INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning:

If you need to operate the receiver while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

using a ball-point pen or a similar tool. This will reset the built-in microcomputer.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape— like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

Your preset adjustments—such as preset channels or sound adjustments—will also be erased.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

Notice:

The display window built in this receiver has been produced with high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not malfunction.

Important!

How to read this manual:

To make the explanations as simple and easy-to-understand as possible, we have

ENGLISH

adapted the following methods:

• Some related tips and notes are explained later in the sections “More

about This Receiver” (see page 45), but not in the same section explaining the operations. If you want to know more

about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the function, go to the section and you will find the answers.

Main Features

• Button operations are explained only with the illustrations as follows:

Press briefly.

Press repeatedly.

Hold

Press and hold until your desired response begins.

Press either one.

Compression Compensative Converter—CCC

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24-bit quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals). This processing can be applied to the analog sources as well as the digital sources.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modes

The preset DSP modes can create a more acoustic sound field inside your car compartment, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

BBE Digital

Digital* is a new digital processing

BBE method to restore the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. BBE Digital adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

Color Graphic Display

The color display (256 × 64 pixels) built in this receiver can reproduce 256 colors.

Image Converter Color

With Image Converter Color included in the supplied CD-ROM, you can create your own images and animations, and can display them on the color graphic display.

About MP3 and WMA discs

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.” “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

• When an MP3 or a WMA folder includes an image <jcl> file edited by Image Converter Color—supplied in the CDROM, you can show the image on the display while the tracks in the folder are played back. (See pages 33 and 46 for details.)
