Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizerFor CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizercurves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen-ter equalizer curves separately by selecting acenter frequency, an equalizer level and a Qfactor for each band.! A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre-

ated for each source.! A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com-

mon to all sources.! The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance rightisn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-ch. audio (a CD for example) and gettingthe balance right among the speakers ex-cept for the center, and then reproducing a5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-

justing the center speaker output to thebalance you have already got among theother speakers.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-timealignment and auto-equalizing)The auto-time alignment is automatically ad-justed for the distance between each speakerand the listening position.The auto-equalizer automatically measuresthe car interior acoustic characteristics, andthen creates the auto-equalizer curve basedon that information.

WARNINGTo prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA andEQ while driving. When this function measuresthe car interior acoustic characteristics to createan auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurementtone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.

CAUTION! Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-

ing conditions may damage the speakers. Besure to check the conditions thoroughly be-fore carrying out auto TA and EQ.— When speakers are incorrectly connected.

(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected toa subwoofer output.)

— When a speaker is connected to a poweramp delivering output higher than thespeaker’s maximum input power capabil-ity.

! If the microphone is placed in an unsuitableposition the measurement tone may becomeloud and measurement may take a long time,resulting in a drain on battery power. Be sureto place the microphone in the specified loca-tion.

Before operating the auto TA and EQfunction! Carry out auto TA and EQ in as quiet a

place as possible, with the car engine andair conditioning switched off. Also cutpower to car phones or portable telephonesin the car, or remove them from the car be-fore carrying out auto TA and EQ. Soundsother than the measurement tone (sur-rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-phones ringing etc.) may prevent correctmeasurement of the car interior acousticcharacteristics.

! Be sure to carry out auto TA and EQ usingthe supplied microphone. Using anothermicrophone may prevent measurement, orresult in incorrect measurement of the carinterior acoustic characteristics.

! When front speaker is not connected, autoTA and EQ cannot be carried out.

! When this unit is connected to a poweramp with input level control, auto TA andEQ may not be possible if you lower poweramp input level. Set the power amp’s inputlevel to the standard position.

! When this unit is connected to a poweramp with an LPF, turn off the LPF on thepower amp before carrying out auto TA andEQ. In addition, the cut-off frequency forbuilt-in LPF of an active subwoofer shouldbe set to the highest frequency.

! The time alignment value calculated byauto TA and EQ may differ from the actualdistance in the following circumstances.However, the distance has been calculatedby computer to be the optimum delay togive accurate results for the circum-stances, so please continue to use thisvalue.— When the reflected sound within a vehi-

cle is strong and delays occur.— When delays occur for low sounds due

to the influence of the LPF on activesubwoofers or external amps.

! Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settingsas below:— The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to page 60.)— The equalizer curve switches to FLAT.

(Refer to page 65.)— It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center andrear speaker.

! If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-vious setting of this already exists, the set-ting will be replaced.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ

1 Stop the car in a place that is as quietas possible, close all doors, windows andthe sun roof, and then turn the engine off.If the engine is left running, engine noise mayprevent correct auto TA and EQ.

2 Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-ter of the headrest of the driver’s seat, fa-cing forward, using the belt (soldseparately).The auto TA and EQ may differ depending onwhere you place the microphone. If desired,place the microphone on the front passengerseat to carry out auto TA and EQ.

3 Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.If the car’s air conditioner or heater is turnedon, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the airconditioner or heater may prevent correct autoTA and EQ.

TermsAspect ratioThis is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptionalpresence and atmosphere.

Bit rateThis expresses data volume per second, or bps(bits per second) units. The higher the rate,the more information is available to reproducethe sound. Using the same encoding method(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the betterthe sound.

ChapterDVD titles are in turn divided into chapterswhich are numbered in the same way as thechapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea-turing chapters, you can quickly find a desiredscene with chapter search.

