The LPF cuts frequencies (high) above the  
set frequency, letting low frequencies  
through.  
About the network  
function  
The network function lets you divide the audio  
signal into different frequency bands, and  
then reproduce each of them through sepa-  
rate speaker units.  
Level  
The difference in reproduced levels between  
speaker units can be corrected.  
You can then make precise adjustments to the  
reproduced frequency band (with a low-pass  
filter or high-pass filter), level, phase and other  
parameters to match the characteristics of  
each speaker unit.  
Slope  
Adjusting the HPF/LPF slope (filter attenuation  
slope) lets you adjust the continuity of sound  
between speaker units.  
!
The slope indicates the number of decibels  
(dB) the signal is attenuated when the fre-  
quency is one octave higher (lower) (Unit:  
dB/oct.). The steeper the slope, the more  
the signal is attenuated.  
Adjustable parameters  
The network function enables adjustment of  
the following parameters. Make adjustments  
in line with the reproduced frequency band  
and characteristics of each connected speaker  
unit.  
Phase  
You can switch phase (normal, reverse) for  
each speaker units input signal. When the  
continuity of sound between speakers is im-  
precise, try switching phase. This may improve  
the continuity of sound between speakers.

With the low-range speaker installed in the  
rear tray, if you set the L LPF cut-off fre-

that it appears to come from the rear. You

frequency is set lower than required, strong  
bass signal input may damage the speaker.

Even if any speaker unit (filter) is muted,  
you can adjust the parameters for other  
speaker units (filters).  
The basic frequencies of many musical instru-

middle-range level adjustment, followed by  
high-range and then low-range level adjust-

If you set a small absolute value for the  
slope (for a gentle slope), interference be-  
tween adjacent speaker units can easily re-

If you set a large absolute value for the  
slope (for a steep slope), continuity of  
sound between speaker units is degraded,  
and sounds appear to be separated.

audio signal bypasses the filter, so the filter  
does not have an effect.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-  
ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be  
sure 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 to  
a subwoofer output.)  
Each press of a or b increases or decreases  
the source volume.  
+4 4 is displayed as the source volume is  
increased or decreased.  
Notes  
When a speaker is connected to a power  
amp delivering output higher than the  
speakers maximum input power capabil-  
ity.  
If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable  
position the measurement tone may become  
loud and measurement may take a long time,  
resulting in a drain on battery power. Be sure  
to place the microphone in the specified loca-  
tion.  
!
Since the FM tuner volume is the control, it is  
not possible to apply source level adjustments  
to the FM tuner.  
The AM tuner volume level can also be ad-  
justed with source level adjustments.  
The built-in CD player and the multi-CD player  
are set to the same source level adjustment  
volume automatically.

!
Carry out auto TA and EQ in as quiet a  
place as possible, with the car engine and  
air conditioning switched off. Also cut  
power to car phones or portable telephones  
in the car, or remove them from the car be-  
fore carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds  
other than the measurement tone (sur-  
rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-  
phones ringing etc.) may prevent correct  
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time  
alignment and auto-  
equalizing)

2Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-  
ter of the headrest of the drivers seat, fa-  
cing forward, using the belt (sold  
separately).  
The auto TA and EQ may differ depending on  
where you place the microphone. If desired,  
place the microphone on the front passenger  
seat to carry out auto TA and EQ.  
!
Be sure to carry out auto TA and EQ using  
the supplied microphone. Using another  
microphone may prevent measurement, or  
result in incorrect measurement of the car  
interior acoustic characteristics.  
When front speaker is not connected, auto  
TA and EQ cannot be carried out.  
When this unit is connected to a power  
amp with input level control, auto TA and  
EQ may not be possible if you lower power  
amp input level. Set the power amps input  
level to the standard position.

CD-R/CD-RW discs  
nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-  
poration. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1  
or Windows Media Player for Windows XP.  
With some applications used to encode  
WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-  
rectly.  
!
When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, play-  
back is possible only for discs which have  
been finalized.  
!
!
!
!
It may not be possible to play back CD-R/  
CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-  
corder or a personal computer because of  
disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on  
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the  
lens of this unit.  
With some applications used to encode  
WMA files, album names and other text in-  
formation may not be correctly displayed.  
This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA  
files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
Disc recordings compatible with level 1  
and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo  
and Joliet file system can be played back.  
It is possible to play back multi-session  
compatible recorded discs.  
MP3/WMA files are not compatible with  
packet write data transfer.  
The max. number of characters which can  
be displayed for a file name, including the  
extension (.mp3 or .wma), is 32 characters  
from the first character.  
The max. number of characters which can  
be displayed for a folder name is 32 charac-  
ters.  
In case of files recorded according to the  
Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first  
32 characters can be displayed.  
When playing discs with MP3/WMA files  
and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA  
and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be  
played only by switching mode between  
MP3/WMA and CD-DA.  
The folder selection sequence for playback  
and other operations becomes the writing  
sequence used by the writing software. For  
this reason, the expected sequence at the  
time of playback may not coincide with the  
actual playback sequence. However, there  
also is some writing software which per-  
mits setting of the playback order.  
!
Playback of discs recorded on a personal  
computer may not be possible depending  
on the application settings and the environ-  
ment. Please record with the correct for-  
mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer  
of the application.)  
!
!
!
!
!
!
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-  
come impossible in case of direct exposure  
to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-  
rage conditions in the car.  
Titles and other text information recorded  
on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-  
played by this unit (in the case of audio  
data (CD-DA)).  
This unit conforms to the track skip func-  
tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks  
containing the track skip information are  
skipped automatically (in case of audio  
data (CD-DA)).  
!

