Operating precautions  
Operating precautions  
<Your CD8454 will perform well over a long period of time through correct  
handling and care.>  
Notes on operation  
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be  
heard.  
• We recommend using with this player a disc with  
the logo shown to the left.  
• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this  
player. Be sure to use discs that have been  
properly processed.  
Depending on the editing equipment used, some  
discs may not play properly.  
• Do not insert anything other than a CD and a  
Memory Stick into the disc slot.  
Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or  
credit cards, into the disc slot. Be especially  
watchful of children’s mischief in this regard.  
• Avoid severe mechanical shock.  
When the player is subjected to severe vibration  
while traveling over a rough surface, playback  
may be intermittent. When a situation like this  
occurs, resume playback after returning to a  
smoother road.  
• About dew condensation.  
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass  
surface gets fogged, dew (water condensation)  
may also settle on the deck. When this occurs,  
disc playback may become intermittent or  
impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a  
while before resuming playback.  
• Cleaning the disc slot.  
The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it  
occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from  
scratching the discs.

12  
Operating precautions  
About compact discs  
• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so  
nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a  
badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent  
playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound  
performance:  
• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot  
for very long; the disc may warp. Discs  
should be stored in their cases and kept  
away from high temperature and humidity.  
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor  
write on or scratch either side of a disc.  
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck.  
Keep cracked or warped discs out of the  
player to avoid damaging it.  
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when  
handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

Operating precautions  
About brand new CDs  
About CD accessories  
• You may notice that some brand  
new discs are rough around the  
center hole or outside edge.  
Remove the rough edges with  
the side of a ballpoint pen, etc.  
Rough edges may prevent  
proper loading in the deck.  
Flakes from the rough edges  
may also stick to the recorded  
surface and interfere with  
playback.  
• Do not use accessories  
(stabilizers, protective seals, laser  
lens cleaners, etc.) sold for  
“improving sound performance”  
or “protecting CDs.” The changes  
in CD thickness or outside  
dimensions made by these  
accessories may cause problems  
in the player.  
Rough Edges  
Ballpoint  
pen  
Please be sure NOT to attach any  
ring-shape protector (or other  
accessory) to your discs. Those  
protectors are commercially  
available and said to protect disc  
and to improve sound quality  
(and antivibration effect), but they  
can do more harm than good in  
regular uses. The most common  
problems are disc insertion, disc  
ejections, and won't play  
problems due to the protector  
ring that came off in the disc  
mechanism.

Operating precautions  
About borrowed CDs  
About irregularly-shaped CDs  
Specially-shaped CDs, like  
heart-shaped or octagonal CDs,  
cannot be played. Do not  
attempt to play them, even with  
an adapter, since they may  
damage the player.  
Do not use a CD with glue or  
remnants of adhesive tape or  
labels. They may cause the CD  
to get stuck inside or damage  
the deck.  
How to remove CDs  
When removing the ejected disc,  
pull it straight out along the slot.  
Pressing downward in the  
process may scratch the  
recorded surface of the disc.  
OKAY  
About cleaning a CD  
Use a commercially available compact disc  
cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the  
center to the edge.  
Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray  
or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage  
a CDs finish.

peeling off or that have name tags (labels)  
attached.  
Store Memory Sticks in places away from direct  
sunlight and high humidity, otherwise the Memory  
Sticks may become unusable.

About MP3/WMA  
The making of MP3/WMA files by recording from sources such  
as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live  
ATTENTION  
performances without permission from the copyright holder for  
uses other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.  
What is MP3/WMA?  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression  
technology. By using MP3 a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of  
the original.  
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) is format for audio compression technology.  
WMA files can be compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files.  
This deck has limitations on MP3/WMA file standards and recorded media  
and formats that can be used.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
• Supported standards: MPEG-1 Audio Layer III  
MPEG-2 Audio Layer III  
• Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
• Supported bit rate: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR.  
* Does not support free format.  
• Supported channel modes: stereo  
Playable WMA file standards  
• Supported standards: WMA Ver. 7  
WMA Ver. 8  
WMA Ver. 9  
• Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
• Supported bit rate: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR (48~192 kbps).  
* Does not support lossless compression.  
ID3/WMA tags  
MP3 files have an "ID3/WMA Tag" that allows input of information so that  
data such as song title and artist can be saved.  
This deck supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1, ID3v. 2* and WMA tags.  
* If the ID3v. 2 is present, the ID3v. 1.0 or ID3v. 1.1 tag will have priority.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player  
Media  
Media capable of playing MP3/WMA includes CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and  
CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments  
and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of  
playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or  
cause skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may  
deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also  
recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case  
because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.  
Format of discs  
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.  
Control items for this standard are as follows:  
• Maximum directory layers:  
8 layers  
• Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 32 (including "." and 3  
letter file extension)  
• Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)  
• Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 512  
[Configuration example for CD supporting MP3/WMA]  
Root directory (F1)  
F2  
Folder 2  
001.mp3  
002.mp3  
003.mp3  
004.txt  
Number of files/folders possible on a single  
disc is 512.  
005.mp3  
Files aside from MP3/WMA files (Example:  
004.txt) also count as single files.

