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:

SUPER BASS Super bass
POWERFUL
Powerful
NATURAL Natural
VOCAL

CUSTOM Custom
EQ FLAT Flat
! CUSTOM is an adjusted equalizer curve
that you create. If you make adjustments to
an equalizer curve, the equalizer curve set-
ting 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.
