Operating precautions

• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.

• We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown to the left.

• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this player. Be sure to use discs that have been properly processed. Depending on the editing equipment used, some discs may not play properly.

• Do not insert anything other than a CD into the disc slot. Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or credit cards, into the disc slot. Be especially watchful of children’s mischief in this regard.

• Avoid severe mechanical shock. When the player is subjected to severe vibration while traveling over a rough surface, playback may be intermittent. When a situation like this occurs, resume playback after returning to a smoother road.

• About dew condensation. In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass surface gets fogged, dew (water condensation) may also settle on the deck. When this occurs, disc playback may become intermittent or impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a while before resuming playback.

• Cleaning the disc slot. The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

Notes on operation

Operating precautions

• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:

• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long; the disc may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away from high temperature and humidity.

• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor write on or scratch either side of a disc.

• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid damaging it.

• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

About compact discs

Operating precautions

About CD accessories

• Do not use accessories (stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens cleaners, etc.) sold for “improving sound performance” or “protecting CDs.” The changes in CD thickness or outside dimensions made by these accessories may cause problems in the player.

About brand new CDs

• You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

Rough Edges

Ballpoint pen

Flakes

Recorded surface

Rough Edges

• Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are commercially available and said to protect disc and to improve sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems are Insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring that came off in the disc mechanism.

Operating precautions

About borrowed CDs

• Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get stuck inside or damage the deck.

How to remove CDs

• When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot. Pressing downward in the process may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

OKAY

NO GOOD

About irregularly-shaped CDs

• Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.

• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CD’s finish.

How to operate the MP3 player

The making of MP3 files by recording from sources such as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using MP3, a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original. This deck has limitations on MP3 file standards and recorded media and formats that can be used.

• Supported standards: MPEG-1 Audio Layer III MPEG-2 Audio Layer III

• Supported sampling frequencies: 22.05, 44.1 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128 (kbps)

* Does not support free format.

• Supported channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, monaural

MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song title and artist can be saved. This deck supports ID3v.1.0 and ID3v.1.1 tags.

About MP3

ATTENTION

How to operate the MP3 player

Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM and CD-R discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

Media

Format of discs

The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Control items for this standard are as follows:

• Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 15

• Allowable characters for folder names/file names:

A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)

• Number of files possible on a single disc: 65535*

• Number of folders possible on a single disc: 300*

• Number of files possible in a single folder: 300 *

: Files aside from MP3 files (other than ".mp3" file extension) are also

counted as single files.

: A root directory is counted as one folder.

[Configuration example for CD supporting MP3]

Number of files possible on a single disc is

65535. Files aside from MP3 files (Example: 004.txt) also count as single files.

How to operate the MP3 player

Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognized as MP3 and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.

Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R disc with annotated MP3 files is possible. However, when "Track at once" has been written, close the session or process the warning message. Standardize the format of each session without changing the format.

When a disc with recorded MP3 files is inserted, the deck first checks all the files on the disc. Checking of the files will be completed within 10 seconds of disc insertion, and the first MP3 file will begin playing. If the disc check is not completed within 10 seconds, the player will go into standby mode. No sound is output while the deck is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files other than MP3 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the deck.

Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.

1. MP3 folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the deck as an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3" file extension to files that are not MP3 files.

FM reception characteristics

A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM’s (similar to a ray of light): they won’t bend but they will reflect. Often, they will be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The distance at which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can be received.

In weak signal or “fringe” reception areas, FM stations may fade out completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels, among tall buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. In this case, you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune to a stronger station, or reduce the treble level.

In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory performance.

How to operate the tuner

A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions encountered while driving, including the types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.

Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.

The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another problem called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the situation.

Parametric equalizer

This unit is equipped with two different sound adjustment modes: normal mode and pro mode. In normal mode, the acoustic characteristics inside the vehicle can be adjusted using comparatively simple settings. In addition, it corresponds to basic sound systems which comprise front speakers, rear speakers and an added sub-woofer if necessary. In pro mode, the sound quality characteristics can be adjusted item by item using more sophisticated settings than in normal mode. In addition, the adjustments can be made to suit 3-way speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be set to Hi (treble range) Mid (medium range) or Low (bass range). Refer to the table below and to the operations for each mode for details of each mode.

*1:In normal mode, the parametric equalizer is adjusted during EQ

mode.

Only when E-COM is connected.

Adjusted during audio control mode (see page 24).

The following adjustments can be made in normal mode and pro mode respectively.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

A variety of materials are used inside a vehicle to manufacture the seats and windows, and because these materials absorb and reflect sound in different ways, the parametric equalizer lets you adjust the peaks and dips of the frequency characteristics inside the vehicle to compensate for this.

An "equalizer" is a function that corrects these peaks and dips in order to flatten the frequency characteristics. However with a normal graphic equalizer, the median frequency and the Q (sharpness and band width) are fixed, so that when neighboring bands are corrected, there is a limit to the amount by which distortion in the peak and dip characteristics can be corrected. A "parametric equalizer" lets you adjust the median frequency, Q (sharpness and band width) and gain to variable levels, so that you can make fine adjustments to spot areas of the frequency band.

