Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology in which updated digital matrix technology is applied and Dolby Pro Logic is further improved. Dolby Pro Logic II 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. The Music Mode or Matrix Mode

can be selected according to a source to be reproduced.

FREQUENCY (center frequency selection)

Selects the frequency to be used as the center of the frequency band to be compensated from the range 20Hz to 20kHz. (1/3 octave steps, 31 points)

GAIN (gain adjustment)

Adjusts the gain (output level) within the range

-12dB to +12dB. (1dB steps, 25 points)

Q (Q curve selection)

Sets one of 1, 3, 5, 7, or 20 as the sharpness of the Q curve.

● Compensation

There is no need to compensate frequency characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or valleys) when you have measured the frequency characteristics with a measuring device. However, sometimes the frequency characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this happens, the frequency characteristics must be compensated. Create a frequency curve having characteristics that are opposite to the center frequency of parts where the characteristics rise and fall to cancel out these peaks and values, and make the frequency characteristics as flat as possible.

Making the frequency characteristics as flat as possible is called “compensation.”

On this unit, frequency characteristics can be compensated by P.EQ (Parametric Equalizer).

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and is classified as audio layer 3 of the MPEG standard.

This audio compression method has gained ground into PC users and Become a standard format.

This MP3 features original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size while keeping high sound quality intact. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output. (The WMA indicator blinks)

• Windows Media™, and the Windows® logo are trademarks, or stored trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

● To disable DRM (Digital Rights

Management):

• When using Windows Media Player 8, click on

TOOLS ➜ OPTIONS ➜ COPY MUSIC tab, then under COPY SETTINGS, unclick the check box for PROTECT CONTENT. Then, reconstruct files.

• When using Windows Media Player 9, click on

TOOLS ➜ OPTIONS ➜ MUSIC record tab, then under COPY SETTINGS, unclick the check box for PROTECT CONTENT. Then,

reconstruct files. Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.

Precautions when creating an MP3/WMA disc

● Usable sampling rates and bit rates:

1. MP3: Sampling rate: 11.025 kHz to 48 kHz Bit rate: 8 kbps to 320 kbps / VBR

2. WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps to 192 kbps

● File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.WMA” to an MP3 or WMA file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension, the file cannot be played.

2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play. The indication “--: --” appears in the playing time display if you attempt to play files without MP3/WMA data.

● Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software format. Normal play may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title in the case of MP3/ WMA play but the title must be within 128 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals (including an extension).

3. Do not give a name to a file inside a folder having the same name.

● Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels is not allowed.

● Number of files or folders

1. Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder. Up to 500 files can be played.

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC.)

3. Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.
