Fine Tuning the Position

After choosing the position using the Position Selector function, it is possible to fine tune the distance and the difference in sound levels. Conduct the fine tuning to match the loca- tion of the left and right speakers and the shape of the car and correct the position of the sound image so that the sounds are most natural.

Distance (DIS): 0 — 134 in. (0.67 in./1 step)

The longer the distance, the longer the sounds coming from the speaker take to reach the ears of the listener, giving the listener the feeling that the speaker is moving

further away. The sound image thus moves in the direction in which the value for the dis- tance is closer to 0.

Adjustment range in the difference in sound levels (LEV): 0 — –30 dB (1dB/1step)

The smaller the level, the lower the sound volume output from the speaker, giving the lis- tener the feeling that the speaker is moving further away. The sound image thus moves in the direction in which the value for the difference in sound levels is closer to 0.

Relationship between the distance and the delay time

It is necessary to adjust the delay time, irrespective of the distance between the listening position and each speaker unit, for better sound quality.

With this system, when you adjust the distance, the corresponding delay time is conducted automatically. It means that you can adjust the time alignment without calculating.

Note:

•Fine tuning can be conducted separately for each position.

•The values set after fine tuning are stored into memory as the values for the position. When the position is next called up, the fine tuning values are recalled.

1.Use the Position Selector function and select the position (refer to page 17).

Example: When selecting FRONT–L

2.Press the FUNCTION button 2 for two seconds and switch to Position Fine Tuning Screen.

3.Press FUNCTION buttons 1 or 2 and select the distance (DIS) adjustment or difference in sound levels (LEV) adjustment.
