 Fix the optional microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward.

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

6 Plug the microphone into the microphone input jack on this unit.

Operating this unit

7 Press M.C. to start auto EQ.

8 When the 10-second countdown starts, get out of the car and close the door within 10 seconds.

# It takes about nine minutes for auto EQ measurement to be completed when all the speakers are connected.

# To stop auto EQ, press M.C.

9 When auto EQ is completed, Complete is displayed.

When the car’s interior acoustic characteristics cannot be measured correctly, an error message will be displayed. (Refer to Under- standing auto EQ error messages on page 40.)

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 EQ.

# If this unit is turned off, press SRC to turn the source on.

4 Display the initial setting menu.

Refer to Initial Settings on page 31.

5 Use M.C. to enter the auto EQ measurement mode.

Turn to change the menu option. Press to select.

Using the display correctly

CAUTION

! If liquid or foreign matter should get inside

this unit, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station. Do not use the unit in this condition because doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or other failure.

! If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell,

or any other abnormal signs from the display, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station. Using this unit in this condition may result in permanent damage to the system.

! Do not disassemble or modify this unit, as

there are high-voltage components inside which may cause electric shock. Be sure to consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station for internal inspection, adjustments, or repairs.

Handling the display

! When the display is subjected to direct sun-

light for a long period of time, it will become very hot resulting in possible damage to the LCD screen. You should avoid exposing the display unit to direct sunlight as much as possible.

! The display should be used within the tem-

perature range of -10°C to +60°C. At temperatures higher or lower than this operating temperature range, the display may not operate normally.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

! Heat from the heater may damage the LCD

screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the display may be shortened.

Page 45

Additional Information

Appendix

! Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)

may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a malfunction.

! When using a cellular phone, keep the an-

tenna away from the display to prevent disruption of the video image by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

LED (light-emitting diode) backlight

! At low temperatures, using the LED back-

light may increase image lag and degrade the image quality due to the characteristics of the LCD screen. Image quality will improve with an increase in temperature.

! To protect the LED backlight, the display

will darken in the following environments:

— In the direct sunlight — Near the heater vent

! The product lifetime of the LED backlight is

more than 10 000 hours. However, it may decrease if used in high temperatures.

! If the LED backlight reaches the end of its

product lifetime, the screen will become dark and the image will no longer be projected. In such cases, please consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.

Fluorescent tube

! A small fluorescent tube is used inside the

display to illuminate the LCD screen. — The fluorescent tube should last for ap-

proximately 10 000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

— When the fluorescent tube reaches the

end of its useful life, the screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.
