Adjusting the equaliser curve automatically (Auto EQ)

By measuring the vehicle's acoustics, the equaliser curve can be adjusted automatically to suit the vehicle interior.

WARNING

A loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the vehicle's acoustics. Never perform Auto EQ measurement while driving.

CAUTION

  • Thoroughly check the conditions before performing Auto EQ as the speakers may be damaged if this is performed under the following conditions:
  • When the speakers are incorrectly connected. (For example, when a rear speaker is connected as a subwoofer output.)
  • When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speaker's maximum input power capability.
  • If a microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately) is not placed in the appropriate location, the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

▶ Before operating the Auto EQ function

  • Perform Auto EQ in a quiet place with the vehicle engine and air conditioning switched off. Also, cut the power of car phones or mobile phones in the vehicle, or remove them in advance. Surrounding sounds may prevent correct measurement of the vehicle's acoustics.
  • Be sure to use the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately). Using other microphones may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the vehicle's acoustics.
    • To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers must be connected.
  • When this product is connected to a power amp with input level control, Auto EQ may be impossible if the power amp's input level is set below the standard level.
  • When this product is connected to a power amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn the LPF off before performing Auto EQ. Also, set the cutoff frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.
  • The distance has been calculated by a computer to provide optimum delay to ensure accurate results. Do not change this value.
    The reflected sound within the vehicle is strong and delay occurs.
    The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds.
  • If an error occurs during measurement, check the following before measuring the vehicle's acoustics.
  • Front speakers (left/right)
  • Rear speakers (left/right)
    -Noise
  • Microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately)
  • Low battery

▶ Performing Auto EQ

CAUTION

Do not turn off the engine while the measurement is in progress.

NOTES

• Auto EQ changes the audio settings as follows:

- The fader/balance settings return to the centre position (page 46).

- Previous settings for Auto EQ will be overwritten.

1 Stop the vehicle in a quiet place, close all doors, windows, and sun roof, and then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct Auto EQ.

NOTE

If driving restrictions are detected during measurement, the measurement is cancelled.

PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT - NOTE - 1

Important safeguards

PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT - Important safeguards - 1

WARNING

Pioneer does not recommend that you install this product yourself. This product is designed for professional installation only. We recommend that only authorised Pioneer service personnel, who have special training and experience in mobile

electronics, set up and install this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing this product and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards, and can cause damage to this product that is not covered by warranty.

Precautions before connecting the system

PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT - Precautions before connecting the system - 1

WARNING

Do not take any steps to tamper with or disable the handbrake interlock system which is in place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the handbrake interlock system could result in serious injury or death.

PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.
  • Do not directly connect the yellow lead of this product to the vehicle battery. If the lead is directly connected to the battery, engine vibration may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. If the yellow lead's insulation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur, resulting in considerable danger.
  • It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring away in such so that they will not obstruct or hinder driving.

  • Make sure that the cables and wires will not interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle's moving parts, especially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehicle's controls.

  • Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the insulation heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunction and permanent damage to the product.
  • Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
  • Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of this product and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

Before installing this product

  • Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative earthing only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
  • To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (−) battery cable before installation.

To prevent damage

PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT - To prevent damage - 1

WARNING

  • Use speakers over 50 W (maximum input power) and between 4 Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use 1 Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this product.
  • The black lead is earth. When installing this unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure to connect the earth wire first. Ensure that the earth wire is properly

connected to metal parts of the car's body. The earth wire of the power amp and the one of this unit or any other device must be connected to the car separately with different screws. If the screw for the earth wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire generation of smoke or malfunction.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit.

  • For connecting a power amp or other devices to this product, refer to the manual for the product to be connected.
    • The graphical symbol placed on the product means direct current.

Notice for the blue/white lead

- When the ignition switch is turned on (ACC ON), a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amp's system remote control terminal, the auto-aerial relay control terminal, or the aerial booster power control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The control signal is output through the blue/white lead, even if the audio source is switched off.

Important When this product is in [Power OFF] mode, the control signal is also turned off. If [Power OFF] mode is cancelled, the control signal is output again and the aerial is extended with the auto aerial function (if the aerial is being used). Be careful so that the extended aerial does not come into contact with any obstacles.

Using the LCD screen correctly

Handling the LCD screen

  • When the LCD screen is subjected to direct sunlight for a long period of time, it will become very hot, resulting in possible damage to the LCD screen. When not using this product, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible.
    • The LCD screen should be used within the temperature ranges shown in Specifications (page 71).
  • Do not use the LCD screen at temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range, because the LCD screen may not operate normally and could be damaged.
  • The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not press strongly on it as this may damage it.
  • Do not push the LCD screen with excessive force as this may scratch it.
  • Never touch the LCD screen with anything besides your finger when operating the touch panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch easily.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

  • If the LCD screen is near the vent of an air conditioner, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from the heater may break the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside this product, resulting in possible damage.
  • Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a malfunction.
    • The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
  • When using a mobile phone, keep the aerial of the mobile phone away from the LCD screen to prevent disruption of the video in the form of disturbances such as spots or coloured stripes.

Maintaining the LCD screen

  • When removing dust from or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn this product off and then wipe the screen with a soft dry cloth.
  • When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

LED (light-emitting diode) backlight

A light emitting diode is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen.

- At low temperatures, using the LED backlight may increase image lag and degrade the image quality because of the characteristics of the LCD screen. Image quality will improve with an increase in temperature.

• The product lifetime of the LED backlight is more than 10 000 hours. However, it may decrease if used in high temperatures.
- If the LED backlight reaches the end of its product lifetime, the screen will become dimmer and the image will no longer be visible. In that case, please consult your dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer Service Station.
