48 teristics as desired.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are seven stored equalizer curves that
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a
list of the equalizer curves:
Equalizer curve
S.Bass is a curve in which only low-pitched
sound is boosted.
Powerful is a curve in which low- and high-
pitched sounds are boosted.
Natural is a curve in which low- and high-
pitched sounds are slightly boosted.
Vocal is a curve in which the midrange,
which is the human vocal range, is boosted.
Flat is a flat curve in which nothing is
boosted.
Custom1 is an adjusted equalizer curve
that you create. If you select this curve, the
effect is applied to all AV sources.
Custom2 is an adjusted equalizer curve
that you create. If you select this curve, the
effect is applied to all AV sources.
p The default setting is "Powerful".
p 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.

"S.Bass", "Powerful", "Natural",
"Vocal", or "Flat" is selected, the equal-
izer curve settings will be changed to
"Custom1" mandatorily.
p If you make adjustments when the
"Custom2" curve is selected for example,
the "Custom2" curve will be updated.
p "Custom1" and "Custom2" curves can
be created common to all sources.

Using the auto-adjusted
equalizer
You can set the auto-adjusted equalizer
to suit the vehicle's acoustics. To use this
function, the vehicle's acoustics must be
measured in advance.

cally (Auto EQ) on page 48.

Adjusting the equalizer curve
automatically (Auto EQ)
By measuring the vehicle's acoustics, the
equalizer curve can be adjusted automati-
cally 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 measure-
ment 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 measure-
ment (sold separately) is not placed in an
appropriate location, the measurement
tone may become loud and measure-
ment may take a long time, resulting in
battery drainage. Be sure to place the
microphone in the specified location.
