User manual PIONEER DEH-1320MP

[. . . ] All the functions have been designed for the easiest possible use, but many are not self-explanatory. This operation manual will help you benefit fully from this units potential and to maximize your listening enjoyment. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the functions and their operation by reading through the manual before you begin using this unit. It is especially important that you read and observe precautions noted on this page and in other sections. ! [. . . ] 2 Press a or b to adjust front/rear speaker balance. Each press of a or b moves the front/rear speaker balance towards the front or the rear. FAD: F25 FAD: R25 is displayed as the front/ rear speaker balance moves from front to rear. !Initial is the factory supplied time alignment. Custom is an adjusted time alignment that you can create for yourself. Auto TA is the time alignment created by auto TA and EQ. (Refer to Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing) on page 49. ) # You cannot select Auto TA when NW mode has been selected. This indicates that you cannot select Auto TA if auto TA and EQ has not been carried out. # FAD:FR00 is the proper setting when only two speakers are used. Adjusting the time alignment You can adjust the distance between each speaker and the selected position. An adjusted time alignment is memorized in Custom. Press AUDIO until TA. 1 appears in the display. 2 Press a or b to select a unit of distance. Remember that if Mid HPF or High HPF cutoff frequency is set lower than required, strong bass signal input may damage the speaker. Level adjustment The basic frequencies of many musical instruments are in the middle range. First perform middle-range level adjustment, followed by high-range and then low-range level adjustment in that order. If you set a small absolute value for the slope (for a gentle slope), interference between adjacent speaker units can easily result in degraded frequency response. If you set a large absolute value for the slope (for a steep slope), continuity of sound between speaker units is degraded, and sounds appear to be separated. Reproduced frequency band Adjusting the HPF (high-pass filter) or LPF (low-pass filter) cut-off frequency lets you set the reproduced frequency band for each speaker unit. The HPF cuts frequencies (low) below the set frequency, letting high frequencies through. The LPF cuts frequencies (high) above the set frequency, letting low frequencies through. Level The difference in reproduced levels between speaker units can be corrected. Slope Adjusting the HPF/LPF slope (filter attenuation slope) lets you adjust the continuity of sound between speaker units. The slope indicates the number of decibels (dB) the signal is attenuated when the frequency is one octave higher (lower) (Unit: 42 En Section Audio Adjustments 08 !(Pass), the audio signal bypasses the filter, so the filter does not have an effect.
