Sound Field Control (SFC)  
The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.  
About the SFC function  
• The acoustics of different performance environments are not the same and depend on the extent and  
contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls,  
floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflec-  
tions, and late reflections, or reverberations.  
Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance  
settings.  
1. Select “SFC” by moving the joystick.  
“SFC” is highlighted in green.  
2. Click the joystick.  
The SFC Menu appears, with “Musical” highlighted in

If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC  
effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., Musical, Drama, Action or 5D), we  
recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic ON. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that  
are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., Jazz, Club, Hall or Theater), we recommend  
switching Dolby Pro Logic OFF.  
When playing a 2-channel mono source with PRO LOGIC switched ON, there are occasions

Selecting a Crossover Frequency  
You can select a frequency, sounds under which are reproduced through the subwoofer.  
If the installed speakers include one whose “Size” has been set “SMALL”, you can select a  
frequency, sounds under which are reproduced through a “LARGE” speaker or subwoofer.  
1. Select “Cross Over” by moving the joystick.  
“Cross Over” is highlighted in green.  
2. Click the joystick.  
Each click changes crossover frequency in the follow-  
ing order:  
100 Hz = 200 Hz = 63 Hz  
Note:  
Selecting a crossover frequency is to set a cut-off frequency of the subwoofer’s L.P.F. (low-  
pass filter) and that of the “SMALL” speaker’s H.P.F. (high-pass filter). Crossover frequency  
setting has no effect if the subwoofer is set “OFF” and any other speaker set “LARGE” or  
“OFF”.  
Correcting the Subwoofer’s Phase  
If trying to boost the bass output of the subwoofer doesn’t do much or rather makes you feel  
that bass gets further murky, this may indicate that the subwoofer’s output and bass content  
you hear over other speakers cancel each other out.  
To remove this problem, try changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.  
1. Select “SW Phase” by moving the joystick.  
“SW Phase” is highlighted in green.  
2. Click the joystick.  
Each click toggles NORMAL and REVERSE.

Adjusting the Cabin Equalizer (Expert)  
At the Expert Setting Menu you can make fine adjustments for 3-band parametric EQ, speaker  
output level and time alignment, speaker by speaker. “Band”, “Frequency”, “EQ Level” and  
“Q Factor” are options you need to select when adjusting the 3-band parametric equalizer.  
Tips for adjusting the Cabin Equalizer  
• The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn’t easy. We  
recommend reproducing a 2-ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the  
speakers except for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and  
adjusting the center speaker’s output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.  
• When you make adjustment for speakers, the currently selected type of car is highlighted in orange  
showing that a tailored EQ curve is stored in memory. Your tailored Cabin EQ can be stored in  
memory (see page 64) and be erased from memory (see page 64).

Terms  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital provides discrete multichannel (up to a maximum of 5.1) audio. This is the same  
audio system as is installed in movie theaters.  
To enjoy Dolby Digital sound you need to connect this product’s optical digital input to the digital  
output on a DVD player with Dolby Digital decoding capability.  
1
Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
When you play a 2-channel audio disc marked Dolby Surround Pro Logic using an AV amplifier  
equipped for Dolby Pro Logic, the audio is converted into 4-channel audio.  
Dolby Pro Logic gives enhanced spatial and directional effects, creating theater-like sense of pres-  
ence and ambience.  
5
DTS for Digital Theater Surround  
DTS differs from Dolby Digital, providing a maximum of 6-channel discrete multichannel audio.  
To hear DTS discs, you need to connect the digital output on DTS-capable DVD players and other  
units to this product’s digital input.  
Dynamic Range Control  
Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and softest  
sounds: Dynamic Range Control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range  
are heard clearly even at low volume levels.  
Linear PCM (LPCM) /Pulse Code Modulation  
This is a recording technology used on music CDs. Some DVD-Video discs also contain PCM  
sound tracks. While music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVD-Video discs’ sound tracks  
are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby offering better quality audio than music  
CDs.  
Optical Digital Input  
By receiving optical digital input audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance is minimized  
that the sonic quality deteriorates in the course of transmission. An optical digital input is an input  
designed to receive digital signals optically. (To take advantage of the digital input, output units  
such as DVD players must have optical outputs.)

