A udio Adjustment Audio Menu This system has the following three Audio Menus: Main <Main> (page 12) This carries out Balance Adjustments as well as Bass/Treble Adjustment, the basis for sound quality adjustments.
11 A udio Adjustment Switching to the Audio Menu When the system is ON, you can adjust the sound quality. Main (Main Menu) = Equalizer (Equalizer Menu) = Network (Network Menu) 3. Press the BAND button and cancel the Audio Menu. Cancel the Audio Menu to return to the operations screen of the source currently in use.
A udio Adjustment <Main> Main Menu With this menu, you can make the following adjustments. • Balance Adjustment <FAD/BAL CONTROL> (Closed state) • Bass/Treble Adjustment <B/T> (O.
13 A udio Adjustment <Main> Bass/T reble Adjustment <B/T> (Open state) It is possible to select one from a choice of four frequencies to becomes the reference when adjusting the bass/treble tone.
Using the Compression <CP> (Open state) You can reduce the difference between the volume levels of loud and quiet sounds. The Compression function suppresses loud sounds and boosts quiet sounds to reduce the difference between the volume levels of loud and quiet sounds.
15 A udio Adjustment <Main> Adjusting the Listening Position <PS> (Open state) One way to assure a more natural sound is to clearly position the stereo sound image (putting you in the center of the sound field).
Fine T uning the Position You can finely adjust the differences in distance and sound levels for the position selected with the Position Selector function. Make adjustments using both methods to match the location of the speakers and the shape of your vehicle until you achieve more natural sound imaging.
17 A udio Adjustment <Main> Points concerning fine tuning • While listening to vocals, adjust the distance to position the vocal sound image naturally to the front. 5. After tuning has been completed, press the RETURN button to cancel the Position Fine Tuning Screen.
Effective distance Adjustment Using the Position Fine T uning function — Relation to Time Alignment Adjustment function — The distance between the listening position and each speaker can be tuned using either of two methods.
19 A udio Adjustment <Main> Source Level Adjustment <SLA> (Open state) The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume level when switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume level, which remains unchanged.
A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> About the Equalizer Menu One important factor for creating quality sound is the correction of disturbances in fre- quency characteristics within the complex shape of a vehicle interior.
21 A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> Equalizer Menu With this menu, you can make the following adjustments. • Recalling the Equalizer Curve (Closed state) (Refer to page 46.
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. q This sound range feels almost like pressure on the ears of the listener, particularly if the sound is too strong.
23 A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> 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.
Adjusting the 31 Band Graphic Equalizer <FINE> (Open state) Adjustable frequency : 20 Hz — 20 kHz (Every 1/3 octaves, total 31 bands) Level adjustment range: –12 dB — +12 dB (0.5 dB/1 step) • You can switch between the Left/Right combine mode and Left/Right independent mode at any time.
25 A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> When completing the adjustment • It is recommended that adjustment settings be stored in memory soon after the adjustments are completed. Refer to page 43 for Memory operations. 8. Switch between right and left to set up the equalizer curve.
Adjusting the 3 Band Parametric Equalizer <PEQ> (Open state) About the adjustment using the parametric equalizer The parametric equalizer can make the following adjustments. Separate 3 band adjustment for left/right It is possible to set up the left and right equalizer curves separately.
27 A udio Adjustment <Equalizer> Setting the equalizer curve • You can switch between the Left/Right combine mode and Left/Right independent mode at any time. So even when using the Left/Right independent mode, you can switch to the Left/Right combine mode to perform adjustments.
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.
29 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.
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.
31 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.
Network Menu <N.W .> With this menu, you can make the following adjustments. • Time Alignment Adjustment <T.A.> (Open state) • Filter Adjustment <FTR> (Open state) • Switching .
33 T ime Alignment Adjustment <T .A.> (Open state) In the vehicle, the different speaker units are at widely differing distances from the listener.
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.
35 A udio Adjustment <Network> Inputting the Distance to be Corrected (Delay T ime) Scope of adjustment: 0 – 192.5 cm (0.77 cm/1 step) (S.W.: 0 – 385 cm (1.54 cm/1 step)) Note: • The correct distance can not be input unless these operations are conducted.
Note: • Some systems may indicate values for speaker units which are not connected. Verify the composi- tion of the system in order to correctly adjust the bands for the connected speaker units. 7. Carry out time alignment adjustments for the other speaker units.
37 A udio 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.
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.
39 A udio 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. 7. Set up the cut-off frequencies of each filter for all the bands.
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.
41 A udio 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.
Switching between Linear Phase Characteristics/Minimum Delay Phase Characteristics <LIN> (Open state) This product (RS-A9) uses an FIR (Finite-duration Impulse Response) digital filter. You can select between the filter characteristics of Linear Phase Characteristics and Minimum Delay Phase Characteristics.
43 A udio Adjustment <Memory Functions> Memory Functions of Adjusted Audio Menu (MEMO) This system allows the contents of the adjusted equalizer and network to be stored in mem- ory as follows. The numbers in ( ) represent the numbers of the memory registers to be used.
Switching to Memory Mode Memory operations are conducted in the memory mode of each Audio Menu. Equalizer Menu Note: • This operation cannot be conducted when the Flat function of the Equalizer Menu is ON. Network Menu Note: • This operation cannot be conducted when the screen shows Filter Adjustment Screen or Time Alignment Adjustment Screen.
45 A udio Adjustment <Memory Functions> Storing the Adjustment Data in Memory Note: • When the adjustment data have been stored, the previous data are eliminated and replaced by the new.
Recalling Data Stored in Memory There are two ways to recall data stored in memory. In Forward/Reverse Order — Functions of Equalizer Menu — This function can be operated when the cover of the remote control is closed.
47 A udio Adjustment <Memory Functions> Specifying the Memory Number Directly Memory recall operations on the Equalizer Menu • When the Flat function is turned ON, it is not possible to recall memory. 2. Press the FUNCTION button to recall the memory.
Memory Protect function In order to avoid accidentally erasing data which have been stored in memory, or to avoid replacing stored data, it is possible to set up a Protect function for the following memory numbers. When the Protect function is ON, adjustment data storage operations are not accepted.
