1. CONFIRM BEFORE OPERATION

● This component has not been designed to operate as an independent unit by itself, and must be used in conjunction with a 5.1ch surround decoder. For information about Clarion center units and DVD changers that can be connected to this component, see the section “SYSTEM EXPANSION” on P17. Alternately, consult your retail dealer or Clarion service center.

● When connecting this component (control unit), be sure to set the 5.1ch surround decoder’s [STAND-ALONE / SLAVE] switch to the [STAND-ALONE] position. Also be sure to con- nect the power cable.

● In order to demonstrate optimum audio performance, be sure to change the default settings of the adjust mode’s [SP-SEL], [FILTER], [SP-GAIN] and [DELAY] functions (see P9-13).

■

Using Analog Input Connections

• When connecting the RCA 2ch output of another component (center unit, etc.) to the analog INPUT connectors, the Dolby Pro Logic II function can be used to convert to 5.1ch output.

NOTES:

• When using the analog INPUT connectors, consult the section

“Adjusting the RCA INPUT sensitivity” on P13 and adjust the sensitivity properly to prevent audio distortion.

• Consult the section “Setting the Dolby digital functions” on

P11 and select the desired Dolby Pro Logic II mode.

Setting the Dolby digital functions (Dolby D)

The Dolby digital functions consist of the Dolby Pro Logic II on/off function and dynamic range compression switching.

●

Dolby Pro Logic II:

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology in which the updated digital matrix technology is applied and Dolby pro Logic is further improved. It realizes excellent 5.1 channel reproduction of Dolby surround source as well as stereo sound sources such as CDs, thereby causing a surround channel to be full-ranged (20 Hz to 20 kHz) and become stereo. Therefore, you can enjoy any stereo sources with dynamic sound of 5.1 channel.

Note:

• The Dolby Pro Logic II function sound effects are

only supported for stereo signals.

• This function is not available when center

and rear (surround) speaker were turned off in the section “Turning speakers on or off”.

●

Dynamic range compression function (D-RANGE):

This function compresses the dynamic range of Dolby digital to maintain low level sounds such as actor conversation and suppress loud sound volumes.

These functions are only available on Dolby digital DVD discs.

1. Press the [ADJUST] button to enter the ADJUST MODE.

2. Press the [ ] or [ ] [DISP] button to change to the [Dolby D ] display.

3. Press the [ENT] button to display the [D- RANGE].

5. Press the [ ] or [ ] [VOL] button to select the adjustment value.

• In [D-RANGE], settings are switched be-

tween [MAX], [STD] and [MIN].

• The initial value is [MAX].

• MAX: maximum dynamic range mode of

the original source

• STD: recommended mode for standard lis- tening

• MIN: the most compressed dynamic range mode that renders even low sounds easy to hear.

• This button is used to turn [Dolby PL II] mode [MUSIC], [MATRIX], [MOVIE], [VIR- TUAL] and [OFF].

• The initial setting is [OFF].

• MUSIC MODE: appropriate for CDs and

other stereo audio.

• MATRIX MODE: appropriate for AM/FM

radio audio sources.

• MOVIE MODE: appropriate for audio

sources such as movies.

• VIRTUAL MODE: appropriate for audio

sources such as movies.

Notes:

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is selected, the sound volume decreases due to the inherent response characteristics of the Dolby Pro Logic II system. As a result, the user should lower the sound volume before switching the Dolby Pro Logic II function [OFF].

• The Dolby Pro Logic II mode cannot be selected when center speaker and rear speakers have been set to [OFF] with the “Turnig speakers on or off (SP-SEL)” function.

6. Press the [ADJUST] button to return to the

original mode.

Selecting PANORAMA mode will extend the front sound field image to the rear. If surround effect does not seem to be presented sufficiently, select the setting position [ON].

• The initial setting is [OFF].

● DIMENSION (0 to 6):

Selecting DIMENSION mode will shift the sound field image to the front or the rear. If the balance of the sound field image is too much pulled towards the front or rear, the balance front/rear can be corrected.

The adjusting value 3 is the center position. The range of 3 to 0 shifts the balance front/ rear to the front. The range of 3 to 6 shifts the balance front/rear to the rear.

• The initial value is [3].

● CTR WIDTH (0 to 7):

Selecting CTR WIDTH mode will adjust the localization of the center channel between the center speaker and the front speaker L/ R.

Distributing the center channel sound to the right and left will increase the integrated sound field image, providing you with an natural spatial feeling of sound.

Setting to the value 0 will produce the center sound with the center speaker.

Setting to the value 7 will distribute the center sound to the front speaker L/R as the existing stereo sound does.

• The initial value is [3].

5. Press the [ ] or [ ] [VOL] button to adjust the value.

Precautions Regarding Wiring

[STAND-ALONE / SLAVE] switch

• Set the [STAND-ALONE / SLAVE] switch to the [STAND-ALONE] position.

• The factory default setting is the [SLAVE] position.

CAUTION:

When setting the position of the [STAND-ALONE / SLAVE] switch, first confirm that the 5.1ch surround

decoder’s CeNET cable or power connector are disconnected, then use a plastic stick to move the switch to the desired position. Also, in order to prevent damage to the switch or the possibility of shortcircuit accidents, do not use metal objects, or large screwdrivers to change the switch position.

Control Unit cord

• Insert the control unit cord firmly until it locks securely.

• Connect the L-type plug to the decoder. The unit will not operate if the plugs are connected in reverse.

Power cord

• Remove the power connector label, and with the connector facing in the position shown, insert the cable connector securely into the slot until it locks.

Note:

• The power cable must be connected.

Be sure to set switch to [STAND-ALONE] position.

5. FONCTIONNEMENT

Remarque: Veuillez lire ce chapitre en vous référant

Fonctionnement de base

PRÉCAUTION

Réglez bien le volume au minimum avant de mettre l’appareil hors tension. Un son puissant au moment de la mise sous tension risque d’abîmer les tympans et d’endommager l’appareil. Si vous mettez l’appareil hors tension avec le volume réglé à un niveau élevé et que vous remettez l’appareil sous tension, l’augmentation brusque du volume risque de vous abîmer les tympans et d’endommager l’appareil.

Mise sous/hors tension

Remarque:

• Faites attention si l’appareil fonctionne pendant longtemps sans que le moteur de la voiture ne tourne. Si vous déchargez la batterie, vous ne pourrez plus démarrer le moteur, et vous risquez de raccourcir la durée de vie de la batterie.
