peration modes
This product features two operation modes: the
3-way network mode (NW) and the standard
mode (STD). You can switch between modes
as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to the
standard mode (STD). (Refer to "Switching the
DSP setting mode" on page 5.)
• The 3-way network mode (NW) lets you cre-
ate of a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker sys-
tem with separate speakers for reproduction
of high, middle and low frequencies (bands),
each driven by a dedicated power amp. The
3-way network mode provides network and
time alignment functions, two functions essen-
tial for a multi-amp, multi-speaker system, to
enable precise control over settings for each
frequency range.
• The standard mode (STD) lets you create a 4-
speaker system with front and rear speakers,
or a 6-speaker system with front and rear
speakers and subwoofers. The standard
mode provides a sound field control function
offering an easy way to recreate realistic
sound fields in your car.
