We recommend that you use a familiar mu-  
sic CD for adjustment of the filters. The MD/

is not suitable for evaluation purposes, since  
the original sound is not known.

The subjective sound impression can be  
improved considerably by suppression or  
amplification of certain frequency ranges by  
the car radio.  
Press << or >> once or several times  
to select a different frequency and to  
adjust the level accordingly.  
Before adjusting the equalizer, set the bass,  
treble, balance and fader to “0”.  
Press DPE or EXIT to save the select-  
ed level and to return to the DPE main  
menu.  
This unit is equipped with two parametric fil-  
ters. The first filter, “LOW EQ”, can be ad-  
justed from 32 to 500 Hz, the second, “HIGH  
EQ”, from 630 to 10 000 Hz. In this case,  
parametric means that one frequency can  
be increased or reduced for each of the two  
filters (+10 to -20 dB). The bandwidth/qual-  
ity of the two filters can also be adjusted.  
This setting is described in the condensed  
instructions under 8 AUD.  
Press DPE or EXIT again to close the  
DPE menu.  
Now listen to the MD/CD with which you are  
familiar.
