Just connect these to the front and rear inputs on the DQDX and switch the “Sub to Front” jumper to the ON position. There is a more detailed of the jumpers located under the cover in the section titled “Under The Cover”... - Page 3 ACR-3 remote knob down for about four seconds. This will switch the outputs of the DQDX from music to Pink Noise. When you are done setting up the Equalizer you can just press and hold the remote again for 4 seconds and it will turn the Pink Noise output off.
- Page 4 RCA Line Level outputs, connect them to the three sets of corresponding inputs on your DQDX. If the source unit only has one output, the Front to Sub circuitry in your DQDX selectively routes the Front input channels to the subwoofer channels when you have the jumper in the appropriate position (see the next section on “Under The Cover”...
- Page 5 ➐ ➑ ➒ 3 Equalization Controls - To custom tune your system, the DQDX gives you dedicated equalization controls for the Front, Rear, and Subwoofer outputs. See the section on Equalization Optimization on page 10 for a more detailed description on how to set these adjustments for optimum performance.
- Page 6 4 seconds, the outputs of the DQDX will turn from music to Pink Noise. This will assist in the proper setting of the EQ and Delay. When the DQDX is in Normal mode, pressing the remote momentarily will defeat all processing on the DQDX (Equalizer and Signal Delay).

- Page 10 Once you have everything where you want it you are done! Easy right? Now just go back to the Signal Delay knob on the cover of the DQDX and turn it counter clockwise back to Normal mode (the blue light will come on) and you are ready to move to the next step of set-up.
- Page 11 The key in this area is to have enough speak- ers and power to produce the amount of bass you desire but don’t use the controls on the DQDX to try and force your speakers to produce sounds they can’t. Too much bass boost creates a condition called “speakerus explodus”, which is not pretty to hear or watch.
- Page 12 Many autosound systems start a gradual decline in this area which is why speaker placement is very important. The DQDX only gives you a few controls in this area because too much boosting can really make a speaker sound un-natural.
- Page 13 If you are hearing music, go back to step #2… If you are hearing voices, please go see a doctor! 4 Starting with the DQDX input level controls, adjust the control knob clockwise until the Input Maximized LED just begins to flicker. Do not continue to turn past this point.
