Using the equalizer
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization
to match car interior acoustic characteristics
as desired.
Recalling equalizer curves
There are seven stored equalizer curves which
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equalizer curves:

Natural

Vocal

Custom1
Custom 1
Custom2
Custom 2
Flat

S.Bass
Super bass
! Custom1 and Custom2 are adjusted equal-
izer curves that you create. Adjustments
can be made with a 7-band graphic equali-
zer.
! When Flat is selected no supplement or
correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equalizer
curves by switching alternatively between
Flat and a set equalizer curve.
% Press EQ to select the equalizer.
Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol-
lowing equalizers:
Powerful—Natural—Vocal—Custom1—
Custom2—Flat—S.Bass
Adjusting equalizer curves
The factory supplied equalizer curves, with the
exception of Flat, can be adjusted to a fine de-
gree (nuance control).

Use MULTI-CONTROL to select the gra-
phic equalizer adjustment.
PWRFL appears in the display.
If the equalizer curve has been previously se-
lected, the curve of that previously selected
will be displayed instead of PWRFL.

Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to
select an equalizer curve.
Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or
right, equalizer curves are selected in the fol-
lowing order:
Powerful—Natural—Vocal—Custom1—
Custom2—Flat—S.Bass
PWRFL—Natural—Vocal—Custom1—
Custom2—Flat—S.Bass

Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to
adjust the equalizer curve.
Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed up or
down, the equalizer curve increases or de-
creases respectively.
+6 to –4 (or –6) is displayed as the equalizer
curve is increased or decreased.
# The actual range of the adjustments are differ-
ent depending on which equalizer curve is se-
lected.
# The equalizer curve with all frequencies set to
0 cannot be adjusted.
Adjusting 7-band graphic equalizer
For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves,
you can adjust the level of each band.
! A separate Custom1 curve can be created
for each source. (The built-in CD player and
the multi-CD player are set to the same
equalizer adjustment setting automati-
cally.) If you make adjustments when a
curve other than Custom2 is selected, the
equalizer curve settings will be memorized
in Custom1.
