bird333 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have read the brief explanation in the manual (not much help). The problem is everytime I change one band and switch to another; the previous band moves to something else. Is it not possible to change each band individually? Also what is 'Q' level for?

jimmy303 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 The equalizer in your AVIC is a parametric equalizer, which means that you can not only control the amplitude(volume) of each selected band, but the center frequency, as well. The "Q" refers to the affected bandwidth of your controllable equalization band. Physically speaking, Q is 2π times the ratio of the total energy stored divided by the energy lost in a single cycle or equivalently the ratio of the stored energy to the energy dissipated per one radian of the oscillation. Equivalently (for large values of Q), the Q factor is approximately the number of oscillations required for a freely oscillating system's energy to fall off to 1 / e2π, or about 1/535, of its original energy. When the system is driven by a sinusoidal drive, its resonant behavior depends strongly on Q. Resonant systems respond to frequencies close to their natural frequency much more strongly than they respond to other frequencies. A system with a high Q resonates with a greater amplitude (at the resonant frequency) than one with a low Q factor, and its response falls off more rapidly as the frequency moves away from resonance.

bird333 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks for the responce. Yes, I would like to know more (in English, I'm a dummy when it comes to this ). This is weird because Pioneer says this shouldn't be happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wait, lemme get this straight. Once you set up a band on your EQ(freq, Q, and amplitude), and move to the next band for adjustment, the previous settings change on their own? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have done the video bypass if that makes any difference. I am gonna try to check the forum more often, sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sounds like you need an exorcist, not a technician... Has this unit ever been exposed to anything detrimental, i.e.: water. lightning, severe impacts, nuclear testing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird333 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 It was brand new in the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ummm, get it replaced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
