Adjusting the Parametric Equalizer Curve (5BAND P.EQ)
The Parametric EQ function gives more flexibility than the Graphic EQ in covering problem areas in the vehicles response curve.
You can modify the Equalizer settings to create a response curve more appealing to your personal taste.
1Turn the Rotary encoder to select the Band, and then press ENTER.
BAND1 BAND2 BAND3 BAND4 BAND5
2Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired item, and then press ENTER.
WIDTH (Q) CENTER FRQ LEVEL
Setting the Bandwidth (WIDTH (Q))
WIDE 1 (Initial setting) MEDIUM 2 MEDIUM 3 NARROW 4
Change the boosted bandwidth to wide or narrow. A wider setting will boost a wide range of frequencies above and below the center frequency. A narrower setting will boost only frequencies near the center frequency.
Setting the Center Frequency (CENTER FRQ)
BAND1: 63/80/100/200 (63 Hz)
BAND2: 160/250/400/630/1.0 K (160 Hz)
BAND3: 630/1.0 K/1.6 K/2.5 K/4.0 K (630 Hz)
BAND4: 1.6 K/2.5 K/4 K/6.3 K/10.0 K (1.6 KHz)
BAND5: 10.0 K/12.5 K/16 K/17.5 K (10.0 KHz)

•The frequency range of adjacent bands should not overlap.
•While adjusting the Parametric EQ, you should consider the frequency response of the connected speakers.
•Using the Parametric EQ disables the Graphic EQ function.
Adjusting the Graphic Equalizer Curve (7BAND G.EQ)
The Graphic EQ is simpler to set up and use compared to the Parametric EQ.
You can modify the equalizer settings to create a response curve more appealing to your personal taste.
1Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired band, and then press ENTER.
BAND1 80 BAND2 250 BAND3 500 BAND4 1.0 K BAND5 4.0 K BAND6 8.0 K BAND7 16.0 K
2Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired level (−6 ~ +6), and then press ENTER.
3Repeat steps 1 to 2 to adjust other Bands.
