Instruction Manual

Operation modes
This unit features two operation modes: the 3-
way network mode (NW) and the standard
mode (STD). You can switch between modes
as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to
the standard mode (STD). (Refer to Switching
the DSP setting mode on page 7.)
! The 3-way network mode (NW) lets you cre-
ate a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker sys-
tem with separate speakers for
reproduction of high, middle and low fre-
quencies (bands), each driven by a dedi-
cated power amp. The 3-way network mode
provides network and time alignment func-
tions, two functions essential for a multi-
amp, multi-speaker system, to enable pre-
cise control over settings for each fre-
quency range.
! The standard mode (STD) lets you create a
4-speaker system with front and rear speak-
ers, or a 6-speaker system with front and
rear speakers and subwoofers.
Important
! When no power is supplied to this unit be-
cause of a change of the car battery or for
some similar reason, the microcomputer of
this unit is returned to its initial condition. If
this happens, all memorized adjusted audio
settings are erased. When you have com-
pleted audio setting adjustment, be sure to re-
cord the settings shown on page 75.
