Parametric Equalizer Adjustments The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies. The parametric equalizer's center frequency can be tuned to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious audiophiles. Setting item: P-EQ 1 Select L+R or L/R by touching [ ] or [ ] of P-EQ. L+R: L/R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right channels. Different adjustment values can be set for the left and right channels. When graphic EQ is adjusted, this setting will be turned off. 2 Touch [ ] of P-EQ. The P-EQ list screen appears. 3 Touch [ ] of the desired speaker (channel). The P-EQ adjustment screen appears. 4 Adjust the P-EQ to your preference. Selecting the Band Touch [ ] or [ ] of BAND to select the desired band. Adjusting the Frequency Touch [ ] or [ ] of FREQ. to adjust the frequency of the selected band. Adjusting the Level Touch [ ] or [ ] of LEVEL to adjust the level of the selected band. Setting the Bandwidth Touch [ ] or [ ] of Q to select the bandwidth. • When the speaker is set to the "OFF" mode, the parametric equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to "Setting the Speakers" (page 48). • It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7 steps. • Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker's playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and damage the speakers. • When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ becomes ineffective. Setting the Speakers Setting item: SPEAKER SELECT Set the connected speaker by touching the respective [ ] or [ ] button. FRONT1: FRONT2: REAR: CENTER: SUBW.: OFF/FULL (Full Range)/TW (Tweeter) OFF/ON OFF/ON OFF/ON OFF/MONO/STEREO • Set the speaker which is not connected to OFF. • Settings above can be carried out even when the speaker is set to OFF in "Speaker Setup" (page 49). • To use the subwoofer in MONO with PXA-H700 or PXA-H701 connected, connect the subwoofer to the subwoofer output terminal of PXA-H700 or PXA-H701. Setting of Dolby Digital Setting item: MULTI CH SETUP Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM) In most installations, the center speaker must be placed directly between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the center channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an acoustic image simulating a center speaker directly in front of each listener. Adjusting the center width in PL II MUSIC (see "Using the Pro Logic II Mode" on page 45), makes this function ineffective. • Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched. Touch [ ] or [ ] of BI-PHANTOM to adjust the level. The level can be adjusted within the range of -5 to +5. The higher the level, the more the position of the center speaker is shifted to the sides. The BI-PHANTOM function is turned off by touching [OFF]. • This adjustment is effective when the setting of the center speaker to SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings. • This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set CENTER to OFF in "Setting the Speakers" (page 48). Mixing bass sound to the rear channel (REAR MIX) This function mixes the front channel audio signals to the audio signals output from the rear speakers, improving the sound in the vehicle's rear seat. • Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched. Touch [ ] or [ ] of REAR MIX to adjust the level. The level can adjusted in five steps: -6, -3, 0, +3 and +6. The higher the level, the more bass is output from the rear speakers. (The effect differs according to the software (DVD, etc.).) The REAR MIX function is turned off by touching [OFF]. • This adjustment is ineffective when the rear speaker setup setting is set to "OFF". • For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker regardless of the REAR FILL and REAR MIX setting. 48-EN
