This car stereo is equipped with 2 paramet-  
ric filters. The first filter “LOW EQ” can be  
set from 32 to 500 Hz, the second filter  
“HIGH EQ” from 630 to 10000 Hz. In this  
context, parametric means that it is possi-  
ble to set the frequency and either boost or  
reduce it (+10 to –20 dB) individually for  
each of these filters.  
Now listen to the CD you have selected.  
Evaluate the sound according to your own  
personal preferences.  
Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in  
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,  
select HIGH EQ for treble and mid-range  
tones.  
These parametric filters can be adjusted to  
very exact settings even without the help of  
measuring instruments.
