CD Receivers Brochure
Circle Surround II
Digital circuits benefit from signals staying in
the digital domain as long as possible, helping
to minimize distortion and noise. All signal
processing in the CD Receivers remains
entirely in the digital domain until the last stage
prior to power amplification. The final level of
audio performance also relies on high-
performance digital to analog conversion. As
this process greatly influences final sound
quality, a proprietary DAC is utilized so
distortion is minimized and S/N ratio stays
high.
High-performance DSP
Parametric EQ
This sophisticated equalization method is the
best for achieving a smooth, well-balanced in-
car system frequency response that
overcomes the frequency peaks and dips often
encountered in automobile environments due
to the combination of hard, reflective surfaces
and soft, absorbing surfaces. Parametric EQ
allows selecting a frequency band as well as
bandwidth for an even system response.
3-band Graphic EQ
An additional EQ method to
adjust the tonal characteristics
of program material to suit
user preferences.
High voltage and low impedance output
Focus
Generates virtual speakers that create a
front-firing, higher-positioned soundfield.
TruBass
Generates a virtual subwoofer for
satisfying low frequency
reinforcement.
Circle Surround
Multichannel surround
sound is generated from
any audio source.
Analog AM/FM signal is sent to a A/D converter before entering the DSP.

This technology enhances in-car listening
enjoyment with a powerful combination of
three functions. Circle Surround generates
surround sound from any audio source such
as CDs, MP3 files and radio broadcasts with
just four speakers. Focus raises the stereo
soundfield, making the sound appear to be
coming from directly in front at ear level.
Its use complements surround sound to
create a rich, enveloping soundfield. TruBass
is technology based on psychoacoustics and
scientific knowledge of the human hearing
system to generate bass sounds extending
lower than a small speaker’s response so that
a subwoofer is not required.
The new CD Receiver line delivers outstanding audio performance across the board for each model. By adhering
to ECLIPSE’s time-proven audio philosophy and incorporating advancements where possible by combining the
best of digital and analog, the new CD Receivers provide significantly better audio quality that greatly enhances
the enjoyment of music.
Featured in the CD8455 and CD8445, this single
sophisticated chip contains the Parametric EQ,
Multi-Harmonizer, Time Alignment and
Crossover functions as well as level.
Audio
Highend audio products usually are
engineered to have preamp outputs that have
high voltages along with low impedances.
These characteristics are desirable from an
audio electronics point of view as they enable
driving downstream amplifiers optimally to
reap other benefits such as a higher signal-
to-noise ratio and increased dynamics. Each
CD receiver ensures any connected external
amplifier will deliver optimal performance.

AUX Input
When connecting external sources, the
AUX input has adjustable sensitivity for
perfect matching to cut extraneous noise
and improve S/N ratios.
MOSFET 50W × 4
power amplification
MOSFET devices are used for power
amplification due to their desirable
characteristics — drawing less current
and requiring less power — as well as
providing a more natural sound.
Multi-Harmonizer
Digital music files in formats such as
MP3, WMA and ATRAC3 lose harmonic
data during the encoding process because
of the compression that is applied. Multi-
Harmonizer restores the lost harmonic
data, allowing files to sound much better.
Crossover
To create a smoother, system response in
a multi speaker unit system the frequency
point and slope can be tweaked for
optimal crossover settings .

Notes : Areas Shot is convenient for reviewing the route. However, the car must not be in motion when using Area Shot.
GPS option for CD8455 and CD8445 allows current position to be displayed.
ECLIPSE’s E-iSERV has raised user
customization to a new level that many thought
could not be done. By using the internet and a
personal computer, the user can access
functions and features that can optimize in-car
system response and provide map guidance,
along with customizing displays and
enhanced control abilities.
Adding value to CD Receivers with map viewing
and route assistance, this feature allows
searching for a destination and downloading the
route to get there. Once the data has been
input into the CD Receiver, it can be viewed to
confirm the route.

Time Alignment Optimizes system response by manipulating the arrival times of sounds from various speakers positioned in different
locations to arrive at a listener’s ears simultaneously, creating better imaging. Initial adjustment starts with selecting a mode.
Access E-iSERV from a personal computer to start audio customization with 3 independent processes.
Crossover
The data from the two
customization procedures above
can then be downloaded to the
user’s computer where it can be put
on a Memory Stick which can then
be inserted into the CD Receiver.
Allows selecting the frequency points where one speaker component’s response crosses over to another driver.
The goal is to achieve a smooth, natural response across the entire frequency spectrum, without speaker discontinuities.
Parametric EQ
In the Time Alignment Pro
mode window, follow the
directions and input values to
set time delay and speaker
level for each of the system’s
speakers one by one. Each
speaker is highlighted in the
display so adjustment is
simple and all data is input
into the E-iSERV server.
In the Time Alignment
Easy mode window, the
process is simpler, with
vehicle type such as
sedan, compact, SUV
etc., tweeter and rear
speaker positions to
select.
In the Crossover Pro mode
window, speaker cutoff
frequencies and slope
settings can be selected for a
system comprising full 3-way
multi component speakers as
well a 4-speaker plus
subwoofer system.
Allows selecting the
subwoofer and the
frequency at which it
comes into operation.
In the Parametric EQ Pro
mode window, the
amplitude, center frequency
and bandwidth for each of
ten frequency bands can be
adjusted: 5 bands each for
the front and rear speakers
and 5 bands each for the low
and high frequencies can be
selected for each channel.
In the Parametric EQ
Easy mode window,
7 frequency bands
across the entire
frequency spectrum
for each channel can
be adjusted.
Defeats a car’s interior acoustic anomalies that cause significant peaks and dips in the overall
frequency response with precise equalization control that can pinpoint problem frequencies.
The optimized parametric EQ settings can now be downloaded onto a Memory Stick which
again can be inserted into the CD Receiver that automatically makes the necessary changes.
Now the user’s car optimization process is complete.
Easy
Professional Professional
Once the CD Receiver has
received the data it will run a
frequency analysis. This data
is then downloaded to an MS
so that it can be sent to
E-iSERV via a PC.

The difficult task of providing the most in-demand features of a head unit in terms of performance and convenience has
been met in a spectacular manner with the CD5435 and CD5425 units. Well ahead of any other head units in their class,
the CD5435 and CD5425 offer superior performance for handling just about any form of audio optical disc. The CD5435
will also accommodate WMA files.

The top models in the CD Receivers line
incorporate full dot vacuum fluorescent
displays with highly legible alphanumeric
characters. There are also eight levels of
adjustment to suit user preferences as well as
a Bright & Dimmer control for more
adjustment. E-LAN data link system
ECLIPSE's E-LAN only requires a single cable
that carries control signals as well as
transmission signals to connect components
of a mobile entertainment system. E-LAN
also ensures upstream compatibility with
future ECLIPSE products.
SVC (Source Volume Control)
The fully digital circuitry featured in the new
CD Receivers makes it possible to offer
functions such as Source Volume Control that
can automatically level the volume settings of
all sources, eliminating the annoying
differences in volume experienced when
switching from radio to CD or DVD.

ECLIPSE's proven theft-deterrent measure
uses a user-designated CD or a Memory Stick
depending on the CD receiver model to
control system activation. The selected media
can be set to be a key device that the system
must "see" before it will activate. Without the
key device, the system remains locked and
will not operate.
