Basic Operations  
If you connect a Bluetooth adapter (e.g. CD-  
BTB200) to this unit, you can control Bluetooth  
audio players via Bluetooth wireless technology.  
!
Even though your audio player does not  
contain a Bluetooth module, you can still  
control it from this unit via Bluetooth wire-  
less technology. To control your audio  
player using this unit, connect a product  
featuring Bluetooth wireless technology  
(available on the market) to your audio  
player and connect the Bluetooth adapter  
(e.g. CD-BTB200) to this unit.  
!
In some countries, CD-BTB200 is not sold  
on the market.

Depending on the Bluetooth audio player con-  
nected to this unit, the operations available  
with this unit are limited to the following two  
levels:  
A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution  
Profile): Only playing back songs on your  
audio player is possible.  
AVRCP profile (Audio/Video Remote Con-  
trol Profile): Playing back, pausing, select-  
ing songs, etc., are possible.  
!
Since there are a number of Bluetooth audio  
players available on the market, operations  
with your Bluetooth audio player using this  
unit vary extensively. Refer to the instruction

isnt easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-

the balance right among the speakers ex-  
cept for the center, and then reproducing a  
5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-  
justing the center speaker output to the  
balance you have already got among the

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time  
alignment and auto-equalizing)  
The auto-time alignment is automatically ad-  
justed for the distance between each speaker  
and the listening position.  
The auto-equalizer automatically measures  
the car interior acoustic characteristics, and  
then creates the auto-equalizer curve based  
on that information.

Each time you touch c or d it increases or de-  
creases the equalizer level. +12 to 12 is dis-  
played as the level is increased or decreased.  
WARNING  
To prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA and  
EQ while driving. When this function measures  
the car interior acoustic characteristics to create  
an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement  
tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.

the other speakers in the same way.  
!
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.  
Note  
You can select a center frequency for each band.  
You can change the center frequency in 1/3-oc-  
tave steps, but you cannot select frequencies that  
have intervals shorter than 1 octave among the  
center frequencies of the three bands.  
When speakers are incorrectly connected.  
(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to  
a subwoofer output.)  
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.

If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-  
vious setting of this already exists, the set-  
ting will be replaced.  
Before operating the auto TA and EQ  
function  
!
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  
measurement of the car interior acoustic  
characteristics.  
!
Carrying out auto TA and EQ  
Stop the car in a place that is as quiet  
as possible, close all doors, windows and  
the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.  
If the engine is left running, engine noise may  
prevent correct auto TA and EQ.  
1
!
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.  
2
Fix 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.  
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.  
When this unit is connected to a power  
amp with an LPF, turn off the LPF on the  
power amp before carrying out auto TA and  
EQ. In addition, the cut-off frequency for  
built-in LPF of an active subwoofer should  
be set to the highest frequency.  
The time alignment value calculated by  
auto TA and EQ may differ from the actual  
distance in the following circumstances.  
However, the distance has been calculated  
by computer to be the optimum delay to  
give accurate results for the circum-  
stances, so please continue to use this  
value.  
!

Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.  
If the cars air conditioner or heater is turned  
on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air  
conditioner or heater may prevent correct auto  
TA and EQ.  
When the reflected sound within a vehi-  
cle is strong and delays occur.

At temperatures higher or lower than the  
operating temperature range, the display  
may not operate normally.  
The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-  
crease its visibility within the vehicle.  
Please do not press strongly on it as this  
may damage it.  
Do not place anything on the display when  
it is opened. Also, do not attempt to carry  
out angle adjustment, or open/close the

the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound  
system used in theaters.  
Terms  
AAC  
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II can create five full-band-  
width output channels from two-channel  
sources. This new technology enables a dis-  
crete 5-channel playback with 2 front chan-  
nels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. A  
music mode is also available for 2-channel  
sources in addition to the movie mode.  
Aspect ratio  
This 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 of  
16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional  
presence and atmosphere.  
DTS  
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system delivering multi-channel  
audio from up to 6 independent channels.  
Bit rate  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
(bits per second) units. 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.  
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 le-  
vels.  
Chapter  
DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters  
which are numbered in the same way as the  
chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea-  
turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired  
scene with chapter search.  
ID3 tag  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in an 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 as to the num-  
ber of characters, the information can be  
viewed when the track is played back.  
DivX  
DivX is a popular media technology created by  
DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly com-  
pressed video with high visual quality that  
maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files  
can also include advanced media features like  
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.  
Many DivX media files are available for down-  
load online, and you can create your own

ISO9660 format  
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.  
DivX Certified  
DivX Certified products are officially tested by  
the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all  
versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.  
Level 1:  
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).  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio  
from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is

Level 2:  
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)  
Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi-  
ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages  
can be recorded on a single disc, letting you  
choose as desired.  
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:  
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-  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code  
modulation  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions on one disc.  
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,  
which is the signal recording system used for  
music CDs and DVDs. Generally, DVDs are re-  
corded with higher sampling frequency and  
bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide  
higher sound quality.  
Multi-subtitle  
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-  
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as  
desired.  
Optical digital output/input  
m3u  
By transmitting and receiving audio signals in  
a digital signal format, the chance of sonic  
quality deteriorating in the course of transmis-  
sion is minimized. An optical digital output/  
input is designed to transmit and receive digi-  
tal signals optically.  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
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.  
Packet write  
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.  
MPEG  
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts  
Group, and is an international video image  
compression standard. Some DVDs feature di-  
gital audio compressed and recorded using  
this system.  
Parental lock  
Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-or-  
iented scenes feature parental lock which pre-  
vents children from viewing such scenes. With  
this kind of disc, if you set the units parental  
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for  
children will be disabled, or these scenes will  
be skipped.  
Multi-angle  
With regular TV programs, although multiple  
cameras are used to simultaneously shoot  
scenes, only images from one camera at a  
time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs  
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-  
ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Additional Information  
Playback control (PBC)  
This is a playback control signal recorded on  
Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays  
provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy  
playback of simple interactive software and  
software with search functions. You can also  
enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution  
still images.  
Region number  
DVD players and DVD discs feature region  
numbers indicating the area in which they  
were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not pos-  
sible unless it features the same region num-  
ber as the DVD player.  
Title  
DVD video discs have high data capacity, en-  
abling recording of multiple movies on a sin-  
gle disc. If, for example, one disc contains  
three separate movies, they are divided into  
title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the  
convenience of title search and other func-  
tions.  
VBR  
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally  
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more  
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit  
rate according to the needs of audio compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows MediaAudio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 7 or  
later.  
Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-  
demarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft
