Auto Time Correction (AUTO TCR)
By clicking this button, measurement and analysis are automatically executed by the connected
measuring microphone, and the Time Correction (TCR) is performed automatically. In this case,
mount the microphone near to the listening position(s).
CAUTION
• Preparations must be made before performing the automatic adjustment procedure (Refer to the Owner’s
Manual, page 12).
• With the automatic adjustments, the average delay time within the speakers’ playable frequency range is
measured. Measurements may not be possible when using special speakers or in special playback environments.
If this is the case, perform the adjustments manually.
• The Auto Time Correction cannot be performed if the supplied microphone is not connected.
• Before performing automatic adjustment, set the head unit to TUNER mode.

Auto Time Correction (AUTO TCR) restrictions
When you operate AUTO TCR with this software, you should not conduct head unit operations until the
AUTO TCR termination message is displayed by this software. Terminate this software to restart (ACC OFF/
ON) the PXI-H990 after the AUTO TCR operation is completed. If you turn ACC OFF before terminating
this software, your PC may freeze and require restarting.
The AUTO TCR setting may not finish, and an error (ERR) may be displayed for some cars (when there is a
lot of reflected sound in the car, or when the microphone and the speakers are far apart in a large car). In this
case, adjust the setting manually.
Manual Adjustment

What is Media Xpander (MX)?
MX adds information that was lost at the time of compression. This results in a well-balanced
sound close to the original (e.g., MP3 and WMA or MD and MDLP forms). The Harmonics control
can be used to reintroduce low frequencies lost in the compression process, guaranteeing a consistently vibrant sound in your car.
As for DVD, vivid sound and images are reproduced in powerful expressions and rich music.

L Using Road-EQ
Road-EQ
What is Road EQ (REAL-TIME OPTIMIZED ADAPTIVE DRIVING EQ)?
The sound signal and car noise are recorded with the microphone, and the differences between the
original audio signal and the recorded noise are diminished.
The output signal is corrected for each frequency and the car noise is compensated by comparing
the signal after diminishing the difference.
Natural equalization in real-time is achieved. As a result, noise is compensated for while the car is
running and a comfortable, natural, and powerful sound is reproduced.
In this software, only the ON/OFF mode of Road EQ is available.
Set the Road-EQ to “ON” when:
• you ride with the top down in a convertible.
• you drive on a road with many tunnels.
• you drive with open windows.
• you drive at high-speed.
• you drive on rough roads that generate noise in the car.

The Bi-Phantom function creates a virtual center speaker.
In this mode, on/off of Bi-Phantom and level setting can be performed. This function regards the
setting valid only in the following conditions.

Bass Management
Generally, the center speaker of an in-vehicle audio system is a small diameter type, for which it is
difficult to reproduce the low-frequency range. Bass Split enables such low frequencies to be heard
in the center sound field by splitting them into both left and right speakers.
This mode turns Bass Split on and off. You can also adjust the crossover frequency.
The default settings are Bass Split: Off; Frequency: 315Hz.

REAR MIX combines the sound of the rear speakers with those of the front (low range).
This function is invalid when Rear Fill is on. In this mode, you can set Rear Mix on or off.
