• AMPLIFIER TURN-ON: You will notice that the amplifier turns on before the head unit, and remains on
after the head unit is off. This is normal. The sound output system needs to be energized to play your
door chimes, parking distance control sounds, bluetooth, etc. The amp will turn on from the moment
the doors are unlocked or opened, and remain on from between 30 seconds and as much as 20 minutes
after the car is locked. Again, this is perfectly normal. The idle current on the ARC amp is virtually
zero and will not cause any issues with battery drain.
• SIGNAL SOURCE QUALITY: A poor quality signal will always sound poor no matter how good an audio
system is. If you are using MP3s or home-burned CDs it is critical that you understand the limitations
and impacts of digital compression methods. MP3s at less than 256kbps will have noticeable loss of
quality. Satellite radio is also compressed and will have similar quality issues. Non-commercially
obtained music (especially downloaded via P2P file-sharing) recordings are often re-mixed by third par-
ties and will have been compressed in an unknown and uncontrolled manner. If you want good quality
sound, use only commercial CDs or MP3s compressed at 256kbps or 320kbps.
• FACTORY RADIO SETTINGS: Please note that the settings (Bass, Treble, Fade, Balance, AUX input level,
etc.) are stored on the Key FOB & are specific to the Source (Radio, CD, AUX). You will need to edit and
save the settings for each source and each FOB to have consistent sound.
• PLEASE LISTEN RESPONSIBLY: Your new Integral Audio system is capable of delivering Sound Pressure
Levels that can damage your hearing. It also delivers very clean, low-distortion sound reproduction.
Because distortion sounds bad to your ears, and low-distortion sounds good, you are much more likely
to listen at high levels with your new system. Please exercise caution - we want you to enjoy a lifetime
of great sound!
