A convenient way to set up equalizer curves • Store in the base memory, an equalizer curve, set in such a manner that the sound field in the car becomes flat, and adjusted to the frequency characteristics unique to your car. (It is recommended that adjustments be made after the dealer has taken measurements.) After recalling the base memo- ry, ma[...]

28 A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> The flat function <FL T> (Open state) — Common to 31B-GEQ and 3B-PEQ — The adjusted equalizer curve can be temporarily returned to its prior status before making the adjustment (all levels are 0 dB), using the flat function. This is convenient for checking the effects of the adjusted equalizer curve.[...]

The clear function <CLR> (Open state) — Common to 31B-GEQ and 3B-PEQ — The clear function lets you clear the equalizer curve currently being adjusted to return it to its initial status (when all levels are 0 dB). This is convenient when you want to readjust an equalizer curve. Note: • The clear function operates separately for the 31-ba[...]

30 A udio Adjustment <Network> What is the multi-amp system? The multi-speaker system reproduces each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass- ranges) through its own exclusive speaker unit. The multi-amp system provides an exclusive power amplifier for each speaker unit. There is only limited space in a vehicle for installing speakers, [...]

32 T ime alignment adjustment <T .A.> (Open state) In the vehicle, the different speaker units are at widely differing distances from the listener. The sounds from the speakers therefore reach the listener at different times. When a multi-amp system is set up, this causes different delays for each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass-[...]

Example: making corrections for the driver’s seat in a left-hand drive vehicle • Measure the distance between the head of the listener, when sitting in the driver’s seat, and each speaker unit. Note: • The unit of distance must be centimeters. Note: • It is recommended that the boxes be filled in as the measurements are made, as this info[...]
