Using the sound field control

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

1 Press EQ and hold to switch to SFC function.

# To switch to equalizer function, press EQ and hold again.

2 Press EQ to select the desired SFC mode. MUSICAL (musical)—DRAMA (drama)— ACTION (action)—JAZZ (jazz)—HALL (hall)— CLUB (club)—OFF (off)

Note

If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., MUSICAL, DRAMA or ACTION), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., JAZZ, HALL or CLUB), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II off.

Using the position selector

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

The auto-time alignment is automatically adjusted for the distance between each speaker and the listening position. The auto-equalizer automatically measures the car interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates the auto-equalizer curve based on that information.

WARNING

To prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA and EQ while driving. When this function measures the car interior acoustic characteristics to create an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.

CAUTION

! Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-

ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check the conditions thoroughly before carrying out auto TA and EQ. — When speakers are incorrectly connected.

(e.g., When a rear speaker is connected to a subwoofer output.)

— When a speaker is connected to a power

amp delivering 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 a drain on battery power. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

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 TA and 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 TA and EQ using

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

! When front speaker is not connected, auto

TA and EQ cannot be carried out.

! 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 76.)

— The equalizer curve switches to FLAT.

(Refer to page 81.)

— 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, fa- cing 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.

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 TA and EQ.

# Press SRC to turn the source on if this unit is turned off.

9 Get out of the car and close the door within 10 seconds when the 10-second count-down starts.

The measurement tone (noise) is outputted from the speakers, and auto TA and EQ begins.

# When all speakers are connected, auto TA and EQ is completed in about nine minutes.

# To stop auto TA and EQ, touch STOP. # To cancel auto TA and EQ on the way, touch

BACK or ESC.

10 When auto TA and EQ is completed, Complete is displayed.

When correct measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics is not possible, an

error message is displayed. (Refer to Under- standing auto TA and EQ error messages on page 89.)

11 Touch ESC to cancel the auto TA and EQ mode.

12 Store the microphone carefully in the glove compartment.

Store the microphone carefully in the glove compartment or any other safe place. If the microphone is subjected to direct sunlight for an extended period, high temperatures may cause distortion, color change or malfunction.

Using the display correctly

CAUTION

! If liquid or foreign matter should get inside

this unit, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station. Do not use the unit in this condition because doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or other failure.

! If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell,

or any other abnormal signs from the display, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station. Using this unit in this condition may result in permanent damage to the system.

<CRB2972-A/N>94

Additional Information

Appendix

! Do not disassemble or modify this unit, as

there are high-voltage components inside which may cause electric shock. Be sure to consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station for internal inspection, adjustments, or repairs.

Handling the display

! When the display is subjected to direct sun-

light for a long period of time, it will become very hot resulting in possible damage to the LCD screen. When not using this unit, close the display and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.

! The display should be used within the tem-

perature ranges shown below. Storage temperature range: -4 °F to +176 °F At temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range, the display may not operate normally.

! The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-

crease its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not press strongly on it as this may damage it.

! Do not place anything on the display when

it is opened. Also, do not attempt to carry out angle adjustment, or open/close the display by hand. Applying strong force to the display may damage it.

! Do not push the LCD screen forcefully as

this may scratch it.

! Be careful not to place anything between

the display and the main body when the display is opening or closing. If an object gets between the display and main body, the display may stop working.

! Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose

articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the display and the main body and cause serious injury.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

! 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.

Keeping the display in good condition

! When removing dust from the screen or

cleaning the display, first turn the system power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

! 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.)

Terms

AAC

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.

Aspect ratio

This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere.

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps (bits per second) units. The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound.

Chapter

DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVD video discs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with chapter search.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files can also include advanced media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks. Many DivX media files are available for download online, and you can create your own using your personal content and easy-to-use tools from DivX.com.

DivX Certified

DivX Certified products are officially tested by the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is

the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II can create five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front channels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. A music mode is also available for 2-channel sources in addition to the movie mode.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels.

Dynamic range control

Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and softest sounds: Dynamic range control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range are heard clearly even at low volume levels.

ID3 tag

This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the “_” sign, with a file-extension of three characters).

CRB2972-A/N>98

Appendix

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “ .” and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies.

Extended formats

Joliet: File names can have up to 64 characters. Romeo: File names can have up to 128 characters.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. Generally, DVDs are recorded with higher sampling frequency and bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide higher sound quality.

m3u

Playlists created using the “ WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using this system.

Multi-angle

With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on a single disc, letting you choose as desired.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc.

Multi-subtitle

Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a single DVD, letting you choose as desired.

Optical digital output/input

By transmitting and receiving audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance of sonic quality deteriorating in the course of transmission is minimized. An optical digital output/ input is designed to transmit and receive digital signals optically.

Packet write

This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs.

Parental lock

Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set the unit’s parental lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will be disabled, or these scenes will be skipped.

Playback control (PBC)

This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and software with search functions. You can also enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution still images.

Region number

DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indicating the area in which they were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same region number as the DVD player.

Title

DVD video discs have high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple movies on a single disc. If, for example, one disc contains three separate movies, they are divided into title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of title search and other functions.

VBR

VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to achieve compressionpriority sound quality.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later. Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
