About Operating

Install the included Sound Manager software for PXA-H800 on a PC.
This provides the user with access to the all functions/features of this
device.
Use the RUX-C800 (sold separately) to have access to many of the
PXA-H800 functions without the need for a PC.
An Ai-NET compatible head unit provides limited functionality through
its controls.
• The RUX-C800 Commander provides access to most of the
PXA-H800 functions.
• To use all Automatic Measurement and Audio Setting/
Adjustment functions, a PC connection is required.

About the Audio Setting

The inherent sound quality inside a vehicle varies widely. Numerous
factors, including media used, vehicle type, speakers, etc., contribute to
this inconsistency. This processor is able to compensate for many of
these factors to optimize the sound automatically.
ImprintEQ
ImprintEQ is a system to obtain the optimum acoustic effect at each
seat based on the automatically measured acoustic data of the
cabin.
RoadEQ
Road EQ (REAL-TIME OPTIMIZED ADAPTIVE DRIVING EQ) is a
function to automatically adjust the EQ properties in accordance with
the road noise while driving.
TCR (Time Correction)/Auto TCR (Automatic Time Correction)
In a vehicle, it is not possible to change the listening positions of the
user. Using Time Correction, an optimized listening position is
created no matter where the user is seated. This automated
adjustment is able to focus the auditory image as well as expand the
sound field making for a more natural sound.
"TCR" digitally delays the sound output from each speaker in order to
align the timing of the sound reaching the listener.

MX Plus
MX (Media Xpander) Plus enhances the vocal and instrumental
sounds for each music source. MX Plus generates harmonics and
compensates high frequency information. This helps improve music
clarity even in a cabin with loud road noise.
Graphic Equalizer
The Graphic EQ divides the audio band into 31 individual bands.
Each band is individually controlled to balance the sound and
enhance detail.
Parametric Equalizer
The Parametric EQ has fewer bands but gives more control over
where the band is located in the audio spectrum. The user can also
control how much overlap with adjacent frequencies (Q). This
provides you with a sound control feature of professional-level, which
allows you to adjust an extremely narrow range in pin-point fashion
without affecting the neighboring sound regions.
X-Over
The X-Over allows this processor to output audio within a specific
band. These specific bands are sent to drive speakers optimized to
reproduce those bands. Use the integrated HPF (High Pass Filter) or
LPF (Low Pass Filter) to create a specified output for each channel.
The Slope and Level of each channel is also adjustable.
5.1 ch theater surround compatible
Get true, 5.1 "Theater Surround." Create a concert hall experience in
your vehicle.
EUPHONY
EUPHONY is an innovative sound field reproduction method which
DiMAGIC has created with the latest acoustic technology based on
the core concept of "enjoying beautiful sound." Taking maximum
advantage of minute differences of sound between the right and left
stereo signals, reverberation, and acoustics, with adaptive filters, the
realistic sensation of sound field is created. The system features
sound quality that is pleasant even after long listening, which is the
optimum sound for long distance driving.
