Before operating the auto TA  
and EQ function  
Auto TA and EQ (auto-time  
alignment and auto-  
equalizing)  
The auto-time alignment is automatically ad-  
justed 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.  
!
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 outputted 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

Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-  
come impossible in case of direct exposure  
to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-  
rage conditions in the vehicle.  
Titles and other text information recorded  
on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-  
played by this unit (in the case of audio  
data (CD-DA)).  
If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,  
time to playback will be longer than when  
you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.  
Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW  
discs before using them.  
!
!
When playing discs with MP3 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 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 per-  
mits 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 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, regard-  
less of the length of the pause between  
tracks on the original audio CD.

Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.  
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of  
album (disc title), track (track title) and ar-  
tist (track artist).  
The emphasis function is valid only when  
MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen-  
cies 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.  
MP3 files  
!
MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3 and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
standard.  
!
This unit allows playback of MP3 files on  
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc re-  
cordings compatible with level 1 and level 2  
of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet  
file system can be played back.

Appendix  
Additional Information  
!
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.

The display should be used within the tem-  
perature ranges shown below.  
Storage temperature range: 4 to +176 °F  
At temperatures higher or lower than the  
operating temperature range the display  
may not operate normally.  
The LCD screen of this unit is exposed in  
order to increase its visibility within the ve-  
hicle. Please do not press strongly on it as  
this may damage it.  
Do not place anything on the display when  
it is opened. Also, do not attempt to carry  
out angle adjustment, or open/close the  
display by hand. Applying strong force to  
the display may damage it.  
!
!
The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
When using a portable phone, keep the an-  
tenna of the portable phone away from the  
display to prevent disruption of the video by  
the appearance of spots, colored stripes,  
etc.  
!
!
Keeping the display in good  
condition  
!
When removing dust from the screen or  
cleaning the display, first turn the system  
power off, then wipe with the supplied  
cloth.  
When wiping the screen, take care not to  
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or  
abrasive chemical cleaners.  
!
!
Do not push the LCD screen with much  
force as this may scratch it.  
!
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.)  
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.  
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.  
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  
PIONEER Service Station.  
!
!
At low temperatures, the LCD screen may  
be dark for a while after the power is turned  
on.

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 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.  
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.  
Level1:  
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 LogicII  
Dolby Pro Logic II 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

Additional Information  
Level2:  
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let-  
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:  
ting you choose your viewing angle as desired.  
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).  
Packed PCM  
MP3  
A lossless compression system that enables  
more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD audio  
disc than would otherwise be possible.  
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  
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

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.  
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 by flexibly adjusting the bit  
rate according to the needs of audio compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.
