Using the equalizer

The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to match car interior acoustic characteristics as desired.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are seven stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list of the equalizer curves:

!Custom1 and Custom2 are adjusted equal- izer curves.

!When Flat is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between Flat and a set equalizer curve.

% On the normal display, touch EQ to se- lect the equalizer.

Touch EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol- lowing equalizers:

Powerful???Natural???Vocal???Flat???Custom1

???Custom2???Super Bass

# If SFC instead of EQ appears on the normal display, touch SFC and hold to switch to equalizer function. About SFC, refer to Using the sound field control on this page.

Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

!One of the greatest advantages to hear music in live is the original acoustic sound that is echoed or reflected against the stage surroundings. The SFC circuitry en- ables to reproduce the live performing sound in car environment by programming the direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections effects and characterizing the sound from CD, DVD or other medium so it becomes closer to the live acoustic sound.

1On the normal display, touch EQ and hold to switch to SFC function.

Touch EQ and hold until Sound Field Control appears in the display.

# To switch to equalizer function, touch EQ and hold again.

2Touch SFC to select the desired SFC mode.

Touch SFC repeatedly to switch between the following modes:

MUSICAL (musical)???DRAMA (drama)??? ACTION (action)???JAZZ (jazz)???HALL (hall)??? CLUB (club)???OFF (off)

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.

Digital Signal Processor

Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and center equalizer curves separately by selecting a cen- ter frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band.

!A separate Custom1 curve can be created for each source.

!A Custom2 curve can be created common 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.

% Touch PARAMETRIC EQ on the DSP function menu.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto- equalizing)

Only when the multi-channel processor (e.g., DEQ-P7650/DEQ-P6600) is connected to this unit, you can operate this function.

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.

<CRB2163-B>84

Digital Signal Processor

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.

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.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio con- nectivity technology that is developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, hand- held PCs and other devices. Bluetooth oper- ates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) that comprises of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2 000 companies worldwide.

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.

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.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels.

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.

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

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.

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.
