Warning  
Do not modify this system for use other than that specified  
herein. Also, do not deviate from the installation procedures  
described herein; Eclipse will not be held liable for damages  
including, but not limited to serious injury, death or property  
damage resulting from installations that enable unintended  
operation.  
This equipment requires 12V DC and should only be installed in a  
vehicle with a 12V negative ground electrical system. Any other  
installation may cause a fire or other severe damage to the  
equipment and the vehicle.  
Never install this equipment where it will interfere with safe  
operation of the vehicle. Never block the drivers’ view. Do not  
install equipment where it may interfere with operation of the  
brakes, the steering or any safety equipment, including seat belts  
and air bags.  
Before drilling holes in a vehicle for installation, you must confirm  
the locations of pipes, tanks, electrical wiring, and other vehicle  
systems and components to ensure that there will be no  
interference or contact. In addition, you must also apply rust  
prevention and leak prevention measures at the drilling area.  
Otherwise, fire or electric shock could occur.  
When installing equipment do not remove or alter existing vehicle  
fasteners, including nuts, bolts, screws, clips, and fittings. Never  
detach, move or alter existing vehicle wiring, including electrical  
grounds and straps. Alteration of existing vehicle components  
may make vehicle unsafe to operate.  
Before installation, remove the negative (-) battery terminal to  
prevent shocks, electrical arcing, fires, and damage to vehicle  
wiring and the equipment you are installing.  
Secure wiring with tape or plastic ties so that wires do not  
interfere with vehicle operation, including brake pedal, gear

Warning  
To avoid equipment and vehicle damage, including fire, never  
supply power to installed equipment in a way which will overload  
the capacity of an existing vehicle circuit. Never leave a power  
supply wire or connection uninsulated. Always install supplied  
fuses, circuit breakers, and relays.  
Air bags are vital safety equipment. Never install equipment in a  
way which will alter air bag wiring or interfere with air bag  
deployment. Air bags must function properly in the event of an  
accident.  
When installation is complete, test all vehicle electrical systems  
for proper operation, including lights, horn, brake lights, and  
emergency flashers.  
For your protection, never use a power drill without safety  
glasses or goggles. Debris or broken drill bits may cause severe  
eye injuries, including blindness.  
Use electrical tape to insulate the ends of all wires, even if not  
used. Proper insulation prevents arcs, shocks and fires.  
Some equipment uses batteries. Never install equipment where  
young children can get access to batteries. If a battery is  
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.  
When vehicle is moving, never take your eyes off the road to  
make adjustments to the equipment. You must pay attention to  
the road to avoid accidents, do not let the operation or adjustment  
of the equipment distract you from proper vehicle operation.  
The driver should not look at the screen while driving. Accidents  
may result if you are not paying attention to the forward direction.  
Do not put foreign objects in the loading slot of Memory Stick or  
disc. Fires or shocks may result.  
Do not disassemble or alter this equipment. Accidents, fires or  
shocks may result.  
Do not let water or foreign objects enter the internal parts of this  
equipment. Smoke, fires or shocks may result.

cards, into the disc slot. Be especially watchful of  
children’s mischief in this regard.  
Avoid severe mechanical shock.  
When the player is subjected to severe vibration while  
traveling over a rough surface, playback may be  
intermittent. When a situation like this occurs, resume  
playback after returning to a smoother road.  
About dew condensation.  
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass surface  
gets fogged, dew (water condensation) may also settle  
on the deck. When this occurs, disc playback may  
become intermittent or impossible. Dehumidify the air in  
the vehicle for a while before resuming playback.

About compact discs  
The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing  
touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped  
disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the  
following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:  
Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long;  
the disc may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases

Do not stick a piece of paper or tape. Do not write on or  
scratch either side of a disc.  
Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep  
cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid  
damage it.

About brand new CDs  
About CD accessories  
You may notice that some brand new  
discs are rough around the center  
hole or outside edge. Remove the  
rough edges with the side of a  
ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may  
prevent proper loading in the deck.  
Flakes from the rough edges may  
also stick to the recorded surface and  
interfere with playback.  
Do not use accessories  
(stabilizers, protective seals, laser  
lens cleaners, etc.) sold for  
"improving sound performance" or  
"protecting CDs." The changes in CD  
thickness or outside dimensions  
made by these accessories may  
cause problems in the player.  
Rough Edges  
Ballpoint  
pen  
Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-  
shape protector (or other accessory) to  
your discs. Those protectors are  
commercially available and said to  
protect disc and to improve sound  
quality (and antivibration effect), but  
they can do more harm than good in  
regular uses. The most common  
problems are disc insertion, disc  
ejections, and won't play problems due  
to the protector ring that came off in the  
disc mechanism.

