FEATURES

LANZAR HTGEPBT9H is a 4-band stereo equalizer/ crossover specically created for the mobile environment.

The HTGEPBT9H provides powerful features in a compact size:

• Four equalization bands, each frequency adjustable from -12 to +12dB (-15 to +15dB for subwoofer frequencies)
• Three stereo RCA outputs to drive front, rear, and subwoofer audio ampliers
• An auxiliary stereo RCA input for use with portable devices, such as an MP3 player or DVD player
• Separate controls for master volume, subwoofer volume (sub level), front/rear fader, and selection of main or auxiliary inputs
• Extended frequency response from 20Hz to 30kHz with exceptional 100dB signal-to-noise performance
• Gold-plated RCA connectors to ensure the best audio signal output
• ISO mounting holes and removable trim ring for custom installation
• Bass Driver: The HTGEPBT9H contains a Bass Driver circuit that accurately recreates and injects Low fre quency information back into the signal path. What that means in everyday terms is that the HTGEPBT9H will give more bass impact to your best compact discs or even your old tapes.
• Bass Equalization Circuit: The HTGEPBT9H has a unique equalization circuit that contours the restored base to your speaker systems.
• Bass Output Control: The HTGEPBT9H has the ability to produce large amount of deep, mind shattering bass without damaging your speakers. The Bass Output Control circuit allows the HTGEPBT9H to maximize the bass output of any auto sound audio system while restraining destructive bursts.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual.
• Do not disassemble or modify this unit.
• Do not pour liquid or poke foreign objects into the unit. Water and humidity may damage internal circuitry.
• If the unit becomes wet, turn o all power and ask your authorized LANZAR dealer to clean or service the unit.

Failure to observe these precautions may damage your ear, the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.

Installation

Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle. If you do not have the required knowledge and experience to successfully complete the installation, consult an authorized LANZAR dealer about professional installation options.

CONTROLS

OPERATIONS

Setting system volume

1. Turn the master volume and subwoofer level controls to their minimum settings.
2. Turn the source unit on and increase the volume until you hear distortion.
3. Reduce the volume to just below the distortion point (approximately 80% of full volume). This is the maximum usable musical signal for the source unit. Turning the volume beyond this point increases noise and distortion without increasing the musical signal.

Note:
Once you set the source unit volume, do not change it. Always use the volume control on the HTGEPBT9H as the master (main) volume control. The HTGEPBT9H has better electronics, a hig her sound to noise ratio, and is more linear than the volume settings on any source unit available.

Adjusting the Controls
The HTGEPBT9H provides a graphic adjustment band for each of four
frequency ranges:
sub,low, mid, mid-high and high frequency. You can adjust the center of each
frequency band to ne tune the acoustical response to your vehicle’s interior.

1. Set all frequencies to the center position. The small dot on the control knob should be set at 12 o’clock.
2. Play your favorite music track and adjust the individual controls to suit your taste. Avoid extreme settings, which can distort musical peaks.
3. Increase or decrease the equalizer gain controls to suit your taste.
4. If your system includes a subwoofer, slowly increase the subwoofer level until you hear a solid bass.
5. If your system includes rear speakers, adjust the fader control to add rear sound. Set it so most of the music comes from the front and only fills the rear.

Setting the low-pass frequency
Set the low pass frequency switch on the top of the HTGEPBT9H to either 60Hz or 90Hz depending on the subwoofer and subwoofer amplier requirements.

Connecting an MP3 player or video unit

1. Plug the MP3 player or video unit into the auxiliary RCA input on the back of the HTGEPBT9H unit.
2. Make sure the auxiliary button on the front of the unit is out, ready to receive input from the main RCA input (not the auxiliary RCA input).
3. Turn the HTGEPBT9H master volume to a normal listening level.
4. Press the play button on the auxiliary source.
5. Push in the AUX button to change to the auxiliary source.
6. Using a small athead screwdriver, adjust the AUX gain controls located on the top of the unit so that the volume of the auxiliary source matches the volume of the main source.

Set up Wireless BT Streaming

1. Make the device you are connecting to visible.
2. Open Settings.
3. Select BT ON.
4. Toggle the button and tap Scan to turn ON BT and scan for devices.
5. Select the device you want to connect to from list “LANZAR HERITAGE”.

INSTALL ATION AND WIRING

Read these instructions and the following precautions carefully.
What’s in the Box:

• 4-Band Parametric Equalizer

Before Starting
Mounting Precautions
The HTGEPBT9H can be mounted next to the source unit or under the dash using the mounting brackets. The front panel controls should be easily accessible from the driver’s seat.

In addition:

• This unit requires additional mobile audio components for proper operation.
• Always use great care when attaching anything to a vehicle! Check clearances in front of, behind, and on both sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws.

Wiring Precautions
Disconnect the ground (-) terminal on the vehicle’s battery.

WARNING!
To Prevent short circuits during installation, always disconnect the vehicle’s
negative (-) battery lead before making any connections.

• This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V battery system.
• A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis and the source unit ground.
• When routing RCA cables, keep the cables away from the power cables and output speaker wires.
• If you are using a source unit without a remote turn-on lead, the HTGEPBT9H can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. This accessory power source is located in the factory harness at the back of the radio. This lead turns on and o with the ignition key.
• Do not open the case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If you require assistance, consult your LANZAR dealer or an authorized LANZAR service center.

Tools and additional components

You will need:

• A Philips-head screwdriver when mounting the unit in the vehicle.

• A small at-head screwdriver to adjust the AUX gain controls if you connect an
  MP3 player or video source.

• High-quality RCA input and output cables. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an antenna for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source unit and ampliers.
