GAIN CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn the Left and Right Gain controls all the way down
(counter-clockwise)
2. Set the volume control of the source unit to approximately
2
⁄3
of its maximum output
3. Turn the balance control of the source unit to its center position
4. Leave the tone (bass/treble) controls at their usual position
5. Play a CD or tape track with wide dynamic range
6. Use the Bass Boost Control to enhance the bass performance (if desired)
7. To locate the optimum input sensitivity setting, turn the Left and Right Gain controls
clockwise until audible distortion starts to develop. Turn the sensitivity control counter-
clockwise slightly to minimize the distortion.
8. If you often switch between sources (CD, tape, radio, etc.) you will need further adjustment
since radio output level differs from that of CD or tape. In this case, you need to locate a bal-
anced sensitivity setting which is best for the output level of your sources.
BASS BOOST CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Select a boost level between 0dB and +12dB to enhance the bass perfor-
mance for your sound system. Remember that every 3dB of boost costs you
twice as much in power. Make sure to set the final gains after setting the
Bass Boost to work best with your subwoofer/enclosure combination.
A.R.C.
Active Resonance Control (A.R.C.) is a level adjustment that reduces the
resonant frequencies inside the vehicle to improve the mid-range sound
quality. Turn this control clockwise or counter-clockwise until the vocals of
the music are up-front and centered in the vehicle. The mid-range sound
should be smooth and detailed.
