If a microphone for acoustical measurement
is not placed in an appropriate location, the
measurement tone may become loud and
measurement may take a long time, resulting
in battery drainage. Be sure to place the mi-
crophone in the specified location.
Before operating the Auto EQ
function
!
Perform Auto EQ in as quiet a place as pos-
sible, with the vehicle engine and air condi-
tioning switched off. Also, cut power to car
phones or mobile phones in the vehicle, or
remove them from the vehicle before per-
forming Auto EQ. Sounds other than the
measurement tone (surrounding sounds,
engine sound, telephones ringing, etc.)
may prevent correct measurement of the
vehicle
’
s acoustics.
!
Be sure to perform Auto EQ using the mi-
crophone for acoustical measurement.
Using another microphone may prevent
measurement, or result in incorrect mea-
surement of the vehicle
’
s acoustics.
!
To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers
must be connected.
!
When this product is connected to a power
amp with input level control, Auto EQ may
be impossible if the power amp
’
s input
level is set below the standard level.
!
When this product is connected to a power
amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn the
LPF off before performing Auto EQ. Also,
set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF
of an active subwoofer to the highest fre-
quency.
!
The distance has been calculated by a
computer to provide optimum delay to en-
sure accurate results. Do not change this
value.
—
The reflected sound within the vehicle is
strong and delays occur.
—
The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-
nal amps delay the lower sounds.
!
If an error occurs during measurement, a
message appears and measurement is
cancelled. Check the following before mea-
suring the vehicle
’
s acoustics.