The graphic equalizer lets you select from six preset equalizer modes in accordance with the genre and instruments of the music being played, and also lets you make fine adjustments within each mode.

GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

When this unit is in normal mode, a single parametric equalizer function is available in addition to the 13-band graphic equalizer, so that points that cannot be adjusted using the graphic equalizer can be corrected using the single-band parametric equalizer. In addition, in pro mode, the parametric equalizer can be used to adjust five bands in the treble to medium range, and five bands in the medium to bass range.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

With vehicle audio systems, the installation position of the speakers and the position of the listener mean that the distances from the listener to the left and right speakers are almost always different. These differences in the distance from the listener to each speaker in turn means that the time taken for the sound to reach the listener is different for each speaker. The result of this is that the phases of each speaker (biases) become mismatched and the sound becomes unnatural, as though the sound stage is not wide enough. The "time alignment" function corrects the time taken for the sound waves to reach the listener in order to set the optimum phase for the listening position so that the sound becomes more expansive as though it is being listened to on a sound stage. The basic adjustment method involves measuring the actual distances to each speaker and calculating the differences in distance relative to the most distant speaker in order to derive the delay time for the sound from each speaker.

When this unit is in normal mode, a simplified time alignment function is available. You can use this function to adjust only four parameters (position selector, vehicle type, tweeter settings and rear speaker position settings), and so you can make basic time alignment settings without measuring the actual distances to each speaker. In addition, in pro mode you can adjust the time delays and levels for each individual speaker based on the actual speaker layout.

TIME ALIGNMENT

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

For example, when adjusting the HPF, frequencies that are lower than the specified frequency are progressively dampened, rather than simply not being played back at all. The "slope" adjustment function is the function that is used to adjust these dampening characteristics. The slope characteristics of a filter are such that with larger slope values (for example 12 dB/oct), the slope becomes steeper, and so the amount of sound mixing in with neighboring bands becomes less so that only the target band is played back. However, it also causes the merging of sound between speakers to become poorer and can result in greater distortion.

fc1(LPF) fc2(HPF) fc3(LPF)

fc*: Cutoff frequency

fc4(HPF)

The frequency band that is stored by audio media such as CDs is a fairly wide range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and it is difficult for a single speaker to be able to play back all frequencies in such a wide range. Because of this, several speakers can be used, with different frequency bands (such as treble, medium and bass) allotted to each speaker so that wide frequency ranges can be played back. The "Crossover" function is used to allot the frequency ranges that are to be played back by each speaker in accordance with the installed speaker units and the layout of the speakers, in order to obtain the maximum level of performance from the speakers and to provide the most stable frequency characteristics. The crossover function includes a high-pass filter (HPF) for playing back treble sounds, and a low-pass filter (LPF) for playing back bass sounds. In addition, the HPF and LPF are used in combination in order to play back sounds in the medium range.

CROSSOVER

Treble range

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

• The crossover function is a filter that allocates specified frequency bands.

• A high-pass filter (HPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are lower than the specified frequency (bass range) and allows higher frequencies (treble range) to pass through.

• A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are higher than the specified frequency (treble range) and allows lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through.

• The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one octave higher or one octave lower are dampened. The larger the slope value, the greater is the slope. In addition, when "PASS" is selected, the slope is eliminated (sound does not pass through the filters), so that the crossover function has no effect.

When this unit is in normal mode, it corresponds to basic speaker systems which comprise front speakers, rear speakers and an added sub-woofer if necessary. In such cases, the crossover can be used to apply the HPF to the front and rear speakers and the LPF to the sub-woofer so that the sound from all speakers merges properly. In addition, in pro mode, the adjustments can be made to suit speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be switched between Hi, Mid or Low output and the speakers can be combined according to each range (treble range: tweeter, medium range: Mid, bass range: woofer) to provide 3-way playback. In this case, the crossover function can be used to adjust the playback ranges so that the HPF is applied to the treble-range speakers, the HPF and LPF is applied to the medium-range speakers, and the LPF is applied to the bass-range speakers so that the sound from all speakers merges properly.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

When original sounds are converted to MP3 format, frequency ranges that are not normally audible to the human ear are compressed. The MP3 harmonizer can be used to play back these compressed sounds at as close to their original form as possible so that clear and powerful sound can be enjoyed.

MP3 HARMONIZER

The sounds that are output from woofers include sounds that are in the same frequency ranges that are output from the front and rear speakers, and under the various conditions that can occur inside vehicle compartments, some of these sounds may cancel each other out. This phenomenon can be eliminated by changing the phase of the woofer. The phase of the woofer can be set to normal timing (in which the output timing between the front and rear speakers and the woofer is the same) or reverse timing (in which the output timing between the front and rear speakers and the woofer is different), depending on the vehicle compartment conditions.
