5. DCP
The control panel can be detached to prevent
theft. When detaching the control panel, store it
in the DCP (DETACHABLE CONTROL PANEL)
case to prevent scratches.
Attaching the DCP
1. Place the DCP to the SLOPING CONSOLE,
adjusting the metal connecters on DCP and
the SLOPING CONSOLE.
We recommend taking the DCP with you when
leaving the car.
2. Press the DCP until it clicks into the
SLOPING CONSOLE.

3. Move the DCP detaching slider to the
“LOCK” side.
CAUTION
• If the slider is on the [RELEASE] side and
the DCP is not locked into place, it may fall
out from vibration of the car. This can break
the DCP, so after removing it, either firmly
reattach it on the unit or put it in its DCP
case.
∗ The SLOPING CONSOLE without DCP
closes automatically in a few seconds.
• The connector connecting the unit and the
DCP is an extremely important part. Be
careful not to damage it by pressing on it
with fingernails, screwdrivers, etc.
Note:
CAUTION
• If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry
cloth only.
• Do not try to remove or attach while
driving.
• The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.
After removing it, be careful not to drop it
or subject it to strong shocks.
• If you purchased a replacement DCP, an
electrical adjustment is necessary.
This adjustment requires technical
knowledge.

● Compensation
There is no need to compensate frequency
characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or
valleys) when you have measured the frequency
characteristics with a measuring device.
However, sometimes the frequency
characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this
happens, the frequency characteristics must be
compensated. Create a frequency curve having
characteristics that are opposite to the center
frequency of parts where the characteristics rise
and fall to cancel out these peaks and values,
and make the frequency characteristics as flat
as possible.
