Page 22: Relation Between Frequency Characteristics And Sound Quality
Audio Adjustment <Equalizer> Relation between frequency characteristics and sound quality Sound quality generally has the following characteristics, depending on the frequency. Refer to these characteristics when making adjustments. Tenor Baritone Bass Guitar Bass Drum Tenor Saxophone q This sound range feels almost like pressure on the ears of the listener, particularly if the sound is too strong. - Page 23 The points when adjusting the equalizer curve • Take the recreated frequency bands of the speakers into consideration when adjusting. For example, when a speaker with a band between 80 Hz and 4 kHz is connected, adjusting the level in 50 Hz or 10 kHz will have no effect.

Page 30: Audio Adjustment
Audio 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, and it is difficult to install large-diameter speakers in a door or on the dashboard and get high sound quality. -

Page 32: Switching To The Network Menu
Audio Adjustment <Network> Time 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-ranges), marring the position of the sound image and the overall balance and disturbing the frequency characteristics. - Page 33 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. Left Speaker (L) Front tweeter (high-range)

Page 36: Filter Adjustment
Audio Adjustment <Network> Filter adjustment <FTR> (Open state) The following adjustments can be made during filter adjustments. Make the appropriate adjustments for the reproduced frequency band and characteristics of the connected speaker unit. Filter frequency adjustment: Every 1/3 octave Level adjustment: 0.5 dB/1 step The cut-off frequencies of the high pass filter (H.P.F.) and the low pass filter (L.P.F.) of each band (subwoofer, low, mid, high) and the reproduction level of each band are set up. -
Page 37: Switching To The Filter Adjustment Mode
About the H.P.F. and L.P.F. High pass filter eliminates lower sound ranges (low-range) from the set up frequencies and allows high ranges through. Low pass filter eliminates upper sound ranges (high-range) from the set up frequencies and allows low ranges through. About the slope This value indicates how many dB the signals attenuate when the frequency increases (or decreases) 1 octave (unit: dB/oct.). -
Page 38: Adjusting The Filter
Audio Adjustment <Network> Adjusting the filter First, determine the approximate band to be used, taking into consideration the reproduced frequency band and the characteristics of the connected speaker. 1. Open the cover of the remote control in the network menu (refer to page 5). This switches to network menu setting screen. - Page 39 Important points in adjusting cut-off frequencies • If the subwoofer is installed in the rear tray, setting a high cut-off frequency of L.P.F. of the subwoofer separates the bass and gives the listener the feeling that the bass is coming from behind. The L.P.F.
- Page 40 Audio Adjustment <Network> Important points in adjusting the slope • A decrease in the absolute value of the slope (more gentle inclination) makes the frequency characteristics more susceptible to interference from the next band. • Increasing the absolute value of the slope (sharper inclination) lessens the connections between bands, giving the listener the impression of hearing separate, unrelated sounds.
