Pioneer FH-P8900MD Before operating the auto-equalization function, Carrying out auto-equalizing

Page 39

PRECAUTION:

•Carrying out auto-equalizing under the follow- ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check conditions thoroughly before carrying out auto-equalizing.

–When speakers are incorrectly connected. (e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to a subwoofer output.)

–When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speak- er’s maximum input power capability.

•If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable position the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in a drain on battery power. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified loca- tion. (Refer to “Carrying out auto-equalizing.)

Before operating the auto-equalization function

•Carry out auto-equalizing in as quiet a place as possible, with the car engine and air condi- tioning switched off. Also cut power to car phones or portable telephones in the car, or remove from the car before carrying out auto- equalizing. Sounds other than the measure- ment tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics.

•Be sure to carry out auto-equalizing using the supplied microphone. Using another micro- phone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics.

•Neither front nor rear speaker is connected, auto-equalizing cannot be carried out.

•When this product is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto-equalizing may not be possible if you lower power amp input level. Set the power amp’s input level to the standard position.

•Auto-equalizing changes the audio settings as below:

–The fader/balance settings return to the cen- ter position. (Refer to page 32.)

–The graphic equalizer curve switches to “FLAT”. (Refer to page 31.)

–When a subwoofer is connected to this prod- uct, it will be adjusted automatically either subwoofer output and high pass filter setting for rear speaker.

•If you carry out auto-equalizing when an auto- equalizer curve already exists, the previous curve will be erased.

•If you change the preout output setting after you performed Auto equalizing, Auto-equaliz- er curve is erased. In this case, perform Auto- equalizing again.

Carrying out auto-equalizing

1.Stop the car in a place that is as quiet as possible, close all doors, windows and the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto-equalizing.

2.Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately).

The auto-equalizer curve may differ depend- ing on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto-equalizing.
