Notes on making the settings  
Press << or >> once and  
The acoustic characteristics of the car in-  
terior affect the quality of the sound repro-  
duced in your vehicle to a much greater ex-  
tent than the speakers.  
Set the level in the following table by  
pressing / .  
The following notes are intended as recom-  
mendations only. They do not necessarily  
reflect your own personal sound prefe-  
rences.  
Press << >> to switch the frequency  
range.  
Position, installation and the rear volumes  
of, for example, the door or rear window  
shelf all play an important role.  
We recommend that you use a music CD  
you are familiar with to make the settings.  
The CD should include tracks with different  
instruments and vocals. Purely electronic  
music is not well suited to serve as a basis  
for making the settings because the original  
sounds cannot be determined.  
Press  
to store your settings.  
You can switch the equaliser on and off by  
pressing AUD for approx. 2 seconds.  
Even the sound produced by well selected  
and installed speakers can be affected ne-  
gatively by resonance frequencies in the  
vehicle interior.  
Now you can compare the sound produced  
by your car radio with and without the equa-  
liser.  
As a result, the bass sounds may be lost or  
reverberate, the mid-range tones sound too  
overpowering and music instruments or  
voices may be distorted or the total sound  
quality may be completely lifeless.  
Before you set the equaliser, set bass, treb-  
le, balance and fader to 0.  
This setting is described in the Quick Refe-  
rence under A AUD.  
The overall sound quality can be greatly  
enhanced if certain frequencies are suppres-  
sed or boosted.  
Now listen to the CD you have selected.  
Evaluate the sound according to your own  
personal preferences.  
This car radio has been equipped with a  
parametric filter. The LOW EQfilter can  
be set from 32 to 500 Hz. In this context,  
parametric means that it is possible to set  
the frequency for the filter and either boost  
or reduce it (+10 to -20 dB) individually.  
Now refer to Sound impression/problemin  
the table and you will find suggestions to  
eliminate any problems under What to do.  
Make the settings for bass and the lower  
mid-range tones with the LOW EQ filter.  
The LOW EQfilters can be set in the DSC  
menu:  
This parametric filter can be adjusted to very  
exact settings even without the help of  
measuring instruments.  
Press DSC.  
Press as often as necessary until  
LOW EQappears in the display.  
The individual steps required to make the-  
se settings are described in the table.
