FCC ID: AJDK047

MODEL NO.: DEH-80PRS

IC: 775E-K047

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).

Information to User

Alteration or modifications carried out without

appropriate authorization may invalidate the

user’s right to operate the equipment.

Note

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:

- 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.

The Safety of Your Ears is in

Your Hands

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.

En 3

Section

Before you start

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

!Set your volume control at a low setting.

!Slowly increase the sound until you can

hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-

tortion.

!Once you have established a comfortable

sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

GUIDELINES:

!Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can’t hear what’s around you.

!Use caution or temporarily discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.

!Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle; the use of headphones

may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in

many areas.

About the network function

The network function lets you divide the audio

signal into different frequency bands, and

then reproduce each of them through sepa-

rate speaker units.

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.

En 23

Section

Operating this unit

Adjustable parameters

The network function enables adjustment of

the following parameters. Make adjustments

in line with the reproduced frequency band

and characteristics of each connected speaker

unit.

Reproduced frequency band

Slope (dB/oct.)

Level

(dB)

Cut-off frequency

of LPF

Cut-off frequency

of HPF

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

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.

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.

Level adjustment

The basic frequencies of many musical instru-

ments are in the middle range. First perform

middle-range level adjustment, followed by

high-range and then low-range level adjust-

ment in that order.

Slope adjustment

!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.

Section

02 Operating this unit

Phase adjustment

When the cross-over point value for filters on

Section

Operating this unit

WARNING

As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the

speakers when measuring the car’s interior

acoustic characteristics, never perform auto TA

or auto EQ while driving.

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.)

—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.

Before operating the auto TA and EQ

function

!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.

!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

page 27.)

!When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto TA and

EQ may not be possible if the power amp’s

input level is set below the standard level.

!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.

—The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-

nal amps delay the lower sounds.

!Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings

as follows:

—The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to Using fader/

balance adjustment on page 22.)

—The graphic equalizer curve switches to

Flat. (Refer to page 28.)

—When a subwoofer is connected to this

unit, it will be adjusted automatically to

both subwoofer output and high pass fil-

ter setting for rear speaker.

!Previous settings for auto TA and EQ will be

overwritten.

!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.

Section

02 Operating this unit

Performing auto TA and EQ

1 Stop the car in a place that is quiet,

close all the doors, windows and sun roof,

DualDiscs

DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable

CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for

video on the other.

Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically com-

patible with the general CD standard, it may not be

possible to play the CD side with this unit.

Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-

sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can

lead to playback problems on this unit. In some

cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-

ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-

mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.

Please refer to the information from the disc manu-

facturer for more detailed information about

DualDiscs.
