About WMA

For viewing LCD comfortably

Due to its construction, the view angle of the

LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (verti-

cal and horizontal) can be increased, however,

by using BRIGHT to adjust the black density of

the video. When using for the first time, adjust

the black density in accordance with the view-

ing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for

clear viewing. DIMMER can also be used to

adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself

to suit your personal preference.

The Windows Media" logo printed on the box

indicates that this unit can play back WMA

data.

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and

refers to an audio compression technology

that is developed by Microsoft Corporation.

CAUTION

Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the follow-

ꢄ It will be adjusted automatically to high

pass filter setting for front, center and

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

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 ampꢀs input

level to the standard position.

Fix the supplied microphone in the cen-

ter of the headrest of the driverꢀs seat, fa-

cing forward, using the belt (sold

separately).

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.

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.

ꢄ When the reflected sound within a vehi-

cle is strong and delays occur.

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)).

This unit conforms to the track skip func-

tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks

containing the track skip information are

skipped automatically (in case of audio

data (CD-DA)).

This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA

files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Disc recordings compatible with level 1

and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo

and Joliet file system can be played back.

It is possible to play back multi-session

compatible recorded discs.

MP3/WMA files are not compatible with

packet write data transfer.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a file name, including

the extension (.mp3 or .wma), is 64, from

the first character.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a folder name is 64.

In case of files recorded according to the

Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-

ters can be displayed.

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.

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.

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.

MP3 and WMA files

MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3 and

refers to an audio compression technology

standard.

WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio

and refers to an audio compression tech-

nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-

poration. WMA data can be encoded by

using Windows Media Player version 7 or

later.

With some applications used to encode

WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-

rectly.

Important

When naming an MP3 or a WMA file, add the

corresponding filename extension (.mp3 or

.wma).

This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.mp3 or.wma) as an MP3 or a WMA

file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not

use these extensions for files other than MP3

or WMA files.

With some applications used to encode

WMA files, album names and other text in-

formation may not be correctly displayed.

Terms

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.

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.

Bit rate

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.

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

ꢁ_ꢂ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters.)

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.

Level2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark ꢁ.ꢂ and a file ex-

tension). Each folder contains less than 8

hierarchies.

Extended formats

Joliet:

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

Dolby Digital

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.

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.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is

a surround system delivering multi-channel

audio from up to 6 independent channels.

m3u

Playlists created using the ꢁWINAMPꢂ soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

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-

tistꢀs name, the album title, the music genre,

MP3

MP3 is short for MPEGAudio Layer 3. It is an

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

input is designed to transmit and receive digi-

tal signals optically.

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.

Parentallock

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 unitꢀs 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.

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.

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.

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 Corpora-

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using
