Using The Equalizer; Adjusting Equalizer Curves - Pioneer AVIC-D2 Operation Manual

Using the equalizer

The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to
match vehicle interior acoustic characteristics as
desired.
Recalling equalizer curves
There are six stored equalizer curves which you
can easily switch. Here is a list of the equalizer
curves:
Equalizer curve

POWERFUL is a curve in which low-pitched and
high-pitched sounds are boosted.

pitched sounds are slightly boosted.
VOCAL
VOCAL is a curve in which the midrange, which is
the human vocal range, is boosted.

CUSTOM is an adjusted equalizer curve that you
create.
FLAT
FLAT is a flat curve in which nothing is boosted.

SUPERBASS is a curve in which only low-pitched
sound is boosted.

Touch "EQ" in the AUDIO menu.
Touch the "EQ" button repeatedly to switch
between the following equalizers:
POWERFUL — NATURAL — VOCAL —
CUSTOM — FLAT — SUPERBASS
❒ A separate CUSTOM curve can be cre-
ated for each source. If you make adjust-
ments, the equalizer curve settings will be
memorized in CUSTOM.
❒ 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.
