The F.I.E. (Front Image Enhancer) function is a simple method of enhancing front imaging by cutting mid- and high-range frequency output from the rear speakers, limiting their output to low-range frequencies. You can select the frequency you want to cut.

Precaution

When the F.I.E. function is deactivated, the rear speakers output sound of all frequencies, not just bass sounds. Reduce the volume before disengaging F.I.E. to prevent a sudden increase in volume.

1 Press AUDIO to select FIE. Press AUDIO until FIE appears in the display.

# When the rear output setting is R-SP :S/W, you cannnot select F.I.E. function.

2 Press a to turn F.I.E. on.

# To turn F.I.E. off, press b.

3 Press c or d to select a desired frequency.

Each press of c or d selects frequency in the following order: 100160250 (Hz)

Notes

! After turning the F.I.E. function on, use the bal-

ance adjustment (refer to page 30) and adjust front and rear speaker volume levels until they are balanced.

! Turn the F.I.E. function off when using a 2-

speaker system.

MP3, WMA and WAV files

! MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and

refers to an audio compression technology standard.

! 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.

! This unit plays back WMA files encoded by

Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8, 9 and 10.

! WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

audio file format for Windows

! This unit may not operate correctly depend-

ing on the application used to encode WMA files.

! Depending on the version of Windows

Media Player used to encode WMA files, album names and other text information may not be correctly displayed.

! This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/

WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back.

! It is possible to play back multi-session

compatible recorded discs.

! MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible

with packet write data transfer.

! The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a file name, including the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64, from the first character.

! The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a folder name is 64.

Page 42

Appendix

Additional Information

! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV

files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CDEXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.

! The folder selection sequence for playback

and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order.

! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge

into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/ WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/ CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD.

Important

! When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add

the corresponding filename extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav).

! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/ WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.

MP3 additional information

! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.

1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title), artist (track artist) and comments. Ver. 2.x of ID3 Tag is given priority when both Ver. 1.x and Ver. 2.x exist.

! The emphasis function is valid only when

MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32,

44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.)

! There is no m3u playlist compatibility. ! There is no compatibility with the MP3i

(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.

! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-

comes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

Terms

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.

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).

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.

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.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for the multimedia software of Microsoft Corporation.

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.

Number of quantization bits

The number of quantization bits is one factor in the overall sound quality; the higher the bit-depth, the better the sound quality. However, increasing the bit-depth also increases the amount of data and therefore storage space required.

Page 45

Additional Information

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.

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.

WAV

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard audio file format for Windows

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.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

MANUEL D’INSTALLATION

Page 50

Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.

• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this unit.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products such as power amps. If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire.

• Speakers connected to this unit must be highpower with minimum rating of 50 W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

• When this product’s source is switched ON, a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

• When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

• To avoid a short-circuit, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Insulate the unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of a short-circuit if the leads are not insulated.

• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connections of the same colors correctly.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

• Cords for this product and those for other products may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.

Installation

Note:

• Before making a final installation of the unit, temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the connections are correct and the system works properly.

• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot — for instance, near a heater outlet.

• If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. (Fig. 4)
