5. Mode d'emploi
Once installed, the Hertz DSK-1653 system operates as part of your car's audio system. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

- Période de rodage : Allow a break-in period of approximately 20-30 hours of normal listening. During this time, the speaker components will loosen up, leading to improved sound quality and bass response. Avoid playing music at excessively high volumes during this period.
- Contrôle du volume : Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. Avoid prolonged listening at maximum volume, which can lead to distortion and potential damage to the speakers.
- Paramètres audio : Utilisez votre autoradio ou amplifier's equalizer and sound settings to fine-tune the audio to your preference. Start with flat settings and make small adjustments.
