If trying to boost the bass output of the sub-  
woofer doesnt do much or rather makes you  
feel that the bass gets more murky, this may  
indicate that the subwoofers output and bass  
content you hear over other speakers cancel  
each other out. To remove this problem, try  
changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.

Using the equalizer  
Using the sound field control  
The SFC function creates the sensation of a  
live performance.  
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization  
to match car interior acoustic characteristics  
as desired.  
!
One of the greatest advantages to hear  
music in live is the original acoustic sound  
that is echoed or reflected against the  
stage surroundings. The SFC circuitry en-  
ables to reproduce the live performing  
sound in car environment by programming  
the direct sound, early reflections, and late  
reflections effects and characterizing the  
sound from CD, DVD or other medium so it  
becomes closer to the live acoustic sound.  
Recalling equalizer curves  
There are seven stored equalizer curves which  
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list  
of the equalizer curves:

It will be adjusted automatically to high

rear speaker.  
If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-  
vious setting of this already exists, the set-  
ting will be replaced.  
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.  
Carrying out auto TA and EQ  
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.  
!
!
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 amps 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.  
2
Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-  
ter of the headrest of the drivers seat, fa-  
cing 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.  
!
!
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.

Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.  
If the cars air conditioner or heater is turned  
on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air  
conditioner or heater may prevent correct auto  
TA and EQ.

When playing discs with MP3/WMA 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 and CD-DA.

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 per-

Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge  
into one another without a pause. When  
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA  
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.  
!
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.

force as this may scratch it.  
When wiping the screen, take care not to  
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or  
abrasive chemical cleaners.  
Be careful not to place anything between  
the display and the main body when the  
display is opening or closing. If an object  
gets between the display and main body,  
the display may stop working.  
Small fluorescent tube  
!
A small fluorescent tube is used inside the  
display to illuminate the LCD screen.  
The fluorescent tube should last for ap-  
proximately 10 000 hours, depending on  
operating conditions. (Using the display  
at low temperatures reduces the service  
life of the fluorescent tube.)  
When the fluorescent tube reaches the  
end of its useful life, the screen will be  
dark and the image will no longer be  
projected. If this happens, consult your  
dealer or the nearest authorized  
!
Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose  
articles of clothing which could possibly  
get caught between the display and the  
main body and cause serious injury.  
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen  
!
If the display is near the vent of an air con-  
ditioner when it is opened, make sure that  
air from the air conditioner is not blowing  
on it. Heat from the heater may damage  
the LCD screen, and cool air from the cool-  
er may cause moisture to form inside the  
display resulting in possible damage. Also,  
if the display is cooled down by the cooler,  
the screen may become dark, or the life  
span of the small fluorescent tube used in-  
side the display may be shortened.  
PIONEER Service Station.

Terms  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio  
from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is  
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.  
the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound  
system used in theaters.  
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.  
DTS  
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system delivering multi-channel  
audio from up to 6 independent channels.  
Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio con-  
nectivity technology that is developed as a  
cable replacement for mobile phones, hand-  
held PCs and other devices. Bluetooth oper-  
ates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits  
voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per  
second. Bluetooth was launched by a special  
interest group (SIG) that comprises of Ericsson  
Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM  
in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly  
2 000 companies worldwide.  
ID3 tag  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tists 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 num-  
ber of characters, the information can be  
viewed when the track is played back.  
Chapter  
ISO9660 format  
DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters  
which are numbered in the same way as the  
chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea-  
turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired  
scene with chapter search.  
This is the international standard for the for-  
mat 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 con-  
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English  
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the  
_sign, with a file-extension of three charac-  
ters).

Appendix  
Additional Information  
Level 2:  
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-  
ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.  
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-  
cluding the separation mark .and a file ex-  
tension). Each folder contains less than 8  
hierarchies.  
Extended formats  
Joliet:  
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)  
Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi-  
ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages  
can be recorded on a single disc, letting you  
choose as desired.  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
Multi-session  
Multi-session is a recording method that al-  
lows 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-ses-  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions on one disc.  
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. Generally, DVDs are re-  
corded with higher sampling frequency and  
bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide  
higher sound quality.  
Multi-subtitle  
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-  
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as  
desired.  
m3u  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
Optical digital output/input  
MP3  
By transmitting and receiving audio signals in  
a digital signal format, the chance of sonic  
quality deteriorating in the course of transmis-  
sion is minimized. An optical digital output/  
input is designed to transmit and receive digi-  
tal signals optically.  
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working  
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-  
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress  
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-  
ventional disc.  
Packet write  
MPEG  
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.  
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts  
Group, and is an international video image  
compression standard. Some DVDs feature di-  
gital audio compressed and recorded using  
this system.  
Parental lock  
Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-or-  
iented scenes feature parental lock which pre-  
vents children from viewing such scenes. With  
this kind of disc, if you set the units parental  
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for  
children will be disabled, or these scenes will  
be skipped.  
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

Additional Information  
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 pos-  
sible unless it features the same region num-  
ber as the DVD player. This units region  
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.  
Title  
DVD video discs have high data capacity, en-  
abling recording of multiple movies on a sin-  
gle 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 func-  
tions.  
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 compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows MediaAudio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-  
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using  
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.  
Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-  
demarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft
