About the digital network A vehicle, unlike the home audio, imposes several constraints upon the quality of repro- duced sound, and have the following effects: Reflected sounds have strong effects on direct sounds because of the confined space and complex shape within a vehicle. This disturbs frequency characteristics and significantly reduces sound quality. The orientation of the sound image becomes unnatural, because speakers may not be installed symmetrically to left and right of the listener, or because speakers are installed in both the front and rear. This system is equipped with a wide variety of functions that use DSP to create the ideal sound quality and sound image in a vehicle and overcome these constraints on reverbera- tion. 1onpoid SIUL Puis" 210j2g

Experimenting with other positions + The position is normally designed to match the listener’s position in the car. However, other positions may prove to be more effective, depending on the model of the car and the location of the speakers. Compare the sound and choose the position in which the sounds are most natural.

udio Adjustment <Main> Fine tuning the position You can finely adjust the differences in distance and sound levels for the position selected with the position selector function. Make adjustments using both methods to match the location of the speakers and the shape of your vehicle until you achieve more natural sound imaging. Difference in distance adjustment range: 0.0 cm to 192.5 cm (0.77 cm/1 step) The larger the difference in distance, the sooner sound from the speaker reaches your ears, so the speaker seems to move closer. Consequently, the sound image moves in the direc- tion in which the value for the difference in distance is larger. Adjustment range in the difference in sound levels (LEV): 0 dB to -30 dB (0.5 dB/1 step) 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. 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.

Audio Adjustment <Main> Effective distance adjustment using the position fine tuning function — Relation to time alignment adjustment function — The distance between the listening position and each speaker can be tuned using either of two methods. Time alignment adjustment function of the network menu (page 32) The distance between the listening position and each speaker of each band (high, mid, low and subwoofer) can be adjusted for the left and right speakers. Adjustment of difference in distance with the position fine tuning function Overall adjustment is performed for left and right speakers regardless of the band. The same adjustments are made for high, midrange, low and subwoofer bands. Combine the two methods to ensure the position of the sound images are set up more effectively.

1. Adjust the distance from each speaker using the time alignment

adjustment function of the network menu (refer to page 32).

2. Adjust the overall distance balance between the left and right speakers

using the position fine tuning function. Use the set values for the time alignment adjustment function to fine tune the overall balance of the sound image positions.

3. Use the position fine tuning function to adjust the overall level balance

between the left and right speakers. Adjust the difference in sound levels between the left and right speakers so that the sound image is in the front. When you have made adjustments for difference in distance using the position fine tuning function + After adjusting the difference in distance with the position fine tuning function and switching to the time alignment adjustment screen, the values set using the position fine tuning function are added to the values previously set using the time alignment function and the sum values are displayed.

stment <Equal About the equalizer menu One important factor for creating quality sound is the correction of disturbances in fre- quency characteristics within the complex shape of a vehicle interior. Reflected sounds have a strong effect on direct sound in a vehicle because of the vehicle’s shape, the confined space, absorption of sound by the seats and reflection from the win- dows. AIl these cause disturbances in the frequency characteristics. Such disturbances will be apparent as reduced sound quality. Any one of two kinds of digital equalizer is used under this system, depending upon the configuration of the audio system. The digital equalizer adjustment corrects disturbances in frequency characteristics and creates a smooth sound quality. + As installation conditions differ for the left and right speakers, different corrections must be made for each. AII two digital equalizers are able to correct the left and right speakers separately. 31 band graphic equalizer (31B-GEQ) You can perform 31-band (1/3 octave intervals) level adjustments for left and right chan- nels independently or combined to achieve the optimum acoustic characteristics for the environment in your vehicle, 3 band parametric equalizer (3B-PEQ) You can perform 3-band level adjustments for left and right channels independently or combined, adjusting the levels of a choice of 31 frequencies (1/3 octave intervals) as desired. You can also adjust the inclination of the equalizer curve (Q factor) of each of the bands.

udio Adjustment <Equalizer> Relation between frequency characteristics and sound quality Sound quality generally has the following characteristics, depending on the frequency. Refer to these characteristics when making adjustments.