ESN security operating procedure  
About ESN  
This deck is equipped with ESN (ECLIPSE Security Network). A pre-  
registered music CD (Key CD), four-digit security code, or a Memory Stick  
on which all unit functions will not operate, even by turning the ignition  
switch to the ACC or ON position or reconnecting the battery after turning  
the ignition switch off or disconnecting the battery during maintenance.  
ESN can be set or cancelled using any of the following methods:  
• Key CD security (See page 26)  
You can record a specific CD that you have as a "key CD" with the deck,  
and this CD can then be used to set and cancel the security settings.  
• Memory Stick security (See page 30)  
You can record a Memory Stick and a secret code (security code) with the  
deck, and this Memory Stick or secret code (security code) can then be  
matched with the deck to set and cancel the security settings.  
• ACC security (See page 38)  
This method can only be used when Memory Stick security has already  
been set. When ACC security is set, button operations are disabled when  
the ignition switch is turned to OFF and then back to ACC.

About MP3/WMA  
The making of MP3/WMA files by recording from sources such as broadcasts,  
records, recordings, videos and live performances without permission from the  
copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.  
What is MP3/WMA?  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio  
compression technology. By using MP3 a file can be compressed to  
one-tenth the size of the original.  
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) is format for audio compression  
technology. WMA files can be compressed to a size smaller than  
MP3 files.  
This deck has limitations on MP3/WMA file standards and recorded  
media and formats that can be used.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
Supported standards: MPEG-1 Audio Layer III  
Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
Supported bit rate: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR. (64~320kbps)  
* Does not support free format.  
Supported channel modes: stereo  
Playable WMA file standards  
Supported standards: WMA Ver. 7  
WMA Ver. 8  
WMA Ver. 9  
Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
Supported bit rate: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR (48~192 kbps).  
* Does not support lossless compression.  
* Does not support WMA files recorded at a  
frequency of 48kHz with a bit rate of 48kbps.

ID3/WMA tags  
MP3/WMA files have an "ID3/WMA Tag" that allows input of  
information so that data such as song title and artist can be saved.  
This deck supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1 and WMA tags.  
Media  
Media capable of playing MP3/WMA includes CD-R and CD-RW  
discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music  
discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high  
humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW  
may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on  
the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback.  
Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a  
vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R  
and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs  
are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player  
File names  
Only files with the MP3/WMA file extension ".mp3", ".wma" can be  
recognized as MP3/WMA and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with  
the ".mp3" file extension. Be sure to WMA files with the ".wma" file  
extension. The "MP" or "WMA" letters of the file extension will be  
recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.  
If the ".mp3", ".wma" file extension is attached to a file other than an  
MP3/WMA file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the deck as  
an MP3/WMA file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can  
damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3", ".wma"  
file extension to files that are not MP3/WMA files.  
Multi-sessions  
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW  
discs with annotated MP3/WMA files is possible. However, when  
"Track at once" has been written, close the session or process the  
warning message. Standardize the format of each session without  
changing the format.  
VI  
Playing MP3/WMA  
When a disc with recorded MP3/WMA files is inserted, the deck first checks  
all the files on the disc. No sound is output while the deck is checking the  
files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files  
other than MP3/WMA files and without unnecessary folders in order to  
speed up the checking of disc files by the deck.  
MP3/WMA playing time display  
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the  
writing condition of the MP3/WMA file.  
* It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast  
Up/Down is operated.  
Display order of MP3/WMA file/folder names  
Names of MP3/WMA folders and files within the same level are  
displayed in the following order.  
1. MP3/WMA folders displayed first, by ascending order of  
numbers, letters.  
2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

Recording on Memory Stick  
Using ATRAC3 audio compression technology, this deck compresses the  
music data played on the built-in CD player, radio, external CD changer  
and other external inputs (such as portable players), and records the data  
on the MG Memory Stick.  
CDs being played on the deck can be recorded to a memory stick as  
digital data. Music from the radio, CD changers, external inputs (such as  
portable players) is to a memory stick in analog. MP3/WMA files cannot  
be recorded.  
As this deck supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), MG  
Memory Stick recording from media (such as CD-R and CD-RW) digitally  
recorded from music CDs is not possible. Recording data of copy-proof  
music CDs is not possible either.  
Unrecorded contents, deleted music and vocal data caused by  
problems, malfunctions and defects of this deck will not be  
warranted.

