! The acoustics of different performance en-

vironments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how 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. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with input level control, auto TA and EQ may not be possible if you lower power amp input level. Set the power amp’s input level to the standard position.

! When this unit is connected to a power

amp with an LPF, turn off the LPF on the power amp before carrying out auto TA and EQ. In addition, the cut-off frequency for built-in LPF of an active subwoofer should be set to the highest frequency.

! The time alignment value calculated by

auto TA and EQ may differ from the actual distance in the following circumstances. However, the distance has been calculated by computer to be the optimum delay to give accurate results for the circumstances, so please continue to use this value.

— When the reflected sound within a vehi-

cle is strong and delays occur.

— When delays occur for low sounds due

to the influence of the LPF on active subwoofers or external amps.

! Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings

as below: — The fader/balance settings return to the

center position. (Refer to page 77.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to page 83.)

— It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center and rear speaker.

! If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-

vious setting of this already exists, the setting will be replaced.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ

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

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

2 Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately).

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

! If the display is near the vent of an air con-

ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from the heater may damage the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the display may be shortened.

! Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)

may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the display.

! At low temperatures, the LCD screen may

be dark for a while after the power is turned on.

! The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is

exposed to direct sunlight.

! When using a portable phone, keep the an-

tenna of the portable phone away from the display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

For viewing the LCD comfortably

Due to its construction, the viewing angle of the screen size is limited. You can adjust it by changing either screen size or picture adjustment.

Changing the wide screen size

By changing the screen size from 4:3 to 16:9, you can adjust the screen so that the screen can fit to the video image you are playing. For details concerning operation, refer to Changing the wide screen mode on page 56.

! When wiping the screen, take care not to

scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

Small fluorescent tube

! A small fluorescent tube is used inside the

display to illuminate the LCD screen. — The fluorescent tube should last for ap-

proximately 10 000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

— When the fluorescent tube reaches the

end of its useful life, the screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.
