Operating this unit
• F/R 0 is the proper setting when only two speakers are used.

3. Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to adjust left/right speaker balance.

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 Equalizer curve
Powerful Powerful
Natural Natural
Vocal Vocal
Custom1 Custom 1
Custom2 Custom 2
Flat Flat
S.Bass Super bass
• Custom1 and Custom2 are adjusted equalizer curves that you create. Adjustments
can be made with a 7-band graphic equalizer.
• 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.
* Press EQ to select the equalizer.
Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the following equalizers:
Powerful – Natural – Vocal – Custom1 – Custom2 – Flat – S.Bass
Adjusting equalizer curves
The factory supplied equalizer curves, with the exception of Flat, can be adjusted to a
fine degree (nuance control).
1. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select the graphic equalizer adjustment.
Powerful appears in the display.
If the equalizer curve has been previously selected, the curve of that previously
selected will be displayed instead of Powerful.
2. Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select an equalizer curve.
Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, equalizer curves are selected in
the following order:
Powerful – Natural – Vocal – Custom1 – Custom2 – Flat – S.Bass
3. Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to adjust the equalizer curve.
Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed up or down, the equalizer curve increases or
decreases respectively.
+6 to –4 (or –6) is displayed as the equalizer curve is increased or decreased.
• The actual range of the adjustments are different depending on which equalizer
curve is selected.
• The equalizer curve with all frequencies set to 0 cannot be adjusted.
Adjusting 7-band graphic equalizer
For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the level of each band.
• A separate Custom1 curve can be created for each source. (The built-in CD player
and the multi-CD player are set to the same equalizer adjustment setting
automatically.) If you make adjustments when a curve other than Custom2 is
selected, the equalizer curve settings will be memorized in Custom1.
• A Custom2 curve can be created common to all sources. If you make adjustments
when the Custom2 curve is selected, the Custom2 curve will be updated.
1. Recall the equalizer curve you want to adjust.
See "Recalling equalizer curves" on this page.
2. Use MULTI-CONTROL to select 7-band graphic equalizer adjustment.
Frequency and the level (e.g., 50Hz +4) appears in the display.
3. Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select the equalizer band to adjust.
Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, equalizer bands are selected in
the following order:
50Hz – 125Hz – 315Hz – 800Hz – 2kHz – 5kHz – 12.5kHz
