Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion— and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distor-

tion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,

we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

On DVD-Video discs, the contents are divided into titles which are in turn divided into chapters. With video material, a single work (movie etc.) usually corresponds to a single title, with different scenes corresponding to separate chapters. With karaoke discs, one song corresponds to one title. However, some discs are not organized like this, so bear this in mind when using the Search function.

Video CD and CD

On CDs and Video CDs, the contents are divided into tracks. One track usually corresponds to one song. On some discs, tracks may also feature an index.

Term s

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.

Chapter

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

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This system is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters. To enjoy Dolby Digital entertainment, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a Dolby Digital compatible amp.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. Unlike Dolby Digital, DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. To enjoy discs featuring DTS audio recording, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a DTS compatible amp or decoder.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

This stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs. Compared to music CDs, which feature 44.1 kHz/16-bit recordings, DVDs feature 48 kHz/16-bit – 96 kHz/24-bit recordings. The result is sound quality even higher than that provided by music CDs.

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.

Page 65

Others

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-Subtitle

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

Optical Digital Output

By transmitting the audio signal as a digital signal, it’s possible to minimize any loss of sound quality. Optical digital output refers to the transmission (output) of a digital audio signal via optical cable. (The amp or other component on the reception side must have optical digital inputs.)

Parental Lock

Some DVDs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set this unit’s parental lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will not be possible, 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. This unit’s region number is displayed on the rear of the unit.

Title

DVDs have a 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.

Installation

Connecting the Units

Installation

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 begin- ning installation.

• Refer to each product’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 shortcircuiting 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 fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the connector.

• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS or optical cable connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connectors 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.

• 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 Installation manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.

• 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.

• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the leads are trapped between this unit and the surrounding metalwork or fittings.

• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.

• Before drilling any mounting holes always check behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring or other important parts.

• If this unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does not break free while the car is moving, and cause injury or an accident.

• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.

• Do not mount this unit on the spare tire board or any other unstable place.

• Do not mount this unit anywhere that gets the sun and so becomes hot, like on the dashboard or the rear shelf.

• Mount this unit on a flat surface.

• Installations in other than the horizontal or ver-

tical positions indicated will prevent this product from performing correctly or could cause malfunction.
