A Guided Tour of the DQ-61
1. Speaker-level Inputs:
The DQ-61 has six speaker-level inputs.
These inputs get their signals from the speaker-level outputs
of your factory-installed source unit or amplifier. If your source
unit has front, rear, and subwoofer signals, connect them to the
corresponding inputs on your DQ-61. If your source unit only
has front and rear signals, the AutoMode circuitry of the DQ-61
will route the Channel 2 signals to the Channel 3 (subwoofer)
outputs.
2. Input Level Controls:
The DQ-61 is capable of receiving high
wattage signals from factory installed source units and/or ampli -
fiers. The input level controls allow you to adjust the input signal
levels for maximum audio performance of the DQ-61.
3. Equalization Controls: To custom tune your system, the DQ-61
gives you dedicated equalization controls for the Front, Rear, and
Subwoofer outputs. See the section on Equalization Optimiza -
tion, page 20 for more details on how to set these for optimum
performance.
4. AccuBASS® Settings:
This patent pending circuit compensates for
the bass roll-off characteristics of many factory installed source
units. The Threshold and Level controls let you determine when
the AccuBASS® circuit engages and what level of correction to
apply. See page 26 for more information.
5. Signal Delay Mode:
This allows the user to put the DQ-61 into a
Set-Up mode and adjust the signal delay settings using the dash
control. Turn knob to the right until the Set-Up LED comes on.
When done, turn knob to the left,
Normal
setting for regular
music listening.
