Before operating the auto TA
and EQ function
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.
!
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.
WARNING
!
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.
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.
!
!
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 ampꢀs input
level to the standard position.
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.
!
!
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.
ꢄ When speakers are incorrectly connected.
(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to
a subwoofer output.)
ꢄ When a speaker is connected to a power
amp delivering output higher than the
speakerꢀs 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.
ꢄ When the reflected sound within a vehi-
cle is strong and delays occur.
ꢄ When delays occur for low sounds due
to the influence of the LPF on active
subwoofers or external amps.

Titles and other text information recorded
on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-

Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW
discs before using them.

When playing discs with MP3 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 and CD-DA.
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-

Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3 files and
burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the

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 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.

It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3 files. (These folders will be
skipped without displaying the folder number.)
MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be

!
A small fluorescent tube is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
ꢄ 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 crystal display (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 damage
the LCD screen, and cool air from the cool-
er may cause moisture to form inside the
display 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.
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.
ꢄ 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
PIONEER Service Station.
!
!
At low temperatures, the LCD screen may
be dark for a while after the power is turned
on.

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.
DTS
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is
a surround system delivering multi-channel
audio from up to 6 independent channels.
Dynamicrange control
Bit rate
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.
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.
Group
Bonus group
An ꢅextraꢀ group on some DVD audio discs
that requires a key number to access.
A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc.
Equivalent to a DVD video title.
ID3 tag
Browsable pictures
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tistꢀs 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.
A feature of some DVD audio discs in which
you can browse still pictures recorded on the
disc while the audio is played back.
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.
ISO9660 format
Dolby Digital
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.
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.
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
ꢁ_ꢂ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-
ters).
Dolby Pro LogicII
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

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-
cluding the separation mark ꢁ.ꢂ and a file ex-
tension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats

ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.
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 ꢁWINAMPꢂ soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
Packed PCM
MP3
A lossless compression system that enables
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD audio
disc than would otherwise be possible.
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.
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 unitꢀs 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 unitꢀs region
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.
Slideshow
A feature of some DVD discs in which still pic-
tures recorded on the disc cycle automatically
while the audio is played back.
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.
