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.

adjust the balance among all of the speak­ers except the center speaker, by playing 2­channel audio (a CD, for example). Then,
play 5.1-channel audio (Dolby Digital or
DTS) and adjust the center speaker output
to match the balance already created
among the other speakers.

Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre­ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and

EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)

on this page).
You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

1 Display the DSP function menu.

Refer to Introduction of menu operations on
page 46.

# You cannot use this function if auto TA and
EQ have not been carried out.

3 Touch d to turn the auto-equalizer on.

# To turn the auto-equalizer off, touch c.

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.

! 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 condition-

ing 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 sur-

rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-

phones 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 dif-

fer 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 50.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on
page 47.)

— 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 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.

! 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 47.)

— The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on
page 47.)

— 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.

WARNING

! To avoid the risk of accident and the potential

violation of applicable laws, no viewing of

front seat video should ever occur while the

vehicle is being driven. Also, rear displays

should not be in a location where they are visi-

bly distracting to the driver.
! 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. In-

stalling or servicing the product may expose

you to risk of electric shock or other hazards.

Refer all installation and servicing of your dis-

play unit to authorized Pioneer service person-

nel.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-

cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to re-

main exposed.
! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-

ment to connect the yellow cable of the dis-

play 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 in-

stall the unit in such a way that it will not ob-

struct driving.
! Make sure that cables will not interfere with

moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift

lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechan-

ism.
