PRESET EQUALrZATION
The Preset Equalization buttons let you adjust the tone, to sound just the
way you want it. Each individual auto-equalization button (A through E)
contains a separate equalization adjustment feature.
When your vehicle
is new, the auto-equalization is already preset with
Preset A having more bass and treble tone than mid-range tone. Preset
B
has more bass than treble and mid-range tone. Preset C has an overall flat
response in sound. Preset
D has more treble than bass and mid-range,
and Preset
E has more mid-range sound than bass and treble. These
preset settings can be modified individually for
AM, FM, cassette or
CD play.
Follow these steps to modify each
of the Preset Auto-equalization
buttons.

will flash. In the farthest right position of the display will be an “F”
(for factory setting), or if the equalization has been modified, a “U”
(for user setting).

the mode is first entered.
A typical setting for a flat response is 7.

Now each time you push that push button, the Preset Equalization is set
in memory for that station.

Suppose you like classical music with a flat sounding tone. The station has
already been preset to push button
3. Since the flat response is on button
C, you would just:
Push the preset push button 3.
Push the tone control button C.
Now, push the SET button.
Push the tone control button C again.
~ Push the Preset push button 3 again and your Preset Equalization is
set in memory.
Now every time you push the preset push button
3, the Preset
Equalization tone is programmed to that preset push button. Tuning to
the station already preset to
3 using the knob, or Seek or Scan, the tone
control will automatically change to
C. The Preset Equalization button
will light when it is programmed to a particular push button or when
manually
pushed in.
