Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a

live performance.

!The acoustics of different performance en-

vironments are not the same and depend

on the extent and contour of space through

which sound waves move and on how

sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors

and ceilings. At a live performance you

hear music in three stages: direct sound,

early reflections, and late reflections, or re-

verberations. Those factors are programed

into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous-

tics of various performance settings.

Note

If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-

channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC

effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel

audio (i.e., MUSICAL,DRAMA or ACTION), we

recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the

other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are

intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ,

HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby

Pro Logic II off.

Using the position selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to

accurately position the stereo image, putting

you right in the center of the sound field. The

position selector function lets you automati-

cally adjust the speaker output levels and in-

serts a delay time to match the number and

position of occupied seats. When used in con-

junction with the SFC, the feature will make

the sound image more natural and offer a pa-

noramic sound that envelops you.

For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer

curves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen-

ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a

center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q

factor for each band.

!A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre-

ated for each source.

!ACUSTOM2 curve can be created com-

mon to all sources.

!The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance right

isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-

ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting

the balance right among the speakers ex-

cept for the center, and then reproducing a

5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-

justing the center speaker output to the

balance you have already got among the

other speakers.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time

alignment and auto-equalizing)

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.

Section

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.

!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 audio settings

as below:

—The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to page 76.)

—The equalizer curve switches to FLAT.

(Refer to page 81.)

—It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center and

rear speaker.

!If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-

vious setting of this already exists, the set-

ting will be replaced.

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.

3 Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car’s air conditioner or heater is turned

on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air

conditioner or heater may prevent correct auto

TA and EQ.

#Press SRC to turn the source on if this unit is

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.

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 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.

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.

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).

Additional Information

Appendix

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.

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.

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.

Optical digital output/input

By transmitting and receiving audio signals in

a digital signal format, the chance of sonic

quality deteriorating in the course of transmis-

sion is minimized. An optical digital output/

input is designed to transmit and receive digi-

tal signals optically.

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

En 99

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.

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

Corporation. 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
