Tum the ESP-3's Spatial Restoration and Image Amplification Controls all the

way to the LEFT (7 o'clock position) and pull the Image Amplification knob out. The LED

on the remote should be on

now.

Now pop in a tape or CD and tum the system up to a pleasant listening level.

Do you hear silence instead of sound? If so, check the wires from the head end

unit to the ESP-3, or the ESP-3 to the power amplifier. Make sure the Power LED on the

main unit is on.

Make certain the Image Amplification knob is pulled out and turned to the left.

Now rotate the ESP-3 Spatial Restoration Control to the right (toward MAX). Do you hear

wonderfully wide stereo with the sound actually wider than the confines of the vehicle? If

so, the basic connections have been made correctly. If you hear sound, but nothing

different even though you've turned the Image Control all the way up, check all connections

including the one between the ESP-3 main chassis and the dashboard Control. Also check

that you pulled out the knob on the dash control. If the LED is glowing brightly on the dash

control and you do not hear a difference, check to see if you have used the THRU jacks by

mistake

Now check the center channel

speaker.

Tum the Image Amplification knob to-

wards the right. Is sound coming out of center speaker? If you're not getting any sound,

check the signal and speaker hook-ups, make sure the center channel power amplifier is on,

etc.

Most likely, sound WILL be coming from the center channel. Adjust the CENTER

LEVEL MATCH control if it is too loud or too soft. Remember, we're just going for an

approximation.

SAGE ADVICE from the old Performance Matcher in the Sky: The first inclination is

to tum up the center channel too loud. Like the first time you get a subwoofer (either at

home or in a car), you crank it at a high, obvious level for a few days and then realize that

you're overdoing it. Try to go for a level that BLENDS the center with left and right. Like

a subwoofer, it should be "there" but unobtrusive.

Now with the controls cranked back to the left (off) position, rotate the head unit's

balance control to the far left. Does the sound in the car move to the left? If the sound

heads to the starboard (right for you landlubbers), the RIGIIT and LEFT inputs or outputs

need to

checked at the ESP-3 and power amp(s). General practice is to use RED plugs

for RIGHT and BLACK (or White) plugs for left. Make sure Llfl' is LEFT all the way on

through from the head unit to the power amplifier inputs. If the problem persists, tear your

seats out, tum them the other way and only drive your car in reyerse.

APING CONTROLS

On the top of the ESP-3 are three "tone" controls. NOTE: They only affect the spatial

restoration (ambience) effects added by the ESP-3, NOT the overall sound OR the center

channel.

·MID, TREBLE and BASS ESP-3 controls really have two different purposes: First,

they can

used to compensate for various speaker inStallations. If you have OK treble but

not as good as we've recommended, you can adjust the TREBLE EQ on the ESP-3 control

to boost the high-frequency ambient

products.

If the ESP-3's effect is not pronounced

enough, kick up the

MIDRANGE.

If your system is really bass-heavy and the ESP-3's

effect sounds weird through the subwoofers, reduce the BASS, etc. Second, the

controls

can be used purely to change the effect of the

ESP-3.

In other words, use your own taste.

Go nuts!
