FCC ID: AJDK047
Note
MODEL NO.: DEH-80PRS
IC: 775E-K047
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment gen-
erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures:
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules
and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS stan-
dard(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or op-
erated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
The antenna for Bluetooth cannot be removed
(or replaced) by user.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio fre-
quency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple-
ment C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment
has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed
to comply without maximum permissive expo-
sure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that
it should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20 cm or more away from per-
son’s body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and ankles).
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Information to User
The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the
user’s right to operate the equipment.
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

This unit must create an index in order to facil-
itate Artists, Albums, Songs, and Genres
searches. Typically, it will take approximately
70 seconds to create an index for 1 000 songs,
and we recommend that up to 3 000 songs be
used. Please note that certain types of file
may take longer to index than others.
Depending on the number of files in the USB
storage device, there may be a delay when dis-
playing a list.
Keys may not have any effect during the crea-
tion of an index or list.
Lists are recreated each time the unit is

of LPF
You can then make precise adjustments to the
reproduced frequency band (with a low-pass
filter or high-pass filter), level, phase and other
parameters to match the characteristics of
each speaker unit.
Reproduced frequency band
Adjusting the HPF (high-pass filter) or LPF
(low-pass filter) cut-off frequency lets you set
the reproduced frequency band for each
speaker unit.
!
The HPF cuts frequencies (low) below the
set frequency, letting high frequencies
through.
!
The LPF cuts frequencies (high) above the
set frequency, letting low frequencies
through.
Level
The difference in reproduced levels between
speaker units can be corrected.
Slope
Adjusting the HPF/LPF slope (filter attenuation
slope) lets you adjust the continuity of sound
between speaker units.
!
The slope indicates the number of decibels
(dB) the signal is attenuated when the fre-
quency is one octave higher (lower) (Unit:
dB/oct.). The steeper the slope, the more
the signal is attenuated.

Phase
Phase adjustment
You can switch phase (normal, reverse) for
each speaker unit’s input signal. When the
continuity of sound between speakers is im-
precise, try switching phase. This may improve
the continuity of sound between speakers.
When the cross-over point value for filters on
both sides is set to –12 dB/oct., the phase is
reversed 180 degrees at the filter cut-off fre-
quency. In this case, reversing the phase as-
sures improved sound continuity.

Points concerning network adjustments
Cut-off frequency adjustment
!
With the low-range speaker installed in the
rear tray, if you set Low LPF cut-off fre-
quency high, bass sound is separated so
that it appears to come from the rear. You
are recommended to set Low LPF cut-off
frequency to 100 Hz or lower.
The maximum input power setting for mid-
dle-range and high-range speakers is
usually lower than low-range speakers.
Please be aware that if the Mid HPF or
HighHPF cut-off frequency is set lower
than required, strong bass signal input
may damage the speaker.

Muting the speaker unit (filter)
You can mute each speaker unit (filter). When
a speaker unit (filter) is muted, no sound is

If you set a small absolute value for the
slope (for a gentle slope), interference be-
tween adjacent speaker units can easily re-
sult in degraded frequency response.
If you set a large absolute value for the
slope (for a steep slope), continuity of
sound between speaker units is degraded,
and sounds appear to be separated.
If you set the slope to 0 dB/oct. (pass), the
audio signal bypasses the filter, so the filter
does not have an effect.

CAUTION
!
Thoroughly check the conditions before per-
forming auto TA and EQ as the speakers may
be damaged if these functions are performed
when:
— The speakers are incorrectly connected.
(For example, when a rear speaker is con-
nected as a subwoofer output.)
Notes
!
The AM volume level can also be adjusted
with this function.
!
The USB/SD volume level can also be ad-
justed with this function.
— A speaker is connected to a power amp de-
livering output higher than the speaker’s
maximum input power capability.
If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable
position the measurement tone may become
loud and measurement may take a long time,
resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place
the microphone in the specified location.
Using automatic sound levelizer
During driving, noise in the car changes ac-
cording to the driving speed and road condi-
tions. The automatic sound levelizer (ASL)
monitors such varying noise and automati-
cally increases the volume level, if this noise
becomes greater. The sensitivity (variation of
volume level to noise level) of ASL can be set
to one of five levels.
!
Before operating the auto TA and EQ
function
1
Use M.C. to select ASL.
!
Perform auto TA and EQ in a quiet place,
with both the car engine and air condition-
ing switched off. Also turn off any car
phones or portable telephones in the car, or
remove them from the car. Sounds other
than the measurement tone (such as sur-
rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-
phones ringing) may prevent correct
measurement of the car’s interior acoustic
characteristics.

Turn LEVER to select the desired ASL
level.
Low (low)—Mid-L (mid-low)—Mid (mid)—
Mid-H (mid-high)—High (high)
!
Be sure to perform auto TA and EQ using
the supplied microphone. Using another
microphone may prevent measurement, or
result in incorrect measurement of the
car’s interior acoustic characteristics.
In order to perform auto TA and EQ, the
front speaker must be connected.
When muting the front speaker units, auto
TA and EQ cannot be carried out. (Refer to
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time
alignment and auto-equalizing)
Auto-time alignment automatically adjusts the
time alignment according to the distance be-
tween the listening position and each speaker.
The auto-equalizer automatically measures
the car’s interior acoustic characteristics, and
then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on
that information.

When this unit is connected to a power
amp with input level control, auto TA and

When this unit is connected to a power
amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before
performing auto TA and EQ. Also set the
cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an
active subwoofer to the highest frequency.
The time alignment value resulting from
auto TA and EQ has been calculated by a
computer and is the optimum delay time
that will give accurate results. Be sure to
use the resulting value although it may dif-
fer from the actual distance when:
— The reflected sound within the car is
strong and delays occur.
Performing auto TA and EQ
Stop the car in a place that is quiet,
close all the doors, windows and sun roof,
and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, the noise from
the engine may cause incorrect auto TA and EQ.

When connecting tweeters, please confirm
the tweeter’s usable frequency range.
When you set the cut-off frequency, set
higher than the lowest usable frequency of
the tweeter.
Auto TA uses higher range than 10 kHz for
measurement. Therefore, using the tweeter
that cannot reproduce 10 kHz frequency
range may damage the tweeter. When auto
TA and EQ is operated, be sure to set the
appropriate cut-off frequency. Also, use the
tweeter that can reproduce 10 kHz at the
lowest usable frequency.
