Adjusting the equaliser curve automatically (Auto EQ)
By measuring the vehicle's acoustics, the equaliser 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:
– 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.
