Audio Adjustments

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

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.

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 be-

fore carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds

other than the measurement tone (sur-

rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-

phones 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 muting the front speaker units, auto

TA and EQ cannot be carried out. (Refer to

page 75.)

! 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 circum-

stances, so please continue to use this

value.

— When the reflected sound within a vehi-

cle is strong and delays occur.

<CRB2179-A/N>80

Page 81

Audio Adjustments

— 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 72.)

— The graphic equalizer curve switches to

Flat. (Refer to page 76.)

— When a subwoofer is connected to this

unit, it will be adjusted automatically to both subwoofer output and high pass filter setting for 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

CAUTION

Never use the microphone for hands-free phoning to operate the auto TA and EQ. Using the microphone unfit for the auto TA and EQ may damage the speaker. Be sure to connect the AUTO TA&EQ microphone into the microphone input jack.

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.

! Use only CDs that have either of the two

Compact Disc Digital Audio marks as shown below.

! Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or

warping before playing. CDs that have

cracks, scratches or are warped may not

play properly. Do not use such discs.

! Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed)

surface when handling the disc.

! Store discs in their cases when not in use. ! Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do

not expose the discs to high temperatures.

! Do not attach labels, write on or apply che-

micals to the surface of the discs.

! To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft

cloth outward from the center.

! If the heater is used in cold weather, moist-

ure may form on components inside the

CD player. Condensation may cause the CD

player to malfunction. If you think that con-

densation is a problem turn off the CD

player for an hour or so to allow it to dry

out and wipe any damp discs with a soft

cloth to remove the moisture.

! Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.

! Use only normal, round CDs. If you insert ir-

regular, non-round, shaped CDs they may jam in the CD player or not play properly.

CD-R/CD-RW discs

! When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, play-

back is possible only for discs which have

been finalized.

! It may not be possible to play back CD-R/

CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-

corder or a personal computer because of

disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on

the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc., on the

lens of this unit.

Additional Information

! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/AAC/

WAV files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/WMA/AAC/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/ AAC/WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CDRW/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/AAC/WAV file,

add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3, .wma, .m4a or .wav).

! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.mp3, .wma, m4a or .wav) as an MP3/ WMA/AAC/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV files.

A2DP

A2DP is short for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. This profile allows the high quality audio data of either stereo or monaural to be transmitted via Bluetooth wireless technology.

AAC

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

AVRCP

AVRCP is short for Audio/Video Remote Control Profile. This profile enables interoperability between audio and video features of the Bluetooth device connected via Bluetooth wireless technology.

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.

Bluetooth

GAP

GAP is short for Generic Access Profile. This is a basic profile of Bluetooth wireless technology.

HFP

HFP is short for Hands Free Profile. This profile is used for hands-free phoning with the devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.

HSP

HSP is short for Head Set Profile. This profile is used for connecting headset and communication terminal via Bluetooth wireless technology.

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

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.

data, schedule data and so on between devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.

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.

SDP

SDP is short for Service Discovery Protocol. This protocol is to search for available services and service characteristics on other devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.

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.
