Introduction to built-in DSP

features

Important

We recommend that you record the settings in

the sheet on page 135 after you have completed

audio adjustments.

DSP modes

This unit features two DSP modes: the net-

work mode and the standard mode. You can

switch between DSP modes as desired. Initi-

ally, 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 stan-

dard 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 ad-

justing 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 multi-

channel mode only.

!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.

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 chan-

nel information for each source group. Chan-

ging 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 multi-

channel mode independently. Moreover,

sound settings can be stored for both the net-

work 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. Per-

forming Auto TA and EQ creates auto set-

tings (AUTO) which are adjusted finely for

both 2-channel mode and multi-channel

mode. However, AUTO cannot be custo-

mized.

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:

!DVD audio

Audio setup procedure

Standard mode

First, perform Auto TA and EQ. Auto TA and

EQ creates finely-tuned sound field for both 2-

channel mode and multi-channel mode ac-

cording to your vehicle interior acoustic char-

acteristics. (Refer to Auto TA and EQ (auto-time

alignment and auto-equalizing) on page 106.)

If AUTO TA and EQ has been completed,

sound setting is set to AUTO.

Basically, that’s all you need to do to adjust

the audio setting and no other fine tuning is

necessary.

However, according to your wishes, it is possi-

ble to customize audio settings based on Auto

TA and EQ settings. By carrying out the follow-

ing settings/adjustments in the order shown,

you can customize sound field effortlessly.

You can use this function only when

Switching the DSP setting mode on page 117.)

The auto-time alignment is automatically ad-

justed 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 follow-

ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be

sure to check the conditions thoroughly be-

fore 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 capabil-

ity.

!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 loca-

tion.

Before operating the auto TA

and EQ function

!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 be-

fore carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds

other than the measurement tone (sur-

rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-

phones 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 circum-

stances, so please continue to use this

value.

—When the reflected sound within a vehi-

cle is strong and delays occur.

—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 pre-

vious setting of this already exists, the set-

ting 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 cen-

ter of the headrest of the driver’s seat, fa-

cing 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.

include MP3/WMA/AAC files. (These folders

will be skipped without displaying the folder

number.)

!MP3/WMA/AAC files in up to 8 tiers of folders

can be played back. However, there is a delay

in the start of playback on discs with numer-

ous tiers. For this reason we recommend

creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

!It is possible to play back up to 255 folders on

one disc.

JPEG picture files

!JPEG is short for Joint Photographic Ex-

perts Group and refers to a still image com-

pression technology standard.

!Files are compatible with Baseline JPEG

and EXIF 2.1 still image up to resolution of

8 192 × 7 680. (EXIF format is used most

commonly with digital still cameras.)

!EXIF format that processed by the personal

computer may not be played back.

!There is no progressive JPEG compatibility.

Important

!When naming a JPEG picture file, add the cor-

responding filename extension (.jpg, .jpeg or

.jpe).

!This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.jpg, .jpeg or .jpe) as a JPEG picture

file. To prevent malfunctions, do not use these

extensions for files other than JPEG picture

Terms

AAC

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and

refers to an audio compression technology

standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.

Aspect ratio

This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.

A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.

Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of

16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional

presence and atmosphere.

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps

(bits per second) units. The higher the rate,

the more information is available to reproduce

the sound. Using the same encoding method

(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better

the sound.

Bonus group

An ‘extra’group on some DVD audio discs

that requires a key number to access.

Browsable pictures

A feature of some DVD audio discs in which

you can browse still pictures recorded on the

disc while the audio is played back.

Chapter

DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters

which are numbered in the same way as the

chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea-

turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired

scene with chapter search.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by

DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly com-

pressed video with high visual quality that

maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files

can also include advanced media features like

menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.

Many DivX media files are available for down-

load online, and you can create your own

using your personal content and easy-to-use

tools from DivX.com.

DivX Certified

DivX Certified products are officially tested by

the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all

versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.

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 out-

put 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-band-

width output channels from two-channel

sources. This new technology enables a dis-

crete 5-channel playback with 2 front chan-

nels, 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

En 137

Appendix

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 ownpro-

cessing 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 chan-

nel sources.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES is a decoder that is capable of decod-

ing both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Ma-

trix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

gives ‘true’6.1 channel sound, with a comple-

tely separate (discrete) surround back chan-

nel. 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 le-

vels.

EXIF (Exchangeable image file)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for

digital still cameras. Digital cameras from var-

ious 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.

ID3 tag

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

formation can include the track title, the ar-

tist’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 num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for-

mat 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 con-

sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English

capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

“_”sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters).

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark “.”and a file ex-

tension). 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 com-

pression standard.

Additional Information

Appendix

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 re-

corded with higher sampling frequency and

bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide

higher sound quality.

m3u

Playlists created using the “WINAMP”soft-

ware 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 Stan-

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts

Group, and is an international video image

compression standard. Some DVDs feature di-

gital audio compressed and recorded using

this system.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential

pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-

cording system used for the multimedia soft-

ware 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, let-

ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi-

ple 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 al-

lows 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-ses-

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.

Multi-subtitle

Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-

corded 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. How-

ever, 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-or-

iented scenes feature parental lock which pre-

vents 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.

Additional Information

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 pos-

sible unless it features the same region num-

ber 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 pic-

tures recorded on the disc cycle automatically

while the audio is played back.

Title

DVD video discs have high data capacity, en-

abling recording of multiple movies on a sin-

gle 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 func-

tions.

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 compres-

sion, it is possible to achieve compression-

priority sound quality.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media™Audio

and refers to an audio compression technol-

ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using

Windows Media Player version 7 or later.

Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-

demarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft
