Check that Defeat mode is off (page 21).
2
Press and hold MUTE for at least 2 seconds. 
The audio processor control mode is activated.
3
Select the X-OVER mode by pressing MUTE 
repeatedly.
4
Select L+R or L/R by pressing and holding BAND for 
at least 2 seconds.
5
Select the desired channel by pressing 
 or 
then press MODE.
When L+R is selected :
FRONT 1 
 FRONT 2 
 REAR 
 CENTER 
 SUBWOOFER

• The speakers display differs, depending on the connected speakers.
6
Adjust the cut-off frequency of H.P.F. (HP FREQ) by 
turning the Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
The adjustable frequency range differs depending on the 
channels (speakers).
7
Adjust the slope of H.P.F. (HP SLOPE) by turning the 
Rotary encoder, and press MODE.
8
Adjust L.P.F. by performing steps 6 and 7.
9
Adjust the level (LEVEL) by turning the Rotary 
encoder, then press MODE.
Press the MODE to return to step 6.
10
To adjust other channels, repeat steps 5 to 9.
11
When the setting is complete, press and hold MUTE 
for at least 2 seconds. 
The unit returns to the normal mode.
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the X-OVER for that 
speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 36).
• Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before 
adjusting.
• In order to protect the speakers, there is no OFF setting for the 
subwoofer low pass filter (the slope remains the same).
• The H.P.F. filter cannot be set to OFF (slope OFF) if Tweeter is 
selected for FRONT1. Or, if subwoofer is set to STEREO, CENTER 
adjustment is affected by the subwoofer setting.
• When the setting is complete, it is recommended to store the setting 
contents. For storing, refer to page 43.
Performing Time Correction Manually 
(TCR)/ Phase Switching
Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there can be 
major differences in the distances between the various speakers and the 
listening position. It is possible to calculate the optimum correction 
values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself 
using this function.
1
Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for 
example) and measure the distance (in meters) 
between your head and the various speakers.
2
Calculate the difference in distance between the 
farthest speaker and the other speakers.
3
Divide the distances calculated for the different 
speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s 
temperature 20°C).
This value is the time correction value for the various 
speakers.
Concrete examples
Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on 
the diagram below.
L+R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right 
channels.
L/R:
Different adjustment values can be set for the left and 
right channels.
Calculating the Time Correction
L =
(distance of farthest speaker) 
– (distance of other speakers)
Conditions:
Distance between farthest speaker and listening position: 
2.25 m (88-3/4")
Distance between front left speaker and listening position: 
0.5 m (20")
Calculation: 
L = 2.25 m (88-3/4") – 0.5 m (20")= 1.75 m (68-3/4")
Compensation time = 1.75 ÷343 x 1000 = 5.1 (ms)