File names  
Only files with the MP3/WMA file extension ".mp3", ".wma" can be  
recognized as MP3/WMA and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the  
".mp3" file extension. Be sure to WMA files with the ".wma" file extension.  
The "MP" or "WMA" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether  
entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.  
If the ".mp3", ".wma" file extension is attached to a file other than  
an MP3/WMA file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the  
Caution  
deck as an MP3/WMA file and played, resulting in loud noise  
output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching  
the ".mp3" file extension to files that are not MP3/WMA files.  
Multi-sessions  
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with  
annotated MP3/WMA files is possible. However, when "Track at once" has  
been written, close the session or process the warning message.  
Standardize the format of each session without changing the format.  
Playing MP3/WMA  
When a disc with recorded MP3/WMA files is inserted, the deck first checks  
all the files on the disc. No sound is output while the deck is checking the  
files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files  
other than MP3 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up  
the checking of disc files by the deck.  
MP3/WMA playing time display  
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing  
condition of the MP3 file.  
* It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down  
is operated.  
Display order of MP3/WMA file/folder names  
Names of MP3/WMA folders and files within the same level are displayed in  
the following order.  
1. MP3/WMA folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.  
2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

Changing the reception sensitivity for automatic scanning  
The deck lets you select the reception sensitivity to be used for  
automatic scanning of stations. The two sensitivity modes available  
for this deck are AUTO mode and DX mode.  
During automatic scanning, the reception sensitivity  
switches automatically to one of two levels. Initially the  
reception sensitivity is set to the low level so that only  
stations with strong signals are received. If no stations  
could be received, the reception sensitivity is increased  
so that stations with weaker signals can also be  
received.  
AUTO Mode  
DX Mode  
Because the reception sensitivity for automatic scanning  
is set to the high level from the start, even stations with  
weaker signals can be received. (Signal crossover may  
result in some stations being hard to hear.)

FM reception characteristics  
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM  
and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems  
not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a  
moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to  
expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory  
performance.  
FM reception differs from AM  
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies  
travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AMs  
(similar to a ray of light): they wont bend but they will reflect.  
Often, they will be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc.,  
taking direct and indirect paths to your vehicles antenna. The  
distance at which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is  
usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can be  
received.  
AM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
FM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
Fading out  
In weak signal or fringereception areas, FM stations may  
fade out completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak  
signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels,  
among tall buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise  
interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. In this case,  
you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune  
to a stronger station, or reduce the treble level.

How to operate the tuner  
Reception area of FM broadcasts  
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the  
use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving  
vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of  
varying conditions encountered while driving, including the  
types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal  
strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual  
antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.  
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High  
Effective Radiation Power 1kW  
FM Stereo Auto Radio 12.4 miles  
FM Monaural Auto Radio 31 miles  
Home FM Stereo Receiver 62 miles  
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM  
station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.  
Multipath  
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another  
problem called multipathFM wave signals reflecting off of  
buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct  
and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the  
treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding  
voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to  
another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the  
situation.

