The slightest movement while driving and passengers sitting in the car (including the driver) all contribute to poor acoustical characterization. While all this is going on, the possibility of being distracted and causing an accident, is too obvious to even mention. Don't do it! Read following provisions before calibrating MultEQ. · Calibrate MultEQ in a setting with no background noises (or, at least very little). Turn off the engine, airconditioner, heater and anything else that could make noises during testing. For example, a phone (any type as long as it can make noises to attract your attention) or dog (any breed for the same reason) shouldn't be left in or around the vehicle. Any extraneous noises prevent accurate characterization of the vehicle. · Use only the microphone supplied with this unit for calibration. It has been specifically selected for optimum performance during the calibration procedure. · If amplifiers are being used to drive any of the speakers in the system, make sure the gains are set at optimum levels for normal listening. Additional adjustments may be required if initial calibration is not satisfactory. · If an amplifier is being used to drive satellites in a 2-way system (satellite/subwoofer), the high-pass filter used for the satellite amplifier must be turned off before running MultEQ calibration. If a low-pass filter is built into a powered subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier, turn it off (if possible) or set the cut-off frequency to the highest possible value. · Once MultEQ calibration is completed, MX, X-OVER, Time Correction, User's EQ, Parametric EQ and Graphic EQ are adjusted according to MultEQ's parameters. While MultEQ is on, they cannot be adjusted independently. · Storing the MultEQ settings in the PXA-H100 erases any data previously saved from earlier calibrations. MultEQ Calibration 1 Preparing for calibration · · · · Park the vehicle in a quiet location. Set the air-conditioner and heater to OFF. 2 Turn ignition switch of the vehicle to ACC (on). 3-EN · If an air-conditioner or heater is turned on, turn it off. Measurement should not be performed if air-conditioner or heater noise is present. 3 Activate IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER installed on the PC, and then select PXA-H100. · Strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions written by the manufacturers of your PC and peripheral equipment. · We do not accept responsibility for data lost due to the incorrect operation of the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER. We recommend you to back-up your important data regularly. 4 Place the Measurement Microphone in the vehicle according to the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER on screen instructions. Start the measurement. · Perform PC operation outside the vehicle. · If an error occurs during calibration, refer to the "Message List" at the end of this manual to help resolve the problem.