Installation  
Connecting the Units  
Note:  
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery  
and negative grounding. Before installing it in a  
recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the  
battery voltage.  
When this product’s source is switched ON, a  
control signal is output through the blue/white  
lead. Connect to an external power amp’s sys-  
tem remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna  
relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC).  
If the car features a glass antenna, connect to  
the antenna booster power supply terminal.  
When an external power amp is being used  
with this system, be sure not to connect the  
blue/white lead to the amp’s power terminal.  
Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to  
the power terminal of the auto-antenna. Such  
connection could cause excessive current drain  
and malfunction.  
To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnect-  
ed lead with insulating tape. Especially, insu-  
late the unused speaker leads without fail.  
There is a possibility of short-circuiting if the  
leads are not insulated.  
To prevent incorrect connection, the input side  
of the IP-BUS or optical cable connector is  
blue, and the output side is black. Connect the  
connectors of the same colors correctly.  
If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not  
have an ACC (accessory) position on the igni-  
tion switch, the red lead of the unit should be  
connected to a terminal coupled with ignition  
switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done,  
the vehicle battery may be drained when you  
are away from the vehicle for several hours.  
To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure  
to disconnect the · battery cable before begin-  
ning installation.  
Refer to each product’s manual for details on  
connecting the power amp and other units, then  
make connections correctly.  
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-  
sive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive  
tape around them where they lie against metal  
parts.  
Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch  
any moving parts, such as the gear shift, hand-  
brake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in  
places that get hot, such as near the heater out-  
let. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets  
torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-  
circuiting to the vehicle body.  
Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into  
the engine compartment to connect to the bat-  
tery. This will damage the lead insulation and  
cause a very dangerous short.  
Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protec-  
tion circuit may fail to work when it should.  
Never feed power to other equipment by cut-  
ting the insulation of the power supply lead of  
the unit and tapping into the lead. The current  
capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing  
overheating.  
When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse  
of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.  
Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed,  
never wire so the speaker leads are directly  
grounded or the left and right · speaker leads  
are common.  
ACC position  
No ACC position  
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-  
power types with minimum rating of 45 W and  
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speak-  
ers with output and/or impedance values other  
than those noted here may result in the speak-  
ers catching fire, emitting smoke or becoming  
damaged.  
The black lead is ground. Please ground this  
lead separately from the ground of high-current  
products such as power amps.  
If you ground the products together and the  
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of  
damage to the products or fire.

To ensure proper heat dissipation of this prod-  
uct, take special care not to block the cooling  
fan side of this product.  
7 Using the Corrugated Tube  
To prevent the optical cable from being  
strained, use the corrugated tube after  
cutting it to the correct length.  
Cords for this product and those for other  
products may be different colors even if  
they have the same function. When con-  
necting this product to another product,  
refer to the supplied Installation manuals  
of both products and connect cords that  
have the same function.  
• Insert the optical cable into the  
corrugated tube.  
Optical cable  
Routing the Optical Cable  
Corrugated tube  
Precaution:  
Try not to bend the optical cable sharply. If it is  
necessary to bend it sharply, make sure that the  
bending radius is at least 25 mm (1 inch), oth-  
erwise the cable will not transfer signals prop-  
erly and so this unit will not work properly.  
Route the optical cable so that nothing heavy  
rests on it, and so that it cannot be stepped on  
or caught in anything – for instance, a door.  
Make a loop of diameter at least 200 mm  
(7-7/8 inches) with the remaining optical cable  
so that the cable does not get strained.  
When plugging the optical cable into the unit,  
use the supplied cable clamps to prevent the  
cable from being bent sharply.  
Route the optical cable so that it does not get  
caught in moving parts such as the gear shift,  
hand brake, or seat sliding mechanism. Keep  
the cable away from hot spots, such as near the  
heater outlet.  
7 Mounting the Clamp  
The clamp is used to secure the optical  
cable when using it.  
1. Insert the clamp in the direction  
indicated in the figure, and turn it  
90 degrees to lock.

Note:  
Installing the Unit  
Before finally installing the unit, connect the  
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all con-  
nected up properly, and the unit and the system  
work properly.  
7 Mounting with Brackets  
Use only the parts included with the unit to  
ensure proper installation. The use of unautho-  
rized parts can cause malfunctions.  
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation  
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-  
tions of the vehicle.  
Install the unit where it does not get in the dri-  
vers way and cannot injure the passenger if  
there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.  
When mounting this unit, make sure none of  
the leads are trapped between this unit and the  
surrounding metalwork or fittings.  
Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet,  
where it would be affected by heat, or near the  
doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.  
Before drilling any mounting holes always  
check behind where you want to drill the holes.  
Do not drill into the gas line, brake line, electri-  
cal wiring or other important parts.  
Tapping screw (4 × 12 mm)  
Screw  
(4 × 8 mm)  
Bracket  
Drill 2 to 2.5 mm diameter holes.