About Sound Adjustment Mode  
This deck is equipped with two different sound adjustment modes:  
normal mode and pro mode.  
In normal mode, the acoustic characteristics inside the vehicle can  
be adjusted using comparatively simple settings. In addition, it  
corresponds to basic sound systems which comprise front speakers,  
rear speakers and an added sub-woofer if necessary.  
In pro mode, the sound quality characteristics can be adjusted item  
by item using more sophisticated settings than in normal mode. In  
addition, the adjustments can be made to suit 3-way speaker system  
where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be  
set to Hi (treble range) Mid (medium range) or Low (bass range).  
Refer to the table below and to the operations for each mode for  
details of each mode.  
The following adjustments can be made in normal mode and pro  
mode respectively.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Graphic equalizer  
The graphic equalizer lets you select from six preset equalizer  
modes in accordance with the genre and instruments of the  
music being played, and also lets you make fine adjustments  
within each mode.  
Parametric equalizer  
A variety of materials are used inside a vehicle to manufacture  
the seats and windows, and because these materials absorb  
and reflect sound in different ways, the parametric equalizer  
lets you adjust the peaks and dips of the frequency  
characteristics inside the vehicle to compensate for this.  
Peak  
High  
[Sound pressure]  
Dip  
Low  
Low [Frequency]  
High  
An "equalizer" is a function that corrects these peaks and dips  
in order to flatten the frequency characteristics. However with a  
normal graphic equalizer, the median frequency and the Q  
(sharpness and band width) are fixed, so that when  
neighboring bands are corrected, there is a limit to the amount  
by which distortion in the peak and dip characteristics can be  
corrected.  
A "parametric equalizer" lets you adjust the median frequency,  
Q (sharpness and band width) and gain to variable levels, so  
that you can make fine adjustments to spot areas of the  
frequency band.

graphic equalizer, so that points that cannot be adjusted using  
the graphic equalizer can be corrected using the single-band  
parametric equalizer.  
In addition, in pro mode, the parametric equalizer can be used  
to adjust five bands in the treble to medium range, and five  
bands in the medium to bass range.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Time Alignment  
With vehicle audio systems, the installation position of the  
speakers and the position of the listener mean that the  
distances from the listener to the left and right speakers are  
almost always different. These differences in the distance from  
the listener to each speaker in turn means that the time taken  
for the sound to reach the listener is different for each speaker.  
The result of this is that the phases of each speaker (biases)  
become mismatched and the sound becomes unnatural, as  
though the sound stage is not wide enough.  
The "time alignment" function corrects the time taken for the  
sound waves to reach the listener in order to set the optimum  
phase for the listening position so that the sound becomes  
more expansive as though it is being listened to on a sound  
stage.  
The basic adjustment method involves measuring the actual  
distances to each speaker and calculating the differences in  
distance relative to the most distant speaker in order to derive  
the delay time for the sound from each speaker.  
When this deck is in normal mode, a simplified time alignment  
function is available. You can use this function to adjust only  
four parameters (position selector, vehicle type, tweeter  
settings and rear speaker position settings), and so you can  
make basic time alignment settings without measuring the  
actual distances to each speaker. In addition, in pro mode you  
can adjust the time delays and levels for each individual  
speaker based on the actual speaker layout.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Crossover  
The frequency band that is stored by audio media such as CDs  
is a fairly wide range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and it is difficult for  
a single speaker to be able to play back all frequencies in such  
a wide range.  
Because of this, several speakers can be used, with different  
frequency bands (such as treble, medium and bass) allotted to  
each speaker so that wide frequency ranges can be played  
back.  
The "Crossover" function is used to allot the frequency ranges  
that are to be played back by each speaker in accordance with  
the installed speaker units and the layout of the speakers, in  
order to obtain the maximum level of performance from the  
speakers and to provide the most stable frequency  
characteristics.  
The crossover function includes a high-pass filter (HPF) for  
playing back treble sounds, and a low-pass filter (LPF) for  
playing back bass sounds. In addition, the HPF and LPF are  
used in combination in order to play back sounds in the  
medium range.

