Before operating the Auto EQ function
! Perform Auto EQ in as quiet a place as pos-
sible, with the vehicle engine and air condi-
tioning switched off. Also, cut power to car
phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or
remove them from the vehicle before per-
forming Auto EQ. Sounds other than the
measurement tone (surrounding sounds,
engine sound, telephones ringing, etc.)
may prevent correct measurement of the
vehicles acoustics.
! Be sure to perform Auto EQ using the mi-
crophone for acoustical measurement
(sold separately). Using another micro-
phone may prevent measurement, or result
in incorrect measurement of the vehicles
acoustics.
! To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers
must be connected.
! When this navigation system is connected
to a power amp with input level control,
Auto EQ may not be able to be performed if
the power amps input level is set below
the standard level.
! When this navigation system is connected
to a power amp with an LPF, turn the LPF
off before performing Auto EQ. Also, set
the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPFof
an active subwoofer to the highest fre-
quency.
! The distance has been calculated by com-
puter to provide the optimum delay to en-
sure accurate results. Do not change this
value.
The reflected sound within the vehicle is
strong and delays occur.
The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-
nal amps delay the lower sounds.
! If an error occurs during measurement, a
message appears and measurement is
canceled. Check the following before mea-
suring the vehicles acoustics.