FM reception characteristics  
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM  
stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems not encountered  
with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The  
following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on  
how to get satisfactory performance.  
FM reception differs from AM  
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies  
travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM's (similar to  
a ray of light): they won’t bend but they will reflect. Often, they will  
be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and  
indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The distance at which FM  
stations can be received satisfactorily is usually not nearly as far as  
that which AM stations can be received.  
AM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
FM Radio Waves

VIII  
Fading out  
In weak signal or "fringe" reception areas, FM stations may fade out  
completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak signal areas,  
such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels, among tall buildings,  
etc., you may encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A  
TUNER PROBLEM. In this case, you can only wait until you are in a  
better reception area, tune to a stronger station, or reduce the treble  
level.

How to operate the tuner  
Reception area of FM broadcasts  
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use  
of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle,  
the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions  
encountered while driving, including the types and heights of  
broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc.  
For best reception with manual antenna, extend the antenna mast  
as far as possible.  
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High  
Effective Radiation Power 1kW  
FM Stereo Car Radio 12.4 miles  
FM Monaural Car Radio 31 miles  
Home FM Stereo Receiver 62 miles  
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM  
station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.  
Multipath  
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another problem  
called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of buildings,  
mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct and reflected  
waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often  
occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS IS NOT A  
TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another area with a clearer  
signal path can remedy the situation.

About Sound Adjustment Mode  
This deck is equipped with two different sound adjustment modes: normal  
mode and advance mode.  
In normal mode, the acoustic characteristics inside the vehicle can be  
adjusted using comparatively simple settings. In addition, it corresponds to  
basic sound systems which comprise front speakers, rear speakers, and  
subwoofer.  
In advance mode, the sound quality characteristics can be adjusted item by  
item using more sophisticated settings than in normal mode. Refer to the  
table below and to the operations for each mode for details of each mode.  
The following adjustments can be made in normal mode and advance mode  
respectively.

Position selector  
When the position of the listener's seat is selected, the time taken  
for the sound to travel from the speakers to the listener can then be  
adjusted in order to obtain a more natural sound orientation. This  
unit allows up to four different positions to be set.  
SRS Circle Surround II (CS II)  
Surround sound is produced by combining The CS II (SRS Circle  
Surround II) mode enables 4-speaker surround sound. The system  
achieves surround sound by combining SRS TruBass, which uses  
the difference between two different frequencies to boost bass  
tones, and SRS Circle Surround, which uses 2ch (L/R) correlation  
to expand the sound.

