Digital Signal Processor

(Function of AVH-P4450BT/AVH-P3450DVD)

Introduction of DSP adjustments

You can use this unit to control a DEQ-P6600/ DEQ-P7650 multi-channel processor (sold separately).

By carrying out the following settings/adjustments in the order shown, you can effortlessly create a finely-tuned sound field.

1 Setting the speaker setting 2 Using the position selector 3 Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-

equalizing)

4 Adjusting time alignment 5 Adjusting the speaker output levels using a

test tone

6 Selecting a cross-over frequency 7 Adjusting the speaker output levels 8 Adjusting the 3-band parametric equalizer

Notes

! You cannot use the audio functions when

playing discs recorded at a sampling frequency higher than 96 kHz. The equalizer curve setting, Position, Auto EQ and Auto TA will also be canceled.

! Sound is only emitted from front speakers

when playing discs recorded at a sampling frequency higher than 96 kHz.

! When selecting FM as the source, you cannot

switch to Source Level Adjuster.

! You can only switch to

Dynamic Range Control when you are playing DVD discs.

! You can only switch to Time Alignment when

either Front-L or Front-R is selected in Position.

! When the speaker setting for both the center

and rear speakers are set to OFF, you cannot switch to Dolby Pro Logic II.

! When the multi-channel processor (DEQ-

P6600/DEQ-P7650) is connected to this unit, you cannot use MUTE function.

Using the position selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to optimize the stereo image and place you right in the center of the sound field. With the position selector function, you can automatically adjust the speaker output levels and insert a delay time to match the number and position of the occupied seats. When used in conjunction with the SFC, this feature will make the sound image more natural and offer a panoramic sound that envelops you.

Using sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance. ! The acoustics of performance spaces differ

depending on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves can move and on how the created sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or reverberations. These factors are programmed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings.

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

Auto-time alignment automatically adjusts the time alignment according to the distance between the listening position and each speaker. The auto-equalizer automatically measures the car’s interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on that information.

WARNING

As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the car’s interior acoustic characteristics, never perform auto TA or auto EQ while driving.

CAUTION

! Thoroughly check the conditions before per-

forming auto TA and EQ as the speakers may be damaged if these functions are performed when: — The speakers are incorrectly connected.

(For example, when a rear speaker is connected as a subwoofer output.)

— A speaker is connected to a power amp de-

livering output higher than the speaker’s maximum input power capability.

Section

! If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable

position the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

Before operating the auto TA and EQ function

! Perform auto TA and EQ in a quiet place,

with both the car engine and air conditioning switched off. Also turn off any car phones or portable telephones in the car, or remove them from the car. Sounds other than the measurement tone (such as surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing) may prevent correct measurement of the car’s interior acoustic characteristics.

! Be sure to perform auto TA and EQ using

the optional microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the car’s interior acoustic characteristics.

! In order to perform auto TA and EQ, the

front speaker must be connected.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto TA and EQ may not be possible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before performing auto TA and EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.

! The time alignment value resulting from

auto TA and EQ has been calculated by a computer and is the optimum delay time that will give accurate results. Be sure to use the resulting value although it may differ from the actual distance when: — The reflected sound within the car is

strong and delays occur.

— The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-

nal amps delay the lower sounds.

! Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings

as follows:

— The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to Using fader/

balance adjustment on page 49.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on

page 46.)

— The front, center and rear speakers will

automatically be adjusted to a high

pass filter setting.

! Previous settings for auto TA and EQ will be

overwritten.

Performing auto TA and EQ

For details concerning operation, refer to the operation manual for the multi-channel processor.

1 Stop the car in a place that is quiet, close all the doors, windows and sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto EQ.

2 Fix the optional microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward.

The auto EQ may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto EQ.

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 EQ.

Auto EQ (auto-equalizing)

The auto-equalizer automatically measures the car’s interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on that information. ! To perform this function, dedicated micro-

phone (e.g. CD-MC20) is required.

WARNING

As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the car's interior acoustic characteristics, never perform auto TA or auto EQ while driving.

CAUTION

! Thoroughly check the conditions before per-

forming auto EQ as the speakers may be damaged if these functions are performed when: — The speakers are incorrectly connected.

(For example, when a rear speaker is con-

nected as a subwoofer output.)

— A speaker is connected to a power amp de-

livering output higher than the speaker’s

maximum input power capability.

! If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable

position the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

Before operating the auto EQ function

! Carry out auto 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 before carrying out auto EQ. Sounds other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct measurement of the car interior acoustic characteristics.

! Be sure to carry out auto EQ using the op-

tional microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of the car interior acoustic characteristics.

! In order to perform auto EQ, the front

speaker must be connected.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto EQ may not be possible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before performing auto EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.

! The distance has been calculated by com-

puter to be the optimum delay to give accurate results for the circumstances, so please continue to use this value. — The reflected sound within the car is

strong and delays occur.

— The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-

nal amps delay the lower sounds.

! Auto EQ changes the audio settings as fol-

lows: — The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to Using fader/ balance adjustment on page 46.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on page 46.)

— The front, center and rear speakers will

automatically be adjusted to a high pass filter setting.

! Previous settings for auto EQ will be over-

written.

Performing auto EQ

1 Stop the car in a place that is quiet, close all the doors, windows and sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto EQ.

2 Fix the optional microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward.

The auto EQ may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto EQ.

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 EQ.

! In some countries or states the viewing of

images on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed and this unit’s DVD features should not be used.

CAUTION

! PIONEER does not recommend that you in-

stall or service your display unit yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to risk of electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your display unit to authorized Pioneer service personnel.

! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-

cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.

! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-

ment to connect the yellow cable of the display unit to the vehicle battery. Engine vibration may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. Take extra care in securing the wire at this point.

! It is extremely dangerous to allow the micro-

phone lead to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.

! Make sure that cables will not interfere with

moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism.

! Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the pro-

tection circuit may fail to work properly.

WARNING

! Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and be-

tween 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.

! The black cable is ground. When installing

this unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure to connect the ground wire first. Make sure that the ground cable is properly connected to metal parts of the car body using a spade terminal sold commercially. The ground wire of the power amp and the one of this unit or any other device must be connected to the car separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke or malfunction.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-

tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.

! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-

function, be sure to follow the directions below. — Disconnect the negative terminal of the

battery before installation.

— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-

hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wiring.

— Place all cables away from moving parts,

such as the shift lever and seat rails.

— Place all cables away from hot places,

such as near the heater outlet.

— Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-

tery by passing it through the hole to the engine compartment.

— Cover any disconnected cable connectors

with insulating tape.

— Do not shorten any cables. — Never cut the insulation of the power cable

of this unit in order to share the power with other devices. The current capacity of the cable is limited.

— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed. — Never wire the negative speaker cable di-

rectly to ground.

— Never band together negative cables of

multiple speakers.

! When this unit is on, control signals are sent

through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass anten-

na, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

! Never connect the blue/white cable to the

power terminal of an external power amp. Also, never connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction.
