ENGLISH Before using The control unit for the PXA-H701 is sold separately. The operation method using this control unit (sold separately) is printed in this instruction manual. However, if you use head units such as the IVA-D300 series or the IVA-D900 series, you can also operate the PXA-H701 from these head units (Items such as AUTO TCR and navigation system voice guidance interruption settings can only be operated from the Control Unit). For more details on the head unit operation, see “Extern

Hint for adjusting the subwoofer • If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting a gentle L.P.F. slope (for example 6 dB/ oct.) makes the sound localization more to the rear. This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front. EN Hints for adjusting the high range • Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the H.P.F. adjustment could result in distortion. If so, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.). When doing so, adj
