Zrullac Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Does anyone have or know where I can find a CD that has a test track for all audio channels on my AVIC-D1. I have a bad feeling that my installer may have crossed some wires during the install and I want to be able to load a CD that will broadcast a tone or whatever on each individual audio channel to see if the thing is wired correctly.

whtcrxghst Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Why not just move the balance and fader to each corner of the car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zrullac Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Why not just move the balance and fader to each corner of the car? That doesn't test the individual audio tracks. If the unit is not wired correctly you will still get sound out of each speaker but not necessarily the correct track from the original source format. I need a cd that will broadcast a test tone for each channel independently. ie: front left, front right, rear left, rear right, and sub woofer. Hopefully we have an audiophile out there that knows what I'm talking about and can steer me in the right direction. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 What? Use the fade/balance. It does the same thing. Set the fader to the front left speaker while playing some music. If it plays out of any other speaker, it's hooked up incorrectly. Do the same thing for the 3 other speakers. I don't see why you need a special CD when all you have to do is this.

Wrong board to ask this question obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 one problem with what you're trying to do. Cds read by the avic are in 2 channel stereo. The avic then takes those 2 channels an replicates them for front and rear output. now if you're talking about crossover point's that's a completely different matter. And by the sound of your question, that's actually what you're looking for. Best and cheapest bet for something like that would be to find a program that can create .wavs at whatever frequency you're looking for. Then burn those wavs to a cd. My favorite program for that is Cool Edit Pro. Though I don't beleive it's made anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I just fail to see how using a CD that plays a signal only to a certain channel is any different than using the fader to send the signal only to the same channel. The only thing that the CD method would diagnose that the fader method wouldn't would be if the signals somehow got swapped INSIDE the unit, which can't happen. Or... I just could be misunderstanding what you're trying to do here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Odds are you guys are misunderstanding each other. LF, RF, LR, and RR outputs don't exist on a standard audio cd or mp3 cd. Which are all a d1/2 can play. Using a tone cd to play test tones through the audio system to verify crossover points on the other hand is possible, and can be done quite easily. The only cavaet is test tones can very easily/quickly damage speakers if they're played for any length of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Oh. OK. So it's a question about testing crossover slopes/frequencies for each channel, not whether each channel is going to the correct speaker. I got it now. Sorry. My bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 It's the only thing that makes sense, at least in my ability to translate incorrect terminology goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Maybe he's worried that his installer switched the wires between the D/A processor and the audio pre-amplifier. Because that is an easy mistake. In crazy town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cntrylvr79 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 That'd could be kind of fun thing to do. open up an avic, cut the circuit traces between the 2 and just randomly reconnect them with jumpers. whtcrxghst - 2000 flushes to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
