Read through the adjustment procedures to get the best results before making final adjustments.

DSP BUTTON FUNCTIONS

The (up) and (down) keys move you up and down through the Menu Selections, between the Selection settings and for Setting Adjustments.

The Select (center) or (right) key takes you into the individual Menu Selection settings. The (left) key backs you out one step while in the setting selections.

During adjustments, pressing and holding a key for more than one (1) second will quickly scroll through the selection in the direction of the button being held.

EXAMPLE: Holding the (up) button while in the Crossover Freq setting will allow you to quickly move the setting upwards from 50 to 350.

NOTE: Adjustments made to the amplifier setup will be saved after exiting the current menu or adjustment screen. If no keypress is detected for 30 seconds after a change is made, it will automatically return to the title screen and changes will be saved. To ensure any adjustments made are saved, always exit the current menu or allow the 30 second timeout period. These settings can also be permanently saved to one of five (5) locations using the GLOBAL SAVE feature.

DSP MENU & DEFAULTS

Opening Message – "ROCKFORD FOSGATE TYPE RF DSP" and "PRESS ANY KEY FOR SETUP MENU"; This shows when amplifier is turned on.

The menu order shown is when the amplifier has been turned on for the first time. This shows selections, selection settings, setting adjustment and the default setting.

1.INPUT LEVEL – (Setting the amplifier's input sensitivity)

INPUT RANGE - HI or LO {Default is HI}

A LO setting is for a source unit output of less than or equal to 1.0 volts. A HI setting is for a source unit output of greater than or equal to 1.1 volts.

GAIN LEVEL - 0-30 {Default is 30}

2.GLOBAL SAVE – (Used to save up to 5 individual complete settings in a non-volatile memory)

PRESET SELECT - 1-5 {Default is Ø} Selects the preset memory spot to use.

PRESET PERFORM - PROTECT, SAVE, LOAD or RESTORE {Default is PROTECT}

Selects the feature to perform for the selected preset. PROTECT: Disables all actions on the selected

preset until changed by using the up/down keys. SAVE: Saves the settings currently in the amplifier to

the selected preset. LOAD: Loads the settings in the selected preset into the amplifier. RESTORE: Restores all the settings in the selected preset to the factory defaults.

NOTE: Always wait for the display to read that the save is complete before turning power off to the amplifier

3.TIME DELAY – (Used to delay the signal output of either the Right, Left or Both channels)

SIGNAL SELECT - L CHAN, R CHAN or L+R CHAN Selects the channel output for the signal delay.

DELAY ADJUST - 0-500 (setting in 20usec increments) {Default is Ø}

This setting is individually adjustable for each Signal Select with a signal delay of up to 500 ultra seconds {0-10 milliseconds}. Settings made in either the L-CHAN or R CHAN select are additive to the setting entered in L+R CHAN select. Adjusting the L or R Channel delays allows the user to off-center or center the stereo imaging as desired, whereas the L+R Channel delay setting can be used to balance the relative signal delay between two (2) separate amplifiers in systems using multiple amplifiers.
