Using the equalizer

The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization
to match car interior acoustic characteristics
as desired.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are six stored equalizer curves which
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equalizer curves:
Display Equalizer curve
SPR-BASS Super bass
POWERFUL Powerful
NATURAL Natural
VOCAL Vocal
CUSTOM Custom
EQ FLAT Flat
! CUSTOM is an adjusted equalizer curve
that you create.
! A separate CUSTOM curve can be created
for each source. (The built in CD player and
the multi CD player are set to the same
equalizer adjustment setting automati
cally.) If you make adjustments, the equali
zer curve settings will be memorized in
CUSTOM.
! When EQ 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
EQ FLAT and a set equalizer curve.
