Adjusting the time alignment
By adjusting the distance between each
speaker and a selected listening position, you
can insert delay times into the speaker output
to obtain a correct sound image and overall
level balance. Although this is automatically
achieved when you set the listening position,
the time alignment feature provides a fine ad-
justment.

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time
alignment and auto-
equalizing)
Only when the multi-channel processor (e.g.,
DEQ-P7650) is connected to this unit, you can
operate this function.
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.

Press m or n to select the speaker
to be adjusted.
Each press of m or n selects the speaker
in the following order:

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.

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

Adjusting 3-band parametric
equalizer
For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer
curves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen-
ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a
center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q
factor for each band.
Store the microphone carefully in the glove
compartment or any other safe place. If the
microphone is subjected to direct sunlight for
an extended period, high temperatures may
cause distortion, color change or mal-
function.

A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre-
ated for each source.
A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com-
mon to all sources.
Using the equalizer
The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization
to match car interior acoustic characteristics
as desired.
The center speaker largely determines the
sound image and getting the balance right
isnꢀt 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.
Recalling equalizer curves

you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list

becomes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
This unit does not play back WMA files re-
corded as VBR (variable bit rate).
This unit doesnꢀt support the following for-
mats.

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.

Terms
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tistꢀs 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.
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.
Bit rate
ISO9660 format
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.
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.
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
ꢁ_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.
Level 2:
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:
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.
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
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).

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

Additional Information
MP3
Optical digital output/input
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.
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.
MPEG
Packet write
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.
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.
Parental lock
Multi-angle
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.
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.
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.
Playbackcontrol (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-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.
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 unitꢀs region
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.
Multi-subtitle
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re-
corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as
desired.

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 Corpora-
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
