Audio Adjustments

Adjusting source levels

SLA (source level adjustment) lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radi- cal changes in volume when switching between sources.

•Settings are based on the FM tuner volume level, which remains unchanged.

1.Compare the FM tuner volume level with the level of the source you want to adjust (e.g., built-in CD player).

2.Press AUDIO and then press NEXT twice.

3.Press SLA to select the SLA mode.

4.Press 5 or ∞ to adjust the source vol- ume.

Each press of 5 or ∞ increases or decreas- es the source volume.

•“+4” – “4”– is displayed as the source vol- ume is increased or decreased.

Note:

•Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is not possible to apply source level adjustments to the FM tuner.

•The AM tuner volume level can also be adjusted using source level adjustment.

•The built-in CD and the multi-CD players are both set to the same source level adjustment volume automatically.

Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve creat- ed by auto-equalizing. (Refer to “Creating the auto-equalizer curve” on this page.)

You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

1.Press AUDIO and then press NEXT twice.

2.Press A.EQ to select the auto-equalizer on/off mode.

3.Press A.EQ to turn the auto-equalizer on. “AUTO EQ ON” appears in the display.

•Press A.EQ again to turn auto-equalizer off.

Note:

•“A.EQ” is not displayed if auto-equalizing has not been carried out. In this case, this mode is inactive.

Switching the digital attenuator

When listening to a CD or other source on which the recording level is high, setting the equalizer curve level to high may result in dis- tortion.

You can switch the digital attenuator to low to reduce distortion.

•Sound quality is better at the high setting, so this is the setting usually used.

1.Press AUDIO and then press NEXT twice.

2.Press D.ATT to select the digital attenua- tor mode.

3.Press the corresponding button to select the digital attenuator level.

Creating the auto-equalizer curve

The auto-equalizer automatically measures car interior acoustic characteristics, and then cre- ates the auto-equalizer curve based on that information.

WARNING:

•To prevent accidents, never carry out auto- equalizing while driving. When this function measures the car interior acoustic characteris- tics to create an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be output from the speakers.
