Operating precautions

Notes on operation

● For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.

COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO TEXT COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO Recordable COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO ReWritable

• We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown to the left.
• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this player. Be sure to use discs that have been properly processed. Depending on the editing equipment used, some discs may not play properly.

Hand inserting a coin into a device with a black X symbol (no text or labels)

- Do not insert anything other than a CD and a Memory Stick into the head unit.

Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or credit 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.

● Cleaning the disc slot.
The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.
● With the front panel open, many functions will not operate, therefore, the front panel will need to be closed during operation.

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 and kept away from high temperature and humidity.

● Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

About brand new CDs

- 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.

Flakes Recorded surface

About CD accessories

- 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.

Abstract geometric diagram with intersecting planes and central circular pattern (no text or symbols)

- 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.

Abstract geometric diagram with intersecting X and Y axes and concentric circles (no text or symbols)

About borrowed CDs

- Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get stuck inside or damage the deck.

How to remove CDs

- When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot. Pressing downward in the process may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

OKAY NO GOOD

About irregularly-shaped CDs

● Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.

- Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping gently from the center to the edge.

XXXX XXXX

- Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CD's finish.

About Memory Sticks

• Do not store Memory Sticks in places that are subject to static electricity and electrical interference, otherwise the data they contain may become corrupted.
• In order to protect the player, the player's functions will be stopped automatically if a problem occurs. If the player cannot be operated even after following the instructions that appear on the screen, the unit is malfunctioning, and you should ask the place of purchase for further advice.
• If using a Memory Stick Duo, you will need to use it with a Memory Stick Duo adapter.
• Only Memory Sticks with a capacity of up to 128 MB can be used in the unit.
  ● Memory Stick PRO types of Memory Stick cannot be used.

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.

SVC (Source Volume Control) Mode

You can set different volume levels for each audio mode. The volume for the initial FM mode (default value: 40) is used as a reference for storing the differences in volume that have been set for each audio mode. When SVC is set, the volume level can change as shown in the example settings in the table below.

Setting examples:

Audio mode FM AM CD				Memory Stick
Default value (Volume level)	Reference (40)	0 (40)	0 (40)	0 (40)
SVC setting (Volume level)	Reference (40)	SVC setting value +15 (55)	SVC setting value -10 (30)	SVC setting value +5 (45)
When volume level in FM mode is adjusted from 40 to 45	45	55 → 60	30 → 35	45 → 50
When volume level in CD mode is adjusted from 35 to 60	45 → 70	60 → 80*	60	50 → 75
When volume level in AM mode is adjusted from 80 to 20	70 → 5	20	60 → 0*	75 → 10
When volume level in Memory Stick mode is adjusted from 10 to 35	5 → 30	20 → 45	0 → 20	35

*: The volume levels can be set to a maximum of 80 and a minimum of 0. If you try to go past the maximum or minimum volume level, the level will not change. For the CD changer, SVC adjusts the volume using the setting value for the CD player.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player

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 Media™ 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.

Format of discs

The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Control items for this standard are as follows:

● Maximum directory layers: 8 layers
● Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 32 (including "." and 3 letter file extension)
- Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A\~Z, 0\~9, _ (underscore)
● Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 999

[Configuration example for CD supporting MP3/WMA]

graph TD
    A["Root directory (F1)"] --> B["F2"]
    B --> C["Folder 2"]
    C --> D["001.mp3"]
    C --> E["002.mp3"]

    K --> M["001.mp3"]
    K --> N["002.mp3"]
    B --> O["F255"]
    O --> P["Folder 255"]

Number of files/folders possible on a single disc is 999.

Files aside from MP3/WMA files (Example: 004.txt) also count as single files.

● Total number of folders possible on a single disc: 255
● Maximum folders this deck can recognize: 256*

*: A root directory is counted as one folder.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode

About Sound Adjustment Mode

This deck is equipped with two different sound adjustment modes: normal mode and pro 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 pro mode, the sound quality characteristics can be adjusted item by item using more sophisticated settings than in normal mode. In addition to the 4 speaker system, the adjustments can be made to suit 3-way speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be set to Hi (treble range) Mid (medium range) or Low (bass range). 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 pro mode respectively.

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.

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.

[Parametric equalizer characteristics]

1 Median frequency can be varied.

2 Gain can be varied.

3 Q (sharpness/band width) can be varied.

In the deck's normal mode, 7-bands can be adjusted with a parametric equalizer. In the pro mode, 5 bands in the high frequency range and 5 bands in the mid to low-frequency ranges can be adjusted with a parametric equalizer, when using 3-way speakers. When using a four-speaker system, 5 bands for the front and 5 bands for the rear can be adjusted separately.