!
!
!
If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,  
time to playback will be longer than when  
you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.  
Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW  
discs before using them.

Additional Information  
About folders and MP3/  
WMA files  
Important  
!
!
When naming an MP3 or a WMA file, add the  
corresponding filename extension (.mp3 or  
.wma).  
This unit plays back files with the filename ex-  
tension (.mp3 or .wma) as an MP3 or a WMA  
file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not  
use these extensions for files other than MP3  
or WMA files.  
!
An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3/WMA  
files on it is shown below. Subfolders are  
shown as folders in the folder currently se-  
lected.  
MP3 additional information  
!
Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.  
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of  
album (disc title), track (track title) and ar-  
tist (track artist).  
!
Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz  
frequencies are played back, the emphasis  
function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48  
kHz sampling frequencies can be played  
back.)  
!
!
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.  
There is no compatibility with the MP3i  
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO format.  
The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-  
comes better with increasing bit rate. This  
unit can play recordings with bit rates from  
8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able  
to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recom-  
mended to use only discs recorded with a  
bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

Only when WMA files of 32, 44.1 and 48  
kHz frequencies are played back.  
3 Third level  
!
The sound quality of WMA files generally  
becomes better with increasing bit rate.  
This unit can play recordings with bit rates  
from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be  
able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is  
recommended to use discs recorded with a  
higher bit rate.  
Notes  
!
!
This unit assigns folder numbers. The user  
can not assign folder numbers.  
It is not possible to check folders that do not  
include MP3/WMA files. (These folders will be  
skipped without displaying the folder number.)

Appendix  
Additional Information  
!
!
MP3/WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can  
be played back. However, there is a delay in  
the start of playback on discs with numerous  
tiers. For this reason we recommend creating  
discs with no more than 2 tiers.  
!
Do not use MDs with labels that are not af-  
fixed correctly. Labels like this may catch  
on something, preventing removal of the  
MD. Before using an MD, remove the label  
if it is not correctly affixed, and replace it  
with a new label.  
It is possible to play back up to 253 items from  
folder on one disc.  
MD player and care  
!
Use MDs bearing this mark. Using a disc  
other than a music MD may result in da-  
mage to this unit.  
!
!
!
!
Keep MDs out of direct sunlight and high  
temperatures.  
If the surface of an MD cartridge is dirty,  
wipe it gently with a clean, soft cloth.  
Do not apply benzene, thinner or other vo-  
latile liquids to MDs.  
When using an MD cleaning disc, be sure  
to read the discs instructions carefully.  
Cleaning discs may result in damage to  
this unit.  
!
Do not open the MD shutter by hand. For-  
cing it open may result in damage.  
!
When its cold, if you start playing an MD  
immediately after switching the heater in a  
room on, condensation on the optical lens  
Shutter  
inside the player or on the MD may prevent  
normal play. If this happens, turn off the  
player for about an hour to allow the con-  
densation to evaporate, and wipe damp  
MD cartridge surfaces with a soft cloth.  
!
Be sure to stick labels supplied with MDs  
in the specified location. Failing to do this,  
or sticking one label on top of another may  
make it impossible for the MD to be re-  
moved.

Appendix  
Additional Information  
Terms  
m3u  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
Bit rate  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,  
the more information is available to reproduce  
the sound. Using the same encoding method  
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better  
the sound.  
MP3  
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working  
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-  
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress  
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-  
ventional disc.  
ID3 tag  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in a MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tists name, the album title, the music genre,  
the year of production, comments and other  
data. The contents can be freely edited using  
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.  
Although the tags are restricted to the number  
of characters, the information can be viewed  
when the track is played back.  
Multi-session  
Multi-session is a recording method that al-  
lows additional data to be recorded later.  
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or  
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is  
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions in one disc.  
Packet write  
ISO9660 format  
This is a general term for a method of writing  
on CD-R, etc. at the time required for a file,  
just as is done with files on floppy or hard  
discs.  
This is the international standard for the for-  
mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the  
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the  
following two levels.  
VBR  
Level 1:  
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally  
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more  
widely used. But to flexibly adjust the bit rate  
according to the needs of audio compression,  
it is possible to achieve compression priorities  
sound quality.  
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-  
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English  
capital 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 8  
hierarchies.  
Extended formats  
Joliet:  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
that is developed by Microsoft Corporation.  
WMA data can be encoded by using Windows  
Media Player version 7, 7.1 or Windows Media  
Player for Windows XP.  
Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows  
logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks  
of Microsoft Corporation in the United States  
and/or other countries.
