fer setting) has been selected.

Audio is heard only over the center speaker if  
installed and the center speaker setting is  
SMALL or LARGE.  
Correcting the subwoofers phase  
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.  
Selecting a cut-off frequency  
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-  
fer.

Recalling equalizer curves  
There are seven stored equalizer curves which  
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list  
of the equalizer curves:  
Adjusting the time alignment  
By adjusting the distance between each  
speaker and a selected listening position, you  
can insert delay times into the speaker output  
to obtain a correct sound image and overall  
level balance. Although this is automatically  
achieved when you set the listening position,  
the time alignment feature provides a fine ad-  
justment.

AdditionalInformation  
!
The display should be used within the tem-  
perature ranges shown below.  
Operating temperature range: 10 to +50  
°C  
Storage temperature range: 20 to +80 °C  
At temperatures higher or lower than the  
operating temperature range the display  
may not operate normally.  
The LCD screen of this unit is exposed in  
order to increase its visibility within the ve-  
hicle. Please do not press strongly on it as  
this may damage it.  
Do not place anything on the display when  
it is deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry  
out angle adjustment, or open/close the  
display by hand. Applying strong force to  
the display may damage it.  
!
At low temperatures, the LCD screen may  
be dark for a while after the power is turned  
on.  
The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
When using a portable phone, keep the an-  
tenna of the portable phone away from the  
display to prevent disruption of the video by  
the appearance of spots, colored stripes,  
etc.

Keeping the display in good  
condition  
!
When removing dust from the screen or  
cleaning the display, first turn the system  
power off, then wipe with the supplied  
cloth.  
When wiping the screen, take care not to  
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or  
abrasive chemical cleaners.  
!
!
Do not push the LCD screen with much  
force as this may scratch it.  
!
Be careful not to place anything between  
the display and the main body when the  
display is opening or closing. If an object  
gets between the display and main body,  
the display may stop working.  
Small fluorescent tube  
!
A small fluorescent tube is used inside the  
display to illuminate the LCD screen.  
The fluorescent tube should last for ap-  
proximately 10,000 hours, depending on  
operating conditions. (Using the display  
at low temperatures reduces the service  
life of the fluorescent tube.)  
Liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) screen  
!
If the display is near the vent of an air con-  
ditioner when it is opened, make sure that  
air from the air conditioner is not blowing  
on it. Heat from the heater may break the  
LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler  
may cause moisture to form inside the dis-  
play resulting in possible damage. Also, if  
the display is cooled down by the cooler,  
the screen may become dark, or the life  
span of the small fluorescent tube used in-  
side the display may be shortened.  
When the fluorescent tube reaches the  
end of its useful life, the screen will be  
dark and the image will no longer be  
projected. If this happens, consult your  
dealer or the nearest authorized PIO-  
NEER Service Station.  
!
Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)  
may appear on the LCD screen. These are  
due to the characteristics of the LCD  
screen and do not indicate a problem with  
the display.

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.  
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.  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
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 a MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tists name, the album title, the music genre,  
MP3  
MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working

AdditionalInformation  
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 in 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 this  
unit.  
Multi-subtitle  
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-  
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as  
desired.  
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.  
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 to flexibly adjust the bit rate  
according to the needs of audio compression,  
it is possible to achieve compression priorities  
sound quality.
