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
! Custom1 and Custom2 are adjusted equal-
izer 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 se-
lect the equalizer.
Touch EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol-
lowing equalizers:
Powerful—Natural—Vocal—Flat—Custom1

# 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

Using the sound field control
The SFC function creates the sensation of a
live performance.
! One of the greatest advantages to hear
music in live is the original acoustic sound
that is echoed or reflected against the
stage surroundings. The SFC circuitry en-
ables to reproduce the live performing
sound in car environment by programming
the direct sound, early reflections, and late
reflections effects and characterizing the
sound from CD, DVD or other medium so it
becomes closer to the live acoustic sound.
1 On the normal display, touch EQ and
hold to switch to SFC function.
Touch EQ and hold until Sound Field Control
appears in the display.
# To switch to equalizer function, touch EQ and
hold again.
2 Touch SFC to select the desired SFC
mode.
Touch SFC repeatedly to switch between the
following modes:
MUSICAL (musical)—DRAMA (drama)—
ACTION (action)—JAZZ (jazz)—HALL (hall)—
CLUB (club)—OFF (off)
Note
If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-
channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC
effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel
audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we
recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the
other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are
intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ,
HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby
Pro Logic II off.
