Phase Test
Do this test to confirm proper speaker phasing.
1. Insert the audio Diagnostic CD (07AAZ-SDBA100) into the CD player unit, the DVD player unit, or the BD player unit.
2. Play track No. 2 (phase) at a normal, or slightly higher than normal, volume level.
3. The voice should sound centered and focused when it indicates it is in-phase.
4. The voice should sound diffused, and have less bass when it indicates it is out of phase.
- If the voice changes from in-phase to out of phase as indicated by the prompt, the phasing is correct. Go to Electrical Noise Test.
- If the voice always sounds out of phase, phasing is not correct. Check for:
-
- Shorted speaker wire
- Open in speaker wire
- Shorted speaker
- Loose connection or poor pin fit
- Faulty audio unit or audio-navigation unit
- Faulty CD player unit, the DVD player unit, or the BD player unit
- Faulty stereo amplifier
- Aftermarket audio components like amplifiers, speakers, etc.