° e © 0 © LJ 0 (:J © This sound range feels almost like pressure on the ears of the listener, particularly if the sound is 100 strong. @ in this range, the listener feels the heavy bass. This is also the range in which the impact of the sound is felt in the body. Excessive sound in this range will impair the clarity of the overall sound. © The sound range required for bass. À lack of sound in this range results in a weak bass impact, while excessive sound will muffle the overall sound. A clear reproduction lends depth to the overall sound. @ This is the sound range in which the sound signals are most dense and where the sound outline is created. A lack of sound in this range results in a lack of warmth. Excessive sound dims clarity. © The sound range required for the core of the sound. A lack of sound in this range weakens the core. An important range for keeping the overall sound quality in balance. @ nn this range, the sharp, expansive sounds of the brass and electric r are felt. However, excessive sound in this range is tiring on the ears. © This sound range adds color and gaiety to the overall sound. A lack in sound in this range will result in a muffled overall sound, while excessive sound will enhance the metallic aspects. © This range is required for the glamorous sound of the cymbals. However, this range does not contain the basic frequencies of almost all the instruments. Therefore, if the sound in this range is lacking somewhat, the overall sound quality will not deteriorate markedly.

The points when adjusting the equalizer curve Take the recreated frequency bands of the speakers into consideration when adjusting. For example, when a speaker with a band benween 80 Hz and 4 KHz is connected, adjusting the level in 50 Hz or 10 kHz will have no effect. Balancing the bass and treble is recommended. The bass tends to be lacking when no subwoofer is connected. Adjust the treble to a lower volume to match the weaker bass and create a well-balanced sound Noises coming from the road make the bass seem weak while driving. If the level is below 100 Hz, adjust to a slightly greater level to maintain superb sound balance while driving. When the sound is inadequate or excessive, it is recommended to set the levels after checking the frequencies of the sounds in question by changing the peripheral frequencies to the maximum or minimum. <ezqenb3> juewsnfpy opny

udio Adjustment <Network> What is the multi-amp system? The multi-speaker system reproduces each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass- ranges) through its own exclusive speaker unit. The multi-amp system provides an exclusive power amplifier for each speaker unit. There is only limited space in a vehicle for installing speakers, and it is difficult to install large-diameter speakers in a door or on the dashboard and get high sound quality. To over- come this problem, tweeters (high-range) are sometimes installed in the dashboard in order 10 move the sound image upwards, or the subwoofers are installed in the rear tray in order 10 improve bass and ultrabass reproduction. Thus, using a multi-speaker system can correct imbalances in the sound image and significantly improve the total sound quality. The multi-amp system offers the following features, allowing direct operation of the exclu- sive speaker unit for each frequency range by an exclusive power amplifier. +_Itis possible to reduce the modulation distortion rate since high-range signals are not effected by strong signals in the low range. + Asitis possible to select amplifiers and speakers to suit the characteristics of each fre- quency range, the load on each unit is reduced, ensuring optimum performance. Under the multi-amp system, it is necessary to divide the audio signals into each frequency range (band) and strictly control the set up conditions, using the network. Under this system, the audio unit incorporates a network. The following adjustments can be conducted within the vehicle. + Time alignment adjustment function : adjusts for the difference in the distance between the listener and each speaker unit. + Filter function : sets up a low pass filter and high pass filter to decide the reproduced frequency band, the level and the phase of each speaker unit. As the audio signals are processed in the form of digital signals when the network is work- ing, the sound characteristics that best fit the vehicle interior may be created without any deterioration in sound quality.

etwork> Time alignment adjustment <T.A.> (Open state) In the vehicle, the different speaker units are at widely differing distances from the listener. The sounds from the speakers therefore reach the listener at different times. When a multi-amp system is set up, this causes different delays for each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass-ranges), marring the position of the sound image and the overall balance and disturbing the frequency characteristics. The time alignment adjustment function is able to synchronize the arrival times of the dif- ferent sounds by delaying the output of signals from the closest speaker units.

