Correcting the subwoofers phase  
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.

Before operating the auto TA  
and EQ function  
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time  
alignment and auto-  
equalizing)  
The auto-time alignment automatically adjusts  
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.  
!
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.  
WARNING  
!
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.  
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 output from the speakers.  
!
!
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.  
CAUTION  
!
Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-  
ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be  
sure to check the conditions thoroughly be-  
fore carrying out auto TA and EQ.  
!
!
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 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  
speakers maximum input power capabil-  
ity.  
!
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 loca-  
tion.  
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.

AdditionalInformation  
!
This unit plays back files with the filename ex-  
tension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent  
noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten-  
sion for files other than MP3 files.  
!
!
It is not possible to check folders that do not  
include MP3 files. (These folders will be  
skipped without displaying the folder number.)  
MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be  
played back. However, there is a delay in the  
start of playback on discs with numerous  
tiers. For this reason we recommend creating  
discs with no more than 2 tiers.

ditioner when it is opened, make sure that  
air from the air conditioner is not blowing  
on it. Heat from the heater may break the  
LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler  
may cause moisture to form inside the dis-  
play 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.  
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 PIO-  
NEER Service Station.  
!
Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)  
may appear on the LCD screen. These are  
due to the characteristics of the LCD  
screen and do not indicate a problem with  
the display.

music mode is also available for 2-channel  
sources in addition to the movie mode.  
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.  
DTS  
This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system delivering multi-channel  
audio from up to 6 independent channels.  
Dynamic range control  
Bit rate  
Dolby Digital has a function for compressing  
the difference between the loudest and softest  
sounds: Dynamic range control. This control  
ensures sounds with an increased dynamic  
range are heard clearly even at low volume le-  
vels.  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
units (bits per second). 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.  
Group  
Bonus group  
An extragroup on some DVD audio discs  
that requires a key number to access.  
A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc.  
Equivalent to a DVD video title.  
ID3 tag  
Browsable pictures  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in a 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 to the number  
of characters, the information can be viewed  
when the track is played back.  
A feature of some DVD audio discs in which  
you can browse still pictures recorded on the  
disc while the audio is played back.  
Chapter  
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.  
ISO9660 format  
Dolby Digital  
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.  
Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio  
from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is  
the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound  
system used in theaters.  
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.)  
Dolby Pro Logic B  
Dolby Pro Logic B can create five full-band-  
width output channels from two-channel  
sources. This new technology enables a dis-  
crete 5-channel playback with 2 front chan-  
nels, 1 center channel, and 2 rear channels. A  
Level 2:  
97  
En  
 
Appendix  
AdditionalInformation  
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.  
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.  
Extended formats  
Joliet:  
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 in 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).  
Packed PCM  
A lossless compression system that enables  
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD audio  
disc than would otherwise be possible.  
MP3  
MP3 is short for MPEGAudio 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  
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.  
MPEG  
Parentallock  
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.  
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  
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-  
ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.  
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 this  
unit.  
Slideshow  
A feature of some DVD discs in which still pic-  
tures recorded on the disc cycle automatically  
while the audio is played back.  
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 to flexibly adjust the bit rate  
according to the needs of audio compression,  
it is possible to achieve compression priorities  
sound quality.
