 S.Bass is a curve in which only low-pitched sound is boosted.
 Powerful is a curve in which low- and high-pitched sounds
are boosted.

Natural is a curve in which low- and high-pitched sounds
are slightly boosted.
 Vocal is a curve in which the midrange, which is the human
vocal range, is boosted.
 Flat is a flat curve in which nothing is boosted.

Custom1 is an adjusted equalizer curve that you create. If
you select this curve, the effect is applied to all AV sources.
 Custom2 is an adjusted equalizer curve that you create. If
you select this curve, the effect is applied to all AV sources.

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 exam-
ple, 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 an 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 as quiet a place as possible, with the
vehicle engine and air conditioning switched off. Also, cut
power to car phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or
