Audio Adjustments
Selecting the listening position
One way to assure a more natural sound is to
accurately position the stereo image, putting
you right in the center of the sound field. Se-
lecting the listening position lets you automa-
tically adjust the speaker output levels and
inserts a delay time to match the number and
position of occupied seats. When used with
the staging function, the sound image will be
more natural and you can feel as if a panora-
mic sound envelops you.

Using the equalizer
Using the sound field control
The SFC function creates the sensation of a
live performance.
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization
to match car interior acoustic characteristics
as desired.
!
One of the greatest advantages to hear
music in live is the original acoustic sound
that is echoed or reflected against the
stage surroundings. The SFC circuitry en-
ables to reproduce the live performing
sound in car environment by programming
the direct sound, early reflections, and late
reflections effects and characterizing the
sound from CD, DVD or other medium so it
becomes closer to the live acoustic sound.
Recalling equalizer curves
There are seven stored equalizer curves which
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list

If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable

Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings
as below:
— The fader/balance settings return to the
center position. (Refer to page 76.)
— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.
(Refer to page 82.)
— It will be adjusted automatically to high
pass filter setting for front, center and
rear speaker.
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.
!
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 amp’s 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.
2
Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-
ter of the headrest of the driver’s 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 the reflected sound within a vehi-
cle is strong and delays occur.
— When delays occur for low sounds due
to the influence of the LPF on active
subwoofers or external amps.
3
Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.
If the car’s 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.

In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-
ters 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 emphasis function is valid only when
MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen-
cies are played back. (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 formats.
!
!
!
!
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.
Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA
files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-
ROM, the files will be played back on this
player with a short pause between each
one, regardless of the length of the pause
between tracks on the original audio CD.
!
The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
!
!
!
This unit plays back WMA files encoded by
Windows Media Player version 7 and 8.
You can only play back WMA files in the fre-
quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
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.
!
This unit does not play back WMA files re-
corded as VBR (variable bit rate).
MP3 additional information
!
Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0, 1.1, 2.2 and 2.3 formats for display of
album (disc title), track (track title), artist
(track artist) and comments. Ver. 2.x of ID3
Tag is given priority when both Ver. 1.x and
Ver. 2.x exist.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio
from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is
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.
the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound
system used in theaters.
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.
DTS
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is
a surround system delivering multi-channel
audio from up to 6 independent channels.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio con-
nectivity technology that is developed as a
cable replacement for mobile phones, hand-
held PCs and other devices. Bluetooth oper-
ates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits
voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per
second. Bluetooth was launched by a special
interest group (SIG) that comprises of Ericsson
Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM
in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly
2 000 companies worldwide.
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-
tist’s 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.
Chapter
ISO9660 format
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.
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.
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).

Level 2:
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-
ting you choose your viewing angle 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-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.
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
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.
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.
Multi-subtitle
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as
desired.
m3u
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
Optical digital output/input
MP3
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.
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
MPEG
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 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 unit’s 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

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. This unit’s region
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.
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 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.
