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 muting the front speaker units, auto
TA and EQ cannot be carried out. (Refer to
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 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 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.
!
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.
!
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.
!
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 playing discs with MP3/WMA/AAC/
WAV 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/AAC/WAV 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/WMA/
AAC/WAV 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

Terms
HFP
HFP is short for Hands Free Profile. This profile
is used for hands-free phoning with the de-
vices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.
A2DP
A2DP is short for Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile. This profile allows the high quality
audio data of either stereo or monaural to be
transmitted via Bluetooth wireless technology.
HSP
HSP is short for Head Set Profile. This profile
is used for connecting headset and communi-
cation terminal via Bluetooth wireless technol-
ogy.
AAC
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.
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.
AVRCP
AVRCP is short for Audio/Video Remote Con-
trol Profile. This profile enables interoperability
between audio and video features of the Blue-
tooth device connected via Bluetooth wireless
technology.
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.
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.
Bluetooth
Level 1:
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.
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).
Level 2:
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:
GAP
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
GAP is short for Generic Access Profile. This is
a basic profile of Bluetooth wireless technol-
ogy.

Additional Information
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code
modulation
data, schedule data and so on between de-
vices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,
which is the signal recording system used for
music CDs and DVDs.
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.
m3u
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
SDP
MP3
SDP is short for Service Discovery Protocol.
This protocol is to search for available services
and service characteristics on other devices
featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.
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.
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.
MS ADPCM
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential
pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-
cording system used for the multimedia soft-
ware of Microsoft Corporation.
WAV
Multi-session
WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard
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.
audio file format for Windows®.
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
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
Windows Media and the Windows logo are tra-
demarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and/or other
countries.
Number of quantization bits
The number of quantization bits is one factor
in the overall sound quality; the higher the
“bit-depth”, the better the sound quality. How-
ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases
the amount of data and therefore storage
space required.
OPP
OPP is short for Object Push Profile. This pro-
file is used for transferring the phonebook
