Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre- ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing) on this page).

You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

# You cannot use this function if auto TA and EQ has not been carried out.

2 Touch ON to turn the auto-equalizer on.

# To turn auto-equalizer off, touch OFF.

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

Only when the multi-channel processor (e.g., DEQ-P8000) 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.

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.

!Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings as below:

???The fader/balance settings return to the center position. (Refer to page 90.)

???The equalizer curve switches to Flat. (Refer to page 96.)

???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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

128 En

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.

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.

Additional Information

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.
