eration manual.

Bluetooth Audio

Basic Operations

If you connect a Bluetooth adapter (e.g. CD-

BTB200) to this unit, you can control Bluetooth

audio players via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Even though your audio player does not

contain a Bluetooth module, you can still

control it from this unit via Bluetooth wire-

less technology. To control your audio

player using this unit, connect a product

featuring Bluetooth wireless technology

(available on the market) to your audio

player and connect the Bluetooth adapter

(e.g. CD-BTB200) to this unit.

In some countries, CD-BTB200 is not sold

on the market.

Important

Depending on the Bluetooth audio player con-

nected to this unit, the operations available

with this unit are limited to the following two

levels:

Profile): Only playing back songs on your

audio player is possible.

— AVRCP profile (Audio/Video Remote Con-

trol Profile): Playing back, pausing, select-

ing songs, etc., are possible.

Since there are a number of Bluetooth audio

players available on the market, operations

with your Bluetooth audio player using this

unit vary extensively. Refer to the instruction

manual that came with your Bluetooth audio

The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance right

isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-

ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting

the balance right among the speakers ex-

cept for the center, and then reproducing a

5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-

justing the center speaker output to the

balance you have already got among the

other speakers.

Using the equalizer

The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization

to match the car’s interior acoustic character-

istics as desired.

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.

Touch b and then touch c or d to ad-

just the equalizer level.

Each time you touch c or d it increases or de-

creases the equalizer level. +12 to –12 is dis-

played as the level is increased or decreased.

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.

the other speakers in the same way.

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.

Note

You can select a center frequency for each band.

You can change the center frequency in 1/3-oc-

tave steps, but you cannot select frequencies that

have intervals shorter than 1 octave among the

center frequencies of the three bands.

— 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 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.

Using the auto-equalizer

The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre-

ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to Auto TA and

EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)

on this page).

You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.

Touch NEXT twice on the DSP function

menu.

Touch AUTO EQ.

You cannot use this function if auto TA and

EQ has not been carried out.

— It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center and

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.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ

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.

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.

Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-

ter of the headrest of the driver’s 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 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.

Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car’s 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 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.

Additional Information

the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound

system used in theaters.

Terms

AAC

AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and

refers to an audio compression technology

standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.

Dolby Pro Logic II

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

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.

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.

Dynamic range control

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.

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.

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-

tist’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 num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by

DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly com-

pressed video with high visual quality that

maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files

can also include advanced media features like

menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.

Many DivX media files are available for down-

load online, and you can create your own

using your personal content and easy-to-use

tools from DivX.com.

ISO9660 format

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.

DivX Certified

DivX Certified products are officially tested by

the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all

versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.

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 Digital

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio

from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is

<CRB2972-A/N>98

Appendix

Additional Information

Level 2:

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.

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-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-

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code

modulation

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.

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.

Optical digital output/input

m3u

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.

Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3

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

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 unit’s 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.

<CRB2972-A/N>99

Appendix

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.

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 Media™ Audio

and refers to an audio compression technol-

ogy that is developed by Microsoft

Corporation. 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