Measuring the distance to be corrected (Delay Time) It is necessary to calculate the delay time to correct the time differences between speaker units. In order to adjust the time alignment adjustment function more easily, this system allows the delay time to be set up by simply inputting the difference in the distance between speaker units (the distance to be corrected). (The delay time will be automatically calculated by this system.) Although the distance from each speaker unit varies depending on the position of the listener, the first set up is made for the driver’s seat. If the set up has been made for the driver’s seat, the optimum delay time for the listener’s position can be set up by simply switching the position selector function (refer to page 15) to the listening position. (This system automatically calculates and sets up the optimum delay time for each position.)

Important points in adjusting cut-off frequen( + Ifthe subwoofer is installed in the rear tray, setting a high cut-off frequency of L.P.F. of the subwoofer separates the bass and gives the listener the feeling that the bass is coming from behind. The L.P.F. of the subwoofer is recommended to be set at 100 Hz or below. Speakers used for mid and high-ranges are generally constructed to handle a limited level of input compared to low range speakers. If the cut-off frequency of H.P.F. is set lower than necessary, strong bass signals can reach the speaker and may damage it. Important points in adjusting the level + The low band, because of its sound frequency characteristics, incorporates the basic frequencies of many musical instruments. It is recommended that the level adjustment of the low band be made first, and then the level adjustment of the mid, high, and subwoofer be made in that order.

In this case, adjust the cut-off frequency to 20 Hz to 40 Hz and adjust the slope to —18 dB/oct. to -72 dB/oct. If the subwoofer is installed in the rear tray, setting up the slope of the low pass filter gently (6 dBoct. , 12 dB/oct.) gives the listener the feeling that the sound dwindles to the rear, with a resultant distortion of the forward sound image position. It is recommended to set the slope at -18 dB/oct. or more and set the cut-off frequency to 100 Hz or below. Adjusting the low-range effectively + When the subwoofer is connected and low-ranges are reproduced by small speaker unites such as 10 cm or less than 13 cm in diameter, setting the low-range H.P.F. as PASS may increase the dis- tortion when strong bass signals enter. Should this occur, set up H.P.F. to avoid interference with the subwoofer. Adjusting the high-range effectively + Depending on the speaker units installed, bass signals for the tweeter (about 2 KHz or below) may cause distortion as the high pass filter is being adjusted. If this happens, set a sharp slope of —18 dB/oct. to -72 dB/oct. In this case, choose such settings that the mid-range and tweeter do not become separated. The low pass filter is generally set to PASS. However, if the ultratreble band falls harshly on the ear, itis possible to set up a more gentle slope of about -6 dB/oct.

Connecting the Units WARNING For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving conditions, keep the volume low enough so that you can still hear normal traffic sound. Check the connections of the power supply and speakers if the fuse of the battery wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Detect the cause and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with another one of the same size and rating. To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and speak- ers, the protective circuit will cut the power supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an abnor- mal condition occurs. In such a case, switch the power to the system OFF and check the connection of the power supply and speakers. Detect the cause and solve the problem. Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause. To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit during connection and installation, be sure 10 disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery beforehand. Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when drilling a hole for installation of this unit. Be sure to protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical wiring. from damage. CAUTION Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. When replacing a fuse, be sure 10 use only fuses of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder. The clear/black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products such as power amps. If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire. When this products source is switched ON, a con- trol signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect 10 an external power amp's system remote control (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead 10 the amp’s power terminal. To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector and optical connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the con- nectors of the same colors correctly + Cords for this product and those for other prod- ucts may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this prod- uct 10 another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function. This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre- ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure 10 disconnect the © battery cable before beginning installation. Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con- necting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake, and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insula- tion of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a dan- ger of the wiring Short-circuiting to the vehicle body. Don't pass the clear/red lead through a hole into the engine compartment 10 connect 10 the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause à very dangerous short. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.

Routing the optical cable Note: Try not to bend the optical cable sharply. If it is necessary 10 bend it sharply, make sure that the bending radius is at least 25 mm, otherwise the cable will not transfer signals properly and so this unit will not work properly. Route the optical cable so that nothing heavy rests on it, and so that it cannot be stepped on or caught in anything — for instance, a door. Make a loop of diameter at least 200 mm with the remaining optical cable so that the cable does not get strained from being bent sharply Route the optical cable so that it does not get caught in moving parts such as the gear shift, hand brake, or seat sliding mechanism. Keep the cable away from hot spots, such as near the heater out- let.
