Before You Start

To protect the LCD screen

! Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the

display when this unit is not being used. Extended exposure to direct sunlight can result in LCD screen malfunction due to the resulting high temperatures.

! 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 LCD comfortably

Due to its construction, the view angle of the LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) can be increased, however, by using BRIGHT to adjust the black density of the video. When using for the first time, adjust the black density in accordance with the viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for clear viewing. DIMMER can also be used to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to suit your personal preference.

Condition memory

This function memorizes audio language, subtitle language, angle number and aspect ratio made during disc playback for up to 30 discs. Without any special operations, the final setting details during playback of a disc are memorized. The next time a disc is played, the previous settings are automatically applied. ! With some discs, audio language and sub-

title language are automatically specified, in which case condition memory does not function.

! When the number of discs exceeds 30, set-

tings for the latest disc replace those for the least recent disc.

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

The auto-time alignment automatically adjusts 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 output 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.

Before operating the auto TA and EQ function

! Carry out auto TA and 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 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.
