The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific
frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s centre frequency can be tuned
to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are
fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The
parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious
audiophiles.

• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric
equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the
Speakers” (page 44).
• It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7
steps.
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable
frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz
or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and
damage the speakers.
• When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ
becomes ineffective.

connected, connect the subwoofer to the subwoofer output terminal
of PXA-H700 or PXA-H701.

Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM)
In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly between
the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre channel
information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an
acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front of each
listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro
Logic II Mode” on page 42), makes this function ineffective.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding
or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this
adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the Decode mode is switched.
Touch [] or [] of BI-PHANTOM to adjust the level.
The level can be adjusted within the range of -5 to +5. The
higher the level, the more the position of the centre speaker is
shifted to the sides.
The BI-PHANTOM function is turned off by touching [OFF].
• This adjustment is effective when the setting of the centre speaker to
SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings.
• This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set CENTER to
OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 44).
Mixing bass sound to the rear channel (REAR MIX)
This function mixes the front channel audio signals to the audio signals
output from the rear speakers, improving the sound in the vehicle’s rear
seat.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding
or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this
adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the Decode mode is switched.
Touch [] or [] of REAR MIX to adjust the level.
The level can adjusted in five steps: -6, -3, 0, +3 and +6. The
higher the level, the more bass is output from the rear speakers.
(The effect differs according to the software (DVD, etc.).)
The REAR MIX function is turned off by touching [OFF].
• This adjustment is ineffective when the rear speaker setup setting is
set to “OFF”.
• For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker
regardless of the REAR FILL and REAR MIX setting.