Dolby DigitalDolby Digital provides multi-channel audiofrom up to 5.1 independent channels. This isthe same as the Dolby Digital surround soundsystem used in theaters.

Dolby Pro Logic IIDolby Pro Logic II can create five full-band-width output channels from two-channelsources. This new technology enables a dis-crete 5-channel playback with 2 front chan-nels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. Amusic mode is also available for 2-channelsources in addition to the movie mode.

DTSThis stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS isa surround system delivering multi-channelaudio from up to 6 independent channels.

ID3 tagThis is a method of embedding track-relatedinformation in an MP3 file. This embedded in-formation can include the track title, the ar-tist’s name, the album title, the music genre,the year of production, comments and otherdata. The contents can be freely edited usingsoftware with ID3 Tag editing functions.Although the tags are restricted as to the num-ber of characters, the information can beviewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 formatThis is the international standard for the for-mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For theISO9660 format, there are regulations for thefollowing two levels.Level 1:The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte Englishcapital letters and half-byte numerals and the“_” sign, with a file-extension of three charac-ters).Level 2:The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-cluding the separation mark “.” and a file ex-tension). Each folder contains less than 8hierarchies.Extended formatsJoliet:File names can have up to 64 characters.Romeo:File names can have up to 128 characters.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse codemodulationThis stands for linear pulse code modulation,which is the signal recording system used formusic CDs and DVDs. Generally, DVDs are re-corded with higher sampling frequency andbit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can providehigher sound quality.

m3uPlaylists created using the “WINAMP” soft-ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is anaudio compression standard set by a workinggroup (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-dards Organization). MP3 is able to compressaudio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-ventional disc.

MPEGThis stands for Moving Pictures ExpertsGroup, and is an international video imagecompression standard. Some DVDs feature di-gital audio compressed and recorded usingthis system.

Multi-angleWith regular TV programs, although multiplecameras are used to simultaneously shootscenes, only images from one camera at atime are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDsfeature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi-ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languagescan be recorded on a single disc, letting youchoose as desired.

Multi-sessionMulti-session is a recording method that al-lows additional data to be recorded later.

When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R orCD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end istreated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-sions on one disc.

Multi-subtitleSubtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-corded on a single DVD, letting you choose asdesired.

Optical digital output/inputBy transmitting and receiving audio signals ina digital signal format, the chance of sonicquality deteriorating in the course of transmis-sion is minimized. An optical digital output/input is designed to transmit and receive digi-tal signals optically.

Packet writeThis is a general term for a method of writingon CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,just as is done with files on floppy or harddiscs.

Parental lockSome DVD video discs with violent or adult-or-iented scenes feature parental lock which pre-vents children from viewing such scenes. Withthis kind of disc, if you set the unit’s parentallock level, playback of scenes inappropriate forchildren will be disabled, or these scenes willbe skipped.

Playback control (PBC)This is a playback control signal recorded onVideo CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displaysprovided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoyplayback of simple interactive software andsoftware with search functions. You can alsoenjoy viewing high- and standard-resolutionstill images.

Appendix

Region numberDVD players and DVD discs feature regionnumbers indicating the area in which theywere purchased. Playback of a DVD is not pos-sible unless it features the same region num-ber as the DVD player. This unit’s regionnumber is displayed on the bottom of the unit.

TitleDVD video discs have high data capacity, en-abling recording of multiple movies on a sin-gle disc. If, for example, one disc containsthree separate movies, they are divided intotitle 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy theconvenience of title search and other func-tions.

VBRVBR is short for variable bit rate. Generallyspeaking CBR (constant bit rate) is morewidely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bitrate according to the needs of audio compres-sion, it is possible to achieve compression-priority sound quality.

WMAWMA is short for Windows Media™ Audioand refers to an audio compression technol-ogy that is developed by MicrosoftCorporation. WMA data can be encoded byusing Windows Media Player version 7 orlater.Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-demarks or registered trademarks of MicrosoftCorporation in the United States and/or othercountries.
