Important
We recommend that you record the settings in
the sheet on page 135 after you have completed
audio adjustments.

! Graphic equalizer (GRAPHIC EQ) can be
used for 2-channel mode only.
! Parametric equalizer (PARAMETRIC EQ)
can be used for multi-channel mode only.
Note
When selecting 2-channel mode, audio does not
be output from front center and rear center
speakers.

DSP modes
This unit features two DSP modes: the network mode and the standard mode. You can
switch between DSP modes as desired. Initially, the DSP mode is set to the standard
mode. (Refer to Switching the DSP setting
mode on page 117.)
! Auto TA and EQ can be used for the standard mode only. (Refer to Auto TA and EQ
(auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)
on page 106 and Using the auto-equalizer
on page 105.)
! A 2-way front speaker output can be used
for the network mode only.
Note
Switching the DSP mode erases the current adjusting audio settings (LAST MEMORY). If
needed, memorize it into custom settings
(CUSTOM1, CUSTOM2 or CUSTOM3).

Output channel modes
(2CH/Multi CH)
This unit has two output channel modes for
each DSP mode: the 2-channel mode and the
multi-channel mode. You can switch between
output channel modes depending on the
source that you have selected.
! Dolby Pro Logic II/Dolby Digital EX and DTS
Neo:6 (Dolby/DTS) can be used for multichannel mode only.

Sound settings (SETTING1,
SETTING2 or SETTING3)
Created acoustic sound field can be stored in
this unit and called up easily. Additionally, this
unit stores the sound setting and output channel information for each source group. Changing the source switches sound setting and
output channel information for each source
group at the same time.
Three types of sound settings can be set and
stored for both 2-channel mode and multichannel mode independently. Moreover,
sound settings can be stored for both the network mode and the standard mode. Therefore,
a total of 12 types of sound settings can be set
and stored.
! Auto TA and EQ can be performed only
when the standard mode is selected. Performing Auto TA and EQ creates auto settings (AUTO) which are adjusted finely for
both 2-channel mode and multi-channel
mode. However, AUTO cannot be customized.

Source groups
Each source stores both sound settings and
output channels information. When a DVD
player (built-in or optional) is selected as a
source, the each medium stores these settings
independently.
Media of DVD player are listed as follows:

The auto-time alignment is automatically adjusted 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.

WARNING
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.

CAUTION
! Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the following conditions may damage the speakers. Be
sure to check the conditions thoroughly before carrying out auto TA and EQ.
— When speakers are incorrectly connected.
(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to
a subwoofer output.)
— When a speaker is connected to a power
amp delivering 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 a drain on battery power. Be sure
to place the microphone in the specified location.

Section

Audio Adjustments

Before operating the auto TA
and EQ function

— When delays occur for low sounds due
to the influence of the LPF on active
subwoofers or external amps.
! Auto TA and EQ changes the fader/balance
settings to the center position. (Refer to
page 92.)
! If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a previous setting of this already exists, the setting will be replaced.
! Even if auto TA and EQ is carried out,
sound settings (SETTING1 to SETTING3)
and custom settings (CUSTOM1 to
CUSTOM3) are retained in the memory.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ
1 Stop the car in a place that is as quiet
as possible, close all doors, windows and
the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may
prevent correct auto TA and EQ.
2 Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold
separately).
The auto TA and EQ may differ depending on
where you place the microphone. If desired,
place the microphone on the front passenger
seat to carry out auto TA and EQ.

Audio Adjustments

! 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 before carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds
other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct
measurement of the car interior acoustic
characteristics.
! 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.
! When front speaker is not connected, auto
TA and EQ cannot be carried out.
! If a speaker size is set to OFF, audio does
not output from the speaker even when the
speaker is installed.
! 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 amp’s input
level to the standard position.
! 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 circumstances, so please continue to use this
value.
— When the reflected sound within a vehicle is strong and delays occur.

Dolby Digital
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.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is
done using a matrix decoder that derives three
surround channels from the two in the original
recording.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II can create five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel
sources. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. A
music mode is also available for 2-channel
sources in addition to the movie mode.
DTS
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is
a surround system delivering multi-channel
audio from up to 6 independent channels.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is an extension of the original DTS
Digital Surround which offers high quality 96
kHz/24-bit audio using a DTS 96/24 decoder.
This format is also fully backward compatible
with all existing decoders. This means that
DVD players can play this software using a
conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.

Additional Information

DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround
sound from any matrixed stereo source (such
as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources.
It uses both the channel information already
encoded into the source, as well as its ownprocessing to determine channel localization
(with two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer
channel is generated by bass management in
the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music)
are available using DTS Neo:6 with two channel sources.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES is a decoder that is capable of decoding both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
gives ‘true’ 6.1 channel sound, with a completely separate (discrete) surround back channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back
channel matrixed into the surround left/right
channels. Both sources are also compatible
with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.
Dynamic range control
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 levels.
EXIF (Exchangeable image file)
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for
digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufacturers use this compressed file
format which carries date, time and thumbnail
information, as well as the picture data.
Group
A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc.
Equivalent to a DVD video title.

138

ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s 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 number of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
“_” sign, with a file-extension of three characters).
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
JPEG
This stands for Joint Photographic Experts
Group, and is an international still image compression standard.

Appendix

Additional Information

m3u
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard set by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc.
MPEG
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts
Group, and is an international video image
compression standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using
this system.
MS ADPCM
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential
pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for the multimedia software of Microsoft Corporation.
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
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)
Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages

can be recorded on a single disc, letting you
choose as desired.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows 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-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc.

Additional Information

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 recorded 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 recorded on a single DVD, letting you choose as
desired.
Number of quantization bits
The number of quantization bits is one factor
in the overall sound quality; the higher the
“bit-depth”, the better the sound quality. However, increasing the bit-depth also increases
the amount of data and therefore storage
space required.
Packed PCM
A lossless compression system that enables
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD audio
disc than would otherwise be possible.
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.
Parental lock
Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With
this kind of disc, if you set the unit’s parental
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for
children will be disabled, or these scenes will
be skipped.

Appendix

Additional Information

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 possible unless it features the same region number as the DVD player. This unit’s region
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.
Slideshow
A feature of some DVD discs in which still pictures recorded on the disc cycle automatically
while the audio is played back.
Title
DVD video discs have high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple movies on a single 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 functions.
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 compression, it is possible to achieve compressionpriority sound quality.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio
and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
