Adjusting the equalizer curve automatically (Auto EQ)
By measuring the vehicle’s acoustics, the equalizer curve can be adjusted automatically to suit the vehicle interior.
WARNING
A loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the vehicle’s acoustics. Never perform Auto EQ measurement while driving.
CAUTION
• Thoroughly check the conditions before performing Auto EQ as the speakers may be damaged if this is performed under the following conditions:
- 149 -
– When the speakers are incorrectly connected. (For example, when a rear speaker is connected as a subwoofer output.)
– When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speaker’s maximum input power capability.
• If a microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately) is not placed in the appropriate location, 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
• Perform Auto EQ in a quiet place with the vehicle engine and air conditioning switched off. Also, cut the power of car phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or remove them in advance. Surrounding sounds may prevent correct measurement of the vehicle’s acoustics.
• Be sure to use the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately). Using other microphones may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement 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 cutoff frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.
• The distance has been calculated by a computer to provide optimum delay to ensure accurate results. Do not change this value.
– The reflected sound within the vehicle is strong and delay occurs.
– The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds.
• If an error occurs during measurement, check the following before measuring the vehicle’s acoustics.
– Front speakers (left/right)
– Rear speakers (left/right)
– Noise
– Microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately)
– Low battery
▶ Performing Auto EQ
CAUTION
Do not turn off the engine while the measurement is in progress.
NOTES
• Auto EQ changes the audio settings as follows:
– The fader/balance settings return to the center position (page 146).
• Previous settings for Auto EQ will be overwritten.
1
Stop the vehicle in a quiet place, close all doors, windows, and sun roof, and then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct Auto EQ.
- 150 -
NOTE
If driving restrictions are detected during measurement, the measurement is canceled.
2
Fix the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately) 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 and perform Auto EQ.
3 Disconnect the iPhone or smartphone device.
4 Turn on the ignition switch (ACC ON).
If the vehicle’s air conditioner or heater is turned on, turn it off.
5
Switch the AV source to [Source OFF] (page 75).
6 Press .
