AUDIO SETTINGS
Digital Time Alignment settings
Digital Time Alignment sets the delay time of the speaker output to create a more suitable environment for your vehicle.
- For more information, see "Determining the value for [DISTANCE] and [GAIN] of [DTA SETTINGS]".
[DTA SETTINGS]
| [POSITION] | Selects your listening position (reference point). [ALL]: Not compensating ; [FRONT RIGHT]: Front right seat ; [FRONT LEFT]: Front left seat ; [FRONT ALL]: Front seats• [FRONT ALL] is displayed only when [X' OVER TYPE] is set to [2-WAY]. (Page 21) |
| [DISTANCE]*1 | [OCM] to [610CM]: Fine adjust the distance to compensate. |
| [GAIN]*1 | [-8DB] to [ODB]: Fine adjust the output volume of the selected speaker. |
| [DTA RESET] | [YES]: Resets the settings ([DISTANCE] and [GAIN]) of the selected [POSITION] to default.; [NO]: Cancels. |
[CAR SETTINGS] Identify your car type and rear speaker location in order to make the adjustment for [DTA SETTINGS].
| [CAR TYPE] | [COMPACT]/[FULL SIZE CAR]/[WAGON]/[MINIVAN]/[SUV]/[MINIVAN(LONG)]: Selects the type of vehicle. ; [OFF]: Not compensating. |
| [R-SP LOCATION]*2 | Selects the location of the rear speakers in your vehicle to calculate the furthest distance from the listening position selected (reference point).• [DOOR]/[REAR DECK]: Selectable only when [CAR TYPE] is selected as [OFF], [COMPACT], [FULL SIZE CAR], [WAGON] or [SUV].• [2ND ROW]/[3RD ROW]: Selectable only when [CAR TYPE] is selected as [MINIVAN] or [MINIVAN(LONG)]. |
Determining the value for [DISTANCE] and [GAIN] of [DTA SETTINGS]

If you specify the distance from the center of the currently set listening position to every speaker, the delay time will be automatically computed and set.
1 Determines the center of the currently set listening position as the reference point. 2 Measures the distances from the reference point to the speakers. 3 Calculates the differences between the distance of the furthest speaker (rear speaker) and other speakers. 4 Sets the [DISTANCE] calculated in step 3 for individual speakers. 5 Adjusts [GAIN] for individual speakers.
Example: When [FRONT ALL] is selected as the listening position
*1 Before making an adjustment, select the speaker:
When 2-way crossover is selected:
[FRONT LEFT]/[FRONT RIGHT]/[REAR LEFT]/[REAR RIGHT]/[SUBWOOFER]:
- [REAR LEFT], [REAR RIGHT] and [SUBWOOFER] are selectable only if a setting other than [NONE] is selected for [REAR] and [SUBWOOFER] of [SPEAKER SIZE]. (Page 23)
When 3-way crossover is selected:
[TWEETER LEFT]/[TWEETER RIGHT]/[MID LEFT]/[MID RIGHT]/[WOOFER]:
[WOOFER] is selectable only if a setting other than [NONE] is selected for [WOOFER] of [SPEAKER SIZE]. (Page 24)
*2 Displayed only when [X 'OVER TYPE] is set to [2-WAY] (page 21) and if a setting other than [NONE] is selected for [REAR] of [SPEAKER SIZE]. (Page 23)

INSTALLATION/CONNECTION
▲ Warning
- The unit can only be used with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
- Disconnect the battery's negative terminal before wiring and mounting.
- Do not connect Battery wire (yellow) and Ignition wire (red) to the car chassis or Ground wire (black) to prevent a short circuit. • To prevent short circuit:
- Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape. — Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after installation.
- Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap vinyl tape around the wires that come in contact with metal parts to protect the wires.
Caution
- For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer. • Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
- Do not connect the ⊖ wires of speakers to the car chassis or Ground wire (black), or connect them in parallel.
- Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W. If the maximum power of the speakers is lower than 50 W, change the [AMP GAIN] setting to avoid damaging the speakers. (Page 21)
- Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30°.
- If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal, connect Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle's fuse box which provides 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the ignition key.
- Keep all cables away from heat dissipate metal parts.
- After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
- If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching the car's chassis, then replace the old fuse with one that has the same rating.
