Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some CD-R and
CD-RW discs may not be playable. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.
New discs may
have some
roughness
around the

or the like to remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.
Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil
or pen.
Never play a compact disc with any cellophane
tape or other glue on it or with peeling off
marks. If you try to play such a compact disc,
you may not be able to remove it from the CD
player or it may damage the CD player.
Handling Compact Discs
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of
such discs may cause misoperation or
damage.
•To remove a compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or
break the internal mechanism.
Storage
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.
Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.
Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.
Cleaning
•To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.
Do not use any solvents, such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean compact discs.
After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

5. DCP
The control panel can be detached to prevent
theft. When detaching the control panel, store it
in the DCP (DETACHABLE CONTROL PANEL)
case to prevent scratches.
We recommend taking the DCP with you when
leaving the car.
Removing the DCP
1. Press the [Q] button to open the DCP.
2. Move the DCP detaching slider to the
RELEASE” side.
3. Push and slide the DCP upward to remove.
The SLOPING CONSOLE without DCP
closes automatically in a few seconds.
CAUTION
Do not try to remove or attach while
driving.
The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.
After removing it, be careful not to drop it
or subject it to strong shocks.
If you purchased a replacement DCP, an
electrical adjustment is necessary.
This adjustment requires technical
knowledge.
Please consult Clarion service or a Clarion
service station.
Attaching the DCP
1. Place the DCP to the SLOPING CONSOLE,
adjusting the metal connecters on DCP and
the SLOPING CONSOLE.
2. Press the DCP until it clicks into the
SLOPING CONSOLE.
*The DCP display lights and is ready to use.
3. Move the DCP detaching slider to the
LOCK” side.
CAUTION
If the slider is on the [RELEASE] side and
the DCP is not locked into place, it may fall
out from vibration of the car. This can break
the DCP, so after removing it, either firmly
reattach it on the unit or put it in its DCP
case.
The connector connecting the unit and the
DCP is an extremely important part. Be
careful not to damage it by pressing on it
with fingernails, screwdrivers, etc.
Note:
If the DCP is dirty, wipe off the dirt with a soft, dry
cloth only.

What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial
size with a high sound quality. This means about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media
Audio, an audio file format developed by
Microsoft Corporation.
Notes:
If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights
Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is
output. (The DRM indicator blinks.)

Setting the ADF
ADF is the abbreviation of Anti Distortion
Filter.
The adopted Liveliness Enhancement Filter
and “Sound Tone Compensationfunctions
allow well-modulated realistic playback without
affecting the characteristics of the original sound
tone.
This unit is provided with 4 types of sound tone
effects stored in memory. Select the one you
prefer.
ADF-1 : Suitable for genuine speakers
ADF-2 : Suitable for separate speakers
ADF-3 : Suitable for co-axial speakers
USER : This setting can be adjusted by the
user to his or her individual preference.
OFF : No sound effect
The factory default setting is “OFF”.
Notes:
As the volume changes when ADF is switched,
switch ADF with the volume and SW VOLUME
(sub-woofer) and CTR VOLUME(center
speaker) turned down as far as possible.
On some speaker systems, sufficient effect
sometimes cannot be obtained. If this happens,
adjust the volume.
When ADF is set to “USER”, “1”, “2or “3”, the
VSE function and BASS/TREB function under
EQ-SELECT are disabled.

GAIN (gain adjustment)

Q (Q curve selection)
Sets one of 1, 3, 5, 7, or 20 as the sharpness of
the Q curve.
Compensation
There is no need to compensate frequency
characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or
valleys) when you have measured the frequency
characteristics with a measuring device.
However, sometimes the frequency
characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this
happens, the frequency characteristics must be
compensated. Create a frequency curve having
characteristics that are opposite to the center
frequency of parts where the characteristics rise
and fall to cancel out these peaks and values,
and make the frequency characteristics as flat
as possible.
Making the frequency characteristics as flat as
possible is called compensation”.
On this unit, frequency characteristics can be
compensated by P.EQ (Parametric Equalizer).
Compensation of frequency

The figure below shows the relationship
between the center frequency, gain and Q
curve.

The Q curve becomes sharper when the

Flat frequency characteristics can be made by

technology in which updated digital matrix
technology is applied and Dolby Pro Logic is
further improved. Dolby Pro Logic II realizes

surround source as well as stereo sound
sources such as CDs, thereby causing a
surround channel to be full-ranged (20 Hz to 20
kHz) and become stereo. Therefore, you can
enjoy any stereo sources with dynamic sound of
5.1 channel. The Music Mode or Matrix Mode
can be selected according to a source to be
reproduced.