Treble range  
Bass range  
20Hz  
20kHz  
fc1(LPF) fc2(HPF)  
fc3(LPF) fc4(HPF)  
fc*: Cutoff frequency  
For example, when adjusting the HPF, frequencies that are  
lower than the specified frequency are progressively  
dampened, rather than simply not being played back at all.  
The "slope" adjustment function is the function that is used to  
adjust these dampening characteristics.  
The slope characteristics of a filter are such that with larger  
slope values (for example 12 dB/oct), the slope becomes  
steeper, and so the amount of sound mixing in with  
neighboring bands becomes less so that only the target band  
is played back. However, it also causes the merging of sound  
between speakers to become poorer and can result in greater  
distortion.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
• The crossover function is a filter that allocates specified  
frequency bands.  
• A high-pass filter (HPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies  
that are lower than the specified frequency (bass range) and  
allows higher frequencies (treble range) to pass through.  
• A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that  
are higher than the specified frequency (treble range) and  
allows lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through.  
• The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one  
octave higher or one octave lower are dampened.  
The larger the slope value, the greater is the slope. In  
addition, when "PASS" is selected, the slope is eliminated  
(sound does not pass through the filters), so that the  
crossover function has no effect.  
When this deck is in normal mode, it corresponds to basic  
speaker systems which comprise front speakers, rear speakers  
and an added sub-woofer if necessary. In such cases, the  
crossover can be used to apply the HPF to the front and rear  
speakers and the LPF to the sub-woofer so that the sound from  
all speakers merges properly.  
In addition, in pro mode, the adjustments can be made to suit  
speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and  
non-fader output can be switched between Hi, Mid or Low  
output and the speakers can be combined according to each  
range (treble range: tweeter, medium range: Mid, bass range:  
woofer) to provide 3-way playback. In this case, the crossover  
function can be used to adjust the playback ranges so that the  
HPF is applied to the treble-range speakers, the HPF and LPF  
is applied to the medium-range speakers, and the LPF is  
applied to the bass-range speakers so that the sound from all  
speakers merges properly.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Multi-harmonizer  
When original sounds are converted to MP3/WMA and Memory  
Stick (ATRAC3) format, frequency ranges that are not normally  
audible to the human ear are compressed. The multi-  
harmonizer can be used to play back these compressed  
sounds at as close to their original form as possible so that  
clear and powerful sound can be enjoyed.  
Non-fader phase  
The sounds that are output from woofers include sounds that  
are in the same frequency ranges that are output from the front  
and rear speakers, and under the various conditions that can  
occur inside vehicle compartments, some of these sounds may  
cancel each other out. This phenomenon can be eliminated by  
changing the phase of the woofer.  
The phase of the woofer can be set to normal timing (in which  
the output timing between the front and rear speakers and the  
woofer is the same) or reverse timing (in which the output  
timing between the front and rear speakers and the woofer is  
different), depending on the vehicle compartment conditions.

Parametric equalizer adjustment (PEQ)  
Mid-Band (Group-1) Parametric adjustment in 5-Bands of 25  
Frequencies.  
Hi-Band (Group-2) Parametric adjustment in 5-Bands of 20  
Frequencies.  
Eclipse has by default assigned arbitrary frequencies for each  
of the 5-Bands (Hi/Mid for 10 parametric bands total).  
Frequencies in each group (Mid-Group or Hi-Group) cannot be  
duplicated (repeated).  
ATTENTION  
Release a frequency from its location, before it can be re-  
assignment (available again for use in another band).  
Example: If you want the Hi-Group H-1 location to have a  
parametric frequency of 1.25kHz.  
Because this frequency is in use by M-5 you must first assign  
M5 a new frequency, this will release the band for use in the  
Hi-Group H1 at 1.25kHz.

How to use the NOB remote control  
How to use the NOB remote control  
Precautions in use of the remote control  
• Be careful when handling the control, especially because it is  
small and light. Dropping or striking it hard may damage it,  
wear out the battery or cause a malfunction.  
• Keep the remote control free of moisture, dust and water. Do  
not subject it to shock.  
• Do not place the remote control unit where it will get hot, such  
as on the dashboard or near a heater vent. Allowing the remote  
control unit to overheat may warp its case or cause other  
problems.  
• Do not operate the remote control unit while driving because  
doing so could cause an accident.  
• When using the remote control, point it directly at the remote  
control light receptor.  
• The light receptor may not operate correctly if it is exposed to  
bright light such as direct sunlight.  
• Be sure to press the [PWR] button on the main unit for more  
than two seconds to shut it down before leaving the car, or the  
car battery may be run down. When the main unit is shut down,  
the remote control will not work.  
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit whenever it  
is not to be used for a long time.  
Cleaning the remote control  
• Use a dry cloth to keep the unit clean. If the remote control unit  
gets extremely dirty, clean it with a cloth moistened in dilute  
liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or thinner; these  
compounds may damage the finish.  
• In no event should benzine or thinner be used. These  
substances will damage the case or finish.
