I can't figure out why my '09 F-150 FX-4 doesn't have the "DSP" feature? It has the bass/treble; balance/fade; SCV; and Visualizer but no DSP. Any ideas?

 

Sorry, I must be stupid or just not informed as well as some of you . . .but, just what does DSP stand for?

Thanks

It doesn't appear that these new Sony systems have it. But the old Audiophile systems did.

 

My 09 F-150 does not have it, but I can get all of the DSP information. I think (but cannot remember right now) the DSP function is in a different location for the 09 vs the 10. We just got my wife's new Mustang GT and I had the Nav/Sync system put into it and it is there for her car.

 

IMO DSP is waaay over rated. Kind of a gimmick, adding unnatural sounding effects to recorded music.

 

Could those of you with the Sony Nav system single cd check this out for me so know it was the leap from Audiophile to Sony that changed this? The manual says otherwise.

 

well just to add my two cent

i looked on my truck today which is a 6 disk with sync and sat and non nav and it has the dsp setting listed

don't know what it does didn't make no different in the radio that i noticed

 

I did check, that's why I said it doesn't appear that the new Sony systems has it. My Platinum has the same Sony Nav system. Which manual are you talking about, the separate manual for the Nav?


Scot, don't confuse DSP with the RDBS feature (Radio Data Broadcast System). if you enable RDBS, it allows you to search RDBS-equipped stations for a certain category of music format: CLASSIC, COUNTRY, JAZZ/RB, ROCK, etc. It also displays the name or call letters of the radio station, and song names.

 

Yes, under the online Navigation System Guide, 1st printing, page 82.

 

where did you get online Nav guide? I could only find the standard owner's manual/guide to download. The standard owner's manual (online 3rd printing) does not mention DSP at all under the radio controls section.

 

Here is the file. thes DSP is under the "SOUND" Button. Page 16 of the book, page 17 of the pdf file.

 

Also in the pages I sited at pages 80-82.

 

thanks. of course I have these manuals but they are in my glove box and I'm at work right now.

that is strange, I do recall briefly reading the Nav guide when I first got my truck and seeing that. But we don't have that feature for some reason?

 

My sony system also does not have the DSP function, I was able to get out and check it.
