Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. No w it’ s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and e xcitement your equipment of fers. This manuf acturer and the Electronic Industries Association’ s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe le v el. On e that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly , without af fecting your sensitiv e hearing. Sound can be decei ving.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe le vel BEFORE your hearing adapts. T o establish a safe level: • Start your v olume control at a lo w setting. • Slo wly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly , and without distortion. Once y ou ha ve established a comf ortable sound lev el: • Set the dial and lea v e it there. T aking a minute to do this now will help to pre vent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. W e W ant Y ou Listening F or A Lifetime Used wisely , your ne w sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’ s Consumer Electronics Group r ecommend you a v oid prolonged ex p osure to excessi v e noise.

Auto T A and EQ (auto-time alignment and auto- equalizing) The auto -time alignment automatically adjusts 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 cur ve based on that information. WARNING T o prevent accidents, never carr y out auto T A and EQ while driving. When this function measures the car interior acoustic characteristics to create an auto -equalizer cur ve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be output from the speakers. CAUTION ! Carr ying out auto T A and EQ under the follow- ing conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check the conditions thoroughly be- fore carr ying out auto T A and EQ.  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 batter y power . Be sure to place the microphone in the specified loca- tion. Before operating the auto T A and EQ function ! Carr y out auto T A 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 carr ying out auto T A 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 carr y out auto T A 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 T A and EQ cannot be carried out. ! When this unit is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto T A 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 carr ying out auto T A 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 T A and EQ may differ f rom 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 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.

F or 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 . ! Files are compatible with the ID3 T ag V er . 1.0 and V er . 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and ar- tist (track artist). ! Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back, the emphasis function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.) ! There is no m3u playlist compatibility. ! There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO format. ! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be- comes better with increasing bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recom- mended to use only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps. Important ! When naming an MP3 file, add the corre- sponding filename extension (.mp3). Additional Information En 101 Appendix Additional Information
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex- tension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. T o prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use this exten- sion for files other than MP3 files. About folders and MP3 files ! An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3 files on it is shown below . Subfolders are shown as folders in the folder currently selected. 3 1 2 1 First level 2 Second level 3 Third level Notes ! This unit assigns folder numbers. The user can not assign folder numbers. ! It is not possible to check folders that do not include MP3 files. (These folders will be skipped without displaying the folder number .) ! MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played back. However , there is a delay in the start of playback on discs with numerous tiers. For this reason we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 tiers. ! It is possible to play back up to 253 items from folder on one disc. Using the display corr ectly CAUTION !

T erms 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 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. Bonus group An extra  group on some DVD audio discs that requires a key number to access. Browsable pictures A feature of some DVD audio discs in which you can browse still pictures recorded on the disc while the audio is played back. 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. 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. Dolby Pro Logic B Dolby Pro Logic B 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. DTS This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. Dynamic range control Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and sof test sounds: Dynamic range control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range are heard clearly even at low volume le- vels. Group A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc. Equivalent to a DVD video title. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in a 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 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. 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. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 charac ters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the  _ sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters.) Level 2: Additional Information En 105 Appendix Additional Information
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: 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 . m3u Playlists created using the  WINAMP  sof t- 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. 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. 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. 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 in one disc. Multi-subtitle Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re- corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as desired. Packed PCM A lossless compression system that enables more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD audio disc than would other wise be possible. 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. 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. Playback control (PBC) This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (V ersion 2.0). Using menu displays provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and Additional Information En 106 Appendix
software with search functions. Y ou 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 . This unit s region number is displayed on the bottom of this unit. Slideshow A feature of some DVD discs in which still pic- tures recorded on the disc cycle automatically while the audio is played back. 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 to flexibly adjust the bit rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to achieve compression priorities sound quality.
