About Operating

Install the included Sound Manager software for PXA-H800 on a PC. This provides the user with access to the all functions/features of this device.

Use the RUX-C800 (sold separately) to have access to many of the PXA-H800 functions without the need for a PC.

An Ai-NET compatible head unit provides limited functionality through its controls.

•The RUX-C800 Commander provides access to most of the PXA-H800 functions.

•To use all Automatic Measurement and Audio Setting/ Adjustment functions, a PC connection is required.

MX Plus

MX (Media Xpander) Plus enhances the vocal and instrumental sounds for each music source. MX Plus generates harmonics and compensates high frequency information. This helps improve music clarity even in a cabin with loud road noise.

Graphic Equalizer

The Graphic EQ divides the audio band into 31 individual bands. Each band is individually controlled to balance the sound and enhance detail.

Parametric Equalizer

The Parametric EQ has fewer bands but gives more control over where the band is located in the audio spectrum. The user can also control how much overlap with adjacent frequencies (Q). This provides you with a sound control feature of professional-level, which allows you to adjust an extremely narrow range in pin-point fashion without affecting the neighboring sound regions.

X-Over

The X-Over allows this processor to output audio within a specific band. These specific bands are sent to drive speakers optimized to reproduce those bands. Use the integrated HPF (High Pass Filter) or LPF (Low Pass Filter) to create a specified output for each channel. The Slope and Level of each channel is also adjustable.

5.1 ch theater surround compatible

Get true, 5.1 “Theater Surround.” Create a concert hall experience in your vehicle.

EUPHONY

EUPHONY is an innovative sound field reproduction method which DiMAGIC has created with the latest acoustic technology based on the core concept of “enjoying beautiful sound.” Taking maximum advantage of minute differences of sound between the right and left stereo signals, reverberation, and acoustics, with adaptive filters, the realistic sensation of sound field is created. The system features sound quality that is pleasant even after long listening, which is the optimum sound for long distance driving.

Before You First Use the Unit

When you first use the unit, set the following:

About the Audio Setting

The inherent sound quality inside a vehicle varies widely. Numerous factors, including media used, vehicle type, speakers, etc., contribute to this inconsistency. This processor is able to compensate for many of these factors to optimize the sound automatically.

ImprintEQ

ImprintEQ is a system to obtain the optimum acoustic effect at each seat based on the automatically measured acoustic data of the cabin.

RoadEQ

Road EQ (REAL-TIME OPTIMIZED ADAPTIVE DRIVING EQ) is a function to automatically adjust the EQ properties in accordance with the road noise while driving.

TCR (Time Correction)/Auto TCR (Automatic Time Correction)

In a vehicle, it is not possible to change the listening positions of the user. Using Time Correction, an optimized listening position is created no matter where the user is seated. This automated adjustment is able to focus the auditory image as well as expand the sound field making for a more natural sound.

“TCR” digitally delays the sound output from each speaker in order to align the timing of the sound reaching the listener.
