Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD operation manual Using the auto-equalizer, Level, Factor

Section

20 Digital Signal Processor

Level

1 Touch c or d to select LEVEL.

Each time you touch cor d selects the item in the following order:

SP-SEL (speakers)—BAND (bands)— FREQUENCY (center frequency)—LEVEL (equalizer level)—Q. FACTOR (Q factor)

2Touch c or d to adjust the equalizer level.

Each time you touch cor d increases or de- creases the equalizer level. +06 to –06 is dis- played as the level is increased or decreased.

Q factor

1Touch c or d to select Q. FACTOR.

Each time you touch cor d selects the item in the following order:

SP-SEL (speakers)—BAND (bands)— FREQUENCY (center frequency)—LEVEL (equalizer level)—Q. FACTOR (Q factor)

2Touch c or d to select the desired Q factor.

Each time you touch cor d switches between the following Q factor:

NARROW (narrow)—WIDE (wide)

# You can adjust parameters for each band of the other speakers in the same way.

Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre- ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing) on this page).

You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

1Touch AUTO EQ on the DSP function menu.

# You cannot use this function if auto TA and EQ has not been carried out.

2Touch ON to turn the auto-equalizer

on.

# To turn auto-equalizer off, touch OFF.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto- equalizing)

Only when the multi-channel processor (e.g., DEQ-P8000) is connected to this unit, you can operate this function.

The auto-time alignment is automatically ad- justed for the distance between each speaker and the listening position.

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

WARNING

To prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA and EQ while driving. When this function measures the car interior acoustic characteristics to create an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.

CAUTION

!Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow- ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check the conditions thoroughly be- fore carrying out auto TA and EQ.

—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 speaker’s maximum input power capabil- ity.

!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.
