Before Setting MultEQ
I.&. WARNING
While driving, do not set up MultEQ.
To prevent accidents, do not set up MultEQ while driving. The setting of the MultEQ
function
is required to mount the microphone in the vehicle in order to measure sound
characteristics. Also, during measurement, loud measurement tone (signal) from the
speakers may be output. Making such settings may distract you from driving and result
in
an accident.
Read following provisions before setting MultEQ.
The MultEQ setting should be made in as quiet aplace as possible after turning off the engine, air-
conditioner and heater. If you have acar phone or cellular phone
in the vehicle, remove them from the
vehicle
or turn its power off. If sound other than measurement tone to be measured (engine or receiving
sound
of car phone, etc.) occur, sound measurement in the vehicle may not be accurate.
When setting MuItEQ, be sure to use the microphone supplied with this unit.
If amicrophone other than
the supplied one
is used, measurement may not be possible or sound measurement in the vehicle may not
be accurate.
If apower amplifier
or apowered subwoofer with an input level control is connected and this level is
lowered, measurement may not be possible. However, the input level should set lowered than normal
level to adequately perform measurement.
If apower amplifier with alow-pass filter is connected, measure MultEQ when the low-pass filter
of the
power amplifier is turned off. Ifalow-pass filter
is built into the powered subwoofer or power amplifier
for subwoofer, set the cut-off frequency to the highest value.
If MultEQ is set and the function is turned on, MX, X-OVER, Time Correction, User's EQ, Parametric
EQ and Graphic EQ are automatically adjusted. Therefore, they cannot be individually adjusted.
After you have stored the result
of MultEQ you adjusted in the CDA-9887/CDA-9887R, if you store the
results
of MultEQ again in the CDA-9887/CDA-9887R, the previously stored MultEQ will be
completely cleared and replaced by the new one.