Parametric equalizer  
A variety of materials are used inside a vehicle to manufacture the  
seats and windows, and because these materials absorb and reflect  
sound in different ways, the parametric equalizer lets you adjust the  
peaks and dips of the frequency characteristics inside the vehicle to  
compensate for this.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
An "equalizer" is a function that corrects these peaks and dips in  
order to flatten the frequency characteristics. However with a  
normal graphic equalizer, the median frequency and the Q  
(sharpness and band width) are fixed, so that when neighboring  
bands are corrected, there is a limit to the amount by which  
distortion in the peak and dip characteristics can be corrected.  
A "parametric equalizer" lets you adjust the median frequency, Q  
(sharpness and band width) and gain to variable levels, so that you  
can make fine adjustments to spot areas of the frequency band.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Time Alignment  
With vehicle audio systems, the installation position of the speakers  
and the position of the listener mean that the distances from the  
listener to the left and right speakers are almost always different.  
These differences in the distance from the listener to each speaker  
in turn means that the time taken for the sound to reach the listener  
is different for each speaker. The result of this is that the phases of  
each speaker (biases) become mismatched and the sound  
becomes unnatural, as though the sound stage is not wide enough.  
The "time alignment" function corrects the time taken for the sound  
waves to reach the listener in order to set the optimum phase for the  
listening position so that the sound becomes more expansive as  
though it is being listened to on a sound stage.  
The basic adjustment method involves measuring the actual  
distances to each speaker and calculating the differences in  
distance relative to the most distant speaker in order to derive the  
delay time for the sound from each speaker.  
When this deck is in advance mode, a simplified time alignment  
function is available. You can use this function to adjust only four  
parameters (position selector, vehicle type, tweeter settings and  
rear speaker position settings), and so you can make basic time  
alignment settings without measuring the actual distances to each  
speaker.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
Crossover  
The frequency band that is stored by audio media such as CDs is a  
fairly wide range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and it is difficult for a single  
speaker to be able to play back all frequencies in such a wide range.  
Because of this, several speakers can be used, with different  
frequency bands (such as treble, medium and bass) allotted to each  
speaker so that wide frequency ranges can be played back.  
The "Crossover" function is used to allot the frequency ranges that  
are to be played back by each speaker in accordance with the  
installed speaker units and the layout of the speakers, in order to  
obtain the maximum level of performance from the speakers and to  
provide the most stable frequency characteristics.  
The crossover function includes a high-pass filter (HPF) for playing  
back treble sounds, and a low-pass filter (LPF) for playing back  
bass sounds. In addition, the HPF and LPF are used in combination  
in order to play back sounds in the medium range.

fc*: Cutoff frequency  
For example, when adjusting the HPF, frequencies that are lower  
than the specified frequency are progressively dampened, rather  
than simply not being played back at all. The "slope" adjustment  
function is the function that is used to adjust these dampening  
characteristics.  
The slope characteristics of a filter are such that with larger slope  
values (for example 12 dB/oct), the slope becomes steeper, and so  
the amount of sound mixing in with neighboring bands becomes  
less so that only the target band is played back. However, it also  
causes the merging of sound between speakers to become poorer  
and can result in greater distortion.  
The crossover function is a filter that allocates specified frequency  
bands.  
A high-pass filter (HPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are  
lower than the specified frequency (bass range) and allows higher  
frequencies (treble range) to pass through.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are  
higher than the specified frequency (treble range) and allows  
lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through.  
The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one  
octave higher or one octave lower are dampened.  
The larger the slope value, the greater the slope. In addition,  
when "PASS" is selected, the slope is eliminated (sound does not  
pass through the filters), so that the crossover function has no  
effect.  
This deck corresponds to basic speaker systems which comprise  
front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer. In such cases, the  
crossover can be used to apply the HPF to the front and rear  
speakers and the LPF to the sub-woofer so that the sound from all  
speakers merges properly.

Multi-harmonizer  
When original sounds are converted to MP3/WMA and Memory  
Stick (ATRAC3) format, frequency ranges that are not normally  
audible to the human ear are compressed. The multi-harmonizer  
can be used to play back these compressed sounds at as close to  
their original form as possible so that clear and powerful sound can  
be enjoyed.

Non-fader phase  
The sounds that are output from woofers include sounds that are in  
the same frequency ranges that are output from the front and rear  
speakers, and under the various conditions that can occur inside  
vehicle compartments, some of these sounds may cancel each  
other out. This phenomenon can be eliminated by changing the  
phase of the woofer.  
The phase of the woofer can be set to normal timing (in which the  
output timing between the front and rear speakers and the woofer is  
the same) or reverse timing (in which the output timing between the  
front and rear speakers and the woofer is different), depending on  
the vehicle compartment conditions.  
Non-Fader output  
Depending on your external amplifier, non-fader output may be  
stereo or mono.

How to operate the tuner with an optional  
HD Radio tuner connected (U.S.A. only)  
About HD Radio  
If the optional HD Radio (High Definition Radio) tuner unit is connected,  
terrestrial digital broadcasts can be received. When terrestrial digital  
broadcasts are received, FM reception has the same quality as a CD, and  
AM reception has the same quality as conventional FM sound. Depending  
on the reception status, HD Radio can also receive analog broadcasts,  
which means reception is still possible in regions with no digital coverage.

radio signals’ strength. Other factors affecting reception include  
interference from natural obstacles, sign posts, etc.
