About WMA  
For viewing LCD comfortably  
Due to its construction, the view angle of the  
LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (verti-  
cal and horizontal) can be increased, however,  
by using BRIGHT to adjust the black density of  
the video. When using for the first time, adjust  
the black density in accordance with the view-  
ing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for  
clear viewing. DIMMER can also be used to  
adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself  
to suit your personal preference.  
The Windows Media" logo printed on the box  
indicates that this unit can play back WMA  
data.  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
that is developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Correcting the subwoofers phase  
Selecting a cut-off frequency  
If trying to boost the bass output of the sub-  
woofer doesnt do much or rather makes you  
feel that the bass gets more murky, this may  
indicate that the subwoofers 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.  
You can select a frequency, under which  
sounds are reproduced through the subwoo-  
fer. If the installed speakers include one whose  
size has been set to SMALL, you can select a  
frequency, under which sounds are repro-  
duced through a LARGE speaker or subwoo-

tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.  
CAUTION  
!
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.

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.  
!
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.  
Carrying out auto TA and EQ  
1
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.  
!
!
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.  
2
Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-  
ter of the headrest of the drivers seat, fa-  
cing forward, using the belt (sold  
separately).  
!
!
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.  
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 the reflected sound within a vehi-  
cle is strong and delays occur.

Terms  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Level1:  
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.)  
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.  
Level2:  
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.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio  
from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is  
the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound  
system used in theaters.  
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code  
modulation  
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.  
DTS  
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system delivering multi-channel  
audio from up to 6 independent channels.  
m3u  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
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,

MP3 is short for MPEGAudio 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.  
input is designed to transmit and receive digi-  
tal signals optically.  
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.  
Parentallock  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 on one disc.  
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. This units region  
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.  
Multi-subtitle  
Title  
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-  
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as  
desired.  
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.  
Opticaldigitaloutput/input  
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/

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 Media" Audio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-  
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using  
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
