Section 04 Available accessories Using the equalizer The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to match car interior acoustic characteristics as desired. Recalling equalizer curves There are seven stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list of the equalizer curves: Display POWERFUL NATURAL VOCAL FLAT CUSTOM1 CUSTOM2 SUPER BASS Equalizer curve Powerful Natural Vocal Flat Custom 1 Custom 2 Super bass ! CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 are adjusted equalizer curves. ! When FLAT is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between FLAT and a set equalizer curve. % On the normal display, touch EQ to select the equalizer. Touch EQ repeatedly to switch between the following equalizers: POWERFUL-NATURAL-VOCAL-FLAT- CUSTOM1-CUSTOM2-SUPER BASS # If SFC instead of EQ appears on the normal display, touch SFC and hold to switch to equalizer function. About SFC, refer to Using the sound field control on page 77. Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen- ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band. ! A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre- ated for each source. ! A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com- mon to all sources. ! The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn't easy. We recommend reproducing a 2ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers except for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and adjusting the center speaker output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers. 1 Touch NEXT twice on the DSP function menu. 2 Touch PARAMETRIC EQ. 3 Touch a or b to select the desired item.
