Performing time correction automatically (Automated Time Correction)

Due to the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there is a major difference between the distances of the various speakers and the listening position. This function uses the included measurement microphone to automatically measure and analyze the distances between the speakers and the listening position and perform the optimum time correction.

Preparations must be made before performing the automatic adjustment procedure. Refer to page 12.

The PXI-H990’s automatic adjustments take into account the delay time between the time at which the signals are input to the speakers until the sound is output. This does not correspond to the actual distance.

With the automatic adjustments, the average delay time within the speakers’ playable frequency range is measured. Measurements may not be possible when using special speakers or in special playback environments. If this is the case, perform the adjustments manually.

The AUTO TCR operation cannot be performed if the included microphone is not connected.

When performing automatic adjustment, set the head unit to the TUNER mode before adjusting.

1Before starting the automatic adjustment procedure, park the vehicle in a quiet place to avoid the effects of external sounds.

2Set the vehicle’s key to the ACC position.

Do not start the engine. The vibrations may make it impossible to achieve the proper adjustment values.

3Adjust the volume.

Adjust the volume to “-50dB” by performing the volume adjustment opera- tion on the head unit.