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.

    E --> F["Arrow Up Right"]
    E --> G["Arrow Down Left"]
    E --> H["Arrow Up Right"]
    E --> I["Arrow Down Left"]

When this deck is in normal 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. In addition, in pro mode you can adjust the time delays and levels for each individual speaker based on the actual speaker layout.

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 to 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 mid range.

IX

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.

● 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.

When this deck is in normal mode, it 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.

In addition to the 4 speaker system, in pro mode, the adjustments can be made to suit speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be switched between Hi, Mid or Low output and the speakers can be combined according to each range (treble range: tweeter, mid range: mid, bass range: woofer) to provide 3-way playback. In this case, the crossover function can be used to adjust the playback ranges so that the HPF is applied to the treble-range speakers, the HPF and LPF is applied to the Mid-range speakers, and the LPF is applied to the bass-range speakers so that the sound from all speakers merges properly.

Bass range (woofers) Mid range (Front and rear speakers) 20Hz fc(LPF/HPF) 63-200Hz 20kHz

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.

Speaker layout

The parametric equalizer, time alignment, and crossover setting can be adjusted using this deck, or through the Eclipse web site. (Settings can be stored on CD-R or Memory Stick.)

● Automatic parametric equalizer correction

This can be used to automatically correct distortion in frequency characteristics (peaks and dips) based on the results of measuring the frequency characteristics inside the vehicle.

Automatic parametric equalizer correction is carried out in the following steps.

● Time alignment and crossover adjustment

Other adjustments besides adjustment of this deck can be carried out using the ECLIPSE web site. The procedure for doing this is displayed on the screen, and adjustment is comparatively easy using this method. Access the ECLIPSE website and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. After doing this, download the adjusted data for the CD-R or Memory Stick and load it into the deck. (Refer to "Importing Sound Data" on page 146 for details on reading the adjustment data.)

URL: http://www.e-iserv.jp

● E-iSERV Custom mode (Pro Mode only)

Using custom modes, E-iSERV sound effect customizations allow you to make adjustments even more precise than those available with the deck alone. Download data adjusted using the custom mode and copy it to a Memory Stick. Next, the adjusted values can be read in the deck's custom mode.

Identical frequencies within the front channel (bands F1 to F5) cannot be adjusted.

There are 10 Rear & Front-Frequency locations (5 + 5) available for the parametric equalizer. The Parametric Equalizer is divided into two channels Front & Rear.

Any frequency assigned is highlighted in White, and is unavailable for use elsewhere.

Bands selected are grayed out in the diagram to show how they are in use and otherwise unavailable for reuse.

Bands in black are unused (available) and can be assigned to within their respective bands (Rear or Front parametric locations).

Example:

If you want the Front channel F1 location to have a parametric frequency of 3.15 kHz.

Because this frequency is in use by F2 you must first assign F2 a new frequency, this will release the band for use in the Front Group F1 at 3.15 kHz.

Eclipse has by default assigned arbitrary frequencies for each of the 5-Bands (Hi/Mid for 10 parametric bands total).

Identical frequencies within the Hi group (bands H1 to H5) cannot be adjusted.

Release a frequency from its location, before it can be reassigned (available again for use in another band).

Example: If you want the Hi-Group H1 location to have a parametric frequency of 3.15kHz.

Because this frequency is in use by H2 you must first assign H2 a new frequency, this will release the band for use in the Hi-Group H1 at 3.15kHz.

How to use the remote control

Precautions in use of the remote control

• Be careful when handling the remote control, especially because it is small and light. Dropping or striking it hard may damage it, wear out the battery or cause a malfunction.
• Keep the remote control free of moisture, dust and water. Do not subject it to shock.
• Do not place the remote control unit where it will get hot, such as on the dashboard or near a heater vent. Allowing the remote control unit to overheat may warp its case or cause other problems.
• Do not operate the remote control unit while driving because doing so could cause an accident.
• When using the remote control, point it toward at the remote control light receptor.
  ● The light receptor may not operate correctly if it is exposed to bright light such as direct sunlight.
• Be sure to press the [PWR] button on the main unit for more than two seconds to shut it down before leaving the car, or the car battery may be run down. When the main unit is shut down, the remote control will not work.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit whenever it is not to be used for a long time.

Cleaning the remote control

• Use a dry cloth to keep the unit clean. If the remote control unit gets extremely dirty, clean it with a cloth moistened with diluted liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or thinner; these compounds may damage the finish.
• In no event should benzine or thinner be used. These substances will damage the case or finish.

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.
