Creating the auto-equalizer curve
Using the auto-equalizer
The auto-equalizer automatically measures car
interior acoustic characteristics, and then cre-
ates the auto-equalizer curve based on that
information.
The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve creat-
ed by auto-equalizing. (Refer to “Creating the
auto-equalizer curve” on this page.)
You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.
1. Press AUDIO and then press NEXT twice.
WARNING:
2. Press A.EQ to select the auto-equalizer
on/off mode.
• To prevent accidents, never carry out auto-
equalizing while driving. When this function
measures the car interior acoustic characteris-
tics to create an auto-equalizer curve, a loud
measurement tone (noise) may be output
from the speakers.
37
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Auto-equalizing changes the audio settings as
below:
–The fader/balance settings return to the cen-
ter position. (Refer to page 32.)
–The graphic equalizer curve switches to
“FLAT”. (Refer to page 31.)
–When a subwoofer is connected to this prod-
uct, it will be adjusted automatically either
subwoofer output and high pass filter setting
for rear speaker.
• If you carry out auto-equalizing when an auto-
equalizer curve already exists, the previous
curve will be erased.
• If you change the preout output setting after
you performed Auto equalizing, Auto-equaliz-
er curve is erased. In this case, perform Auto-
equalizing again.
PRECAUTION:
• Carrying out auto-equalizing under the follow-
ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be
sure to check conditions thoroughly before
carrying out auto-equalizing.
–When speakers are incorrectly connected.
(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to a
subwoofer output.)
–When a speaker is connected to a power
amp delivering output higher than the speak-
er’s maximum input power capability.
• If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable
position the measurement tone may become
loud and measurement may take a long time,
resulting in a drain on battery power. Be sure
to place the microphone in the specified loca-
tion. (Refer to “Carrying out auto-equalizing.)
Carrying out auto-equalizing
Before operating the auto-equalization
function
1. Stop the car in a place that is as quiet as
possible, close all doors, windows and
the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.
• Carry out auto-equalizing in as quiet a place
as possible, with the car engine and air condi-
tioning switched off. Also cut power to car
phones or portable telephones in the car, or
remove from the car before carrying out auto-
equalizing. Sounds other than the measure-
ment tone (surrounding sounds, engine
sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent
correct measurement of car interior acoustic
characteristics.
• Be sure to carry out auto-equalizing using the
supplied microphone. Using another micro-
phone may prevent measurement, or result in
incorrect measurement of car interior acoustic
characteristics.
If the engine is left running, engine noise
may prevent correct auto-equalizing.
2. Fix the supplied microphone in the center
of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing
forward, using the belt (sold separately).
The auto-equalizer curve may differ depend-
ing on where you place the microphone. If
desired, place the microphone on the front
passenger seat to carry out auto-equalizing.
• Neither front nor rear speaker is connected,
auto-equalizing cannot be carried out.
• When this product is connected to a power
amp with input level control, auto-equalizing
may not be possible if you lower power amp
input level. Set the power amp’s input level to
the standard position.

CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD player and care
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)/CD-RW (CD-
ReWritable) discs recorded on CD recorder
units other than a music CD recorder may not
play properly on this CD player.
• Use only CDs that carry either of the two
Compact Disc Digital Audio marks shown
below.
• Music CD-R/CD-RW discs, even when record-
ed on a music CD recorder, may not play
properly on this CD player because of differ-
ing disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc. Dirt or condensation on the lens
inside this product may also prevent playback.
• Titles and other text information recorded on a
CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by
this product.
• Use only normal, round CDs. If you insert
irregular, non-round, shaped CDs they may
jam in the CD player or not play properly.
• This product conforms to the track skip func-
tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks con-
taining the track skip information are skipped
over automatically.
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this product,
load time to playback will be longer than for a
conventional CD or CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions accompanying the CD-
R/CD-RW discs before use.
• Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or warp-
ing before playing. CDs that are cracked,
scratched or warped may not play properly.
Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed
side) surface when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not
expose the discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemi-
cals to the surface of the discs.
• To clean dirt from a CD, wipe the disc with a
soft cloth outward from the center of the disc.
• If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture
may form on components inside the CD play-
er. Condensation may cause the CD player
not to operate properly. If you think that con-
densation is a problem, turn off the CD player
for an hour or so to allow the CD player to dry
out and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth
to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.

• Keep MDs out of direct sunlight and high tem-
peratures.
• If the surface of an MD cartridge is dirty, wipe
it gently with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not apply benzene, thinner or other volatile
liquids to MDs.
MD player and care
• Use MDs bearing this mark. Using a disc
other than a music MD may result in damage
to this product.
• When using an MD cleaning disc, be sure to
read the disc’s instructions carefully. Cleaning
discs may result in damage to this product.
• When it’s cold, if you start playing an MD
immediately after switching the heater in a
room on, condensation on the optical lens
inside the player or on the MD may prevent
normal play. If this happens, turn off the play-
er for about an hour to allow the condensation
to evaporate, and wipe damp MD cartridge
surfaces with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the MD shutter by hand. Forcing
it open may result in damage.
Shutter
• Be sure to stick labels supplied with MDs in
the specified location. Failing to do this, or
sticking one label on top of another may make
it impossible for the MD to be removed.
• Do not use MDs with labels that are not
affixed correctly. Labels like this may catch on
something, preventing removal of the MD.
Before using an MD, remove the label if it is
not correctly affixed, and replace it with a new
label.

Additional Information
Connecting the units
Note:
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-
ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery volt-
age.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning
installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connect-
ing the power amp and other units, then make con-
nections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and
seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot,
such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of
the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of
the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.
• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery. This
will damage the lead insulation and cause a very
dangerous short.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection
circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the
insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and
tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the
lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the
rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire
so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the
left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.
• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod-
ucts such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the ground
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the
products or fire.
• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do
not remove the caps attached to the end of the con-
nector.
• Speakers connected to this unit must be high-
power types with minimum rating of 50 W and
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers
with output and/or impedance values other than
those noted here may result in the speakers catch-
ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.
• When an external power amp is being used with
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not
connect the blue lead to the power terminal of the
auto-antenna. Such connection could cause exces-
sive current drain and malfunction.
• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of
the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is
black. Connect the connectors of the same
colors correctly.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected
to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF
operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery
may be drained when you are away from the vehicle
for several hours. (Fig. 1)

• Cords for this product and those for other products
may be different colors even if they have the same
function. When connecting this product to another
product, refer to the supplied Installation manuals
of both products and connect cords that have the
same function.
