Basic Operation Displaying Time g DN BAND MODE (Rotary encoder) 1 Press the CLK (clock) button repeatedly until the time is displayed.
Setting the Bass Control 2-2 Setting the treble Level: Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired Treble Level (–7~+7). You can emphasize the treble frequency. You can change the Bass Frequency emphasis to create your own tonal preference. 1 NOTES • If no buttons are pressed within 5 seconds, the Treble control setting will be turned off automatically. • The settings of the Treble Level will be individually memorized for each source (FM, AM, XM, CD, etc.) until the setting is changed.
Basic Operation Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram at the left. BAND Conditions: Farthest Speaker – listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16") Front left speaker – listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16") Calculation: L = 2.25 m – 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8") Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343* × 1000 = 5.1 (ms) *Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C Rotary encoder In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.
Bass Focus The time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers, can be adjusted at the same time. With an initial delay of 0.3 ms for each of the 0 to 39 steps, audible time correction can be done. For finer adjustment, use the procedure in the previous section "Time Correction," for which the delay steps are 0.1 ms. 1 Example of Steps 2 and 3 Setting (1) After entering corrections for the front (left and right) speakers in STEP 5, the time difference is 1.
Basic Operation Setting the MX Mode MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The radio, CD, and MP3, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise. SOURCE BAND DISP/B. OUT Rotary encoder/Q.
