and balanced as possible. Too much boosting can make you feel like you are listening to your sys- tem in a tile bathroom. Not enough energy in the midrange sounds empty and dry.

Treble: 3KHz and Up - If midrange is the cake, then these high or upper frequencies are the frosting. Many autosound systems start a gradual decline in this area which is why speaker place- ment is very important. The DQS only gives you a few controls in this area because too much boost- ing can really make a speaker sound unnatural.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Power: If the blue display on your DQS will not turn on, check to make sure that the power wire and remote turn-on wires are connected properly or a fuse has not blown.

System Sounds Unbalanced: Check your graphic and parametric equalization settings to make sure that one channel is not dramatically different than another.

Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound distorted or your speakers are moving way too much, you should make sure you have your levels matched properly and that your amplifier gains are set at minimum. If this checks out okay, you will want to look at your EQ controls to insure

that your boost levels are not overly boosted.

Still Sounds Distorted: Look at the frequen- cies that you have selected for FrontPEQ1 and FrontPEQ 2 and see how much boost or cut you have applied. Then look at those same frequen- cies on your Graphic EQ. If you have boost ap- plied to the same frequencies on both types of equalizers, there is a strong chance you are overdriving your speakers and amplifiers at that frequency.

Output Voltage LEDs Don’t Light Up: If your system is playing music but none of the output LED’s are on, there is a good chance that the output voltage of your source unit is not that strong. Now before you call us and say, “The guy at the store said my radio has high-voltage out- put”, you might want to face the fact that there is “Engineering Voltage” and there is “Marketing Voltage”. Without picking on any particular source unit, remember that you do get what you pay for.
