Dear Customer:

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer 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 level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new 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 recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level	Example
30	Quiet library, soft whispers
40	Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50	Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60	Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70	Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80	Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90	Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100	Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120	Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140	Gunshot blast, jet plane
180	Rocket launching pad

About digital and analog source

This unit features two digital sources and six analog sources.

By connecting a Pioneer DVD player to this unit with IP-BUS cable, you can use it as the digital source.

Devices which are connected to this unit with speaker input connector or RCA input connector can be used as analog sources. For example, when Pioneer head unit with tuner and cassette player is connected to this unit, you can use Analog1 for tuner and Analog2 for cassette player as independent source.

Furthermore, audio function of DEQ-P8000 can be used independently for each analog source, if each analog source is used properly. The title displayed for digital sources and analog sources can be changed. This is useful

when you use such sources. To input the titles, refer to Title input on page 39.

Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

- The acoustics of different performance environments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or reverberations. Those factors are programmed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings.

- Press SFC to select the desired SFC mode.

Press SFC repeatedly to switch between the following mode:

Musical (musical)—Drama (drama)—Action (action)—Jazz (jazz)—Hall (hall)—Club (club)—OFF (off)

Note

If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., Musical, Drama or Action), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., Jazz, Hall or Club), we recommend turning Dolby Pro Logic II off.

Using the position selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to accurately position the stereo image, putting you right in the center of the sound field. The position selector function lets you automatically adjust the speaker output levels and inserts a delay time to match the number and position of occupied seats.

The auto-time alignment is automatically adjusted 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.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

- Carrying out auto TA and EQ under the following conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check the conditions thoroughly before carrying out auto TA 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 capability.

- 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 location.

Before operating the auto TA and EQ function

• 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 before carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones 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 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 carrying out auto TA and EQ. In addition, the cross-over frequency for built-in LPF of an active subwoofer should be set to the highest frequency.
• 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 circumstances, so please continue to use this value.

— When the reflected sound within a vehicle is strong and delays occur.

— When delays occur for low sounds due to the influence of the LPF on active subwoofers or external amps.

- Auto TA and EQ changes the audio settings as below:

— The fader/balance settings return to the center position. (Refer to page 24.)
— The graphic equalizer curve switches to FLAT. (Refer to the next page.)
— When a subwoofer is connected to this unit, it will be adjusted automatically to both subwoofer output and high pass filter setting for rear speaker.

- If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a previous setting of this already exists, the setting will be replaced.

Carrying out auto TA and EQ

1 Stop the car in a place that is as quiet as possible, close all doors, windows and the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto TA and EQ.

2 Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver's seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately).

The auto TA and EQ may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto TA and EQ.

■ When all speakers are connected, auto TA and EQ is completed in about six minutes.
■ To stop auto TA and EQ, press any keys.
■ To cancel auto TA and EQ part way through, press BAND.

10 When auto TA and EQ is completed, COMPLETE is displayed.

When correct measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics is not possible, an error message is displayed. (Refer to Understanding auto TA and EQ error messages on page 42.)

11 Press BAND to cancel the auto TA and EQ mode.

12 Store the microphone carefully in the glove compartment.

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 malfunction.

Using the equalizer

The equalizer lets you adjust the equalization to match car interior acoustic characteristics as desired.

Recalling equalizer curves

There are seven stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list of the equalizer curves:

Display	Equalizer curve
SUPER BASS	Super bass
POWERFUL	Powerful
NATURAL	Natural

Digital Signal Processor

Display	Equalizer curve
VOCAL	Vocal
FLAT	Flat
CUSTOM1	Custom 1
CUSTOM2	Custom 2

• CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 are adjusted equalizer curves.
• When FLAT is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between FLAT and a set equalizer curve.

- Press EQ to select the equalizer.

Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the following equalizers:

SUPER BASS—POWERFUL—NATURAL—VOCAL—FLAT—CUSTOM1—CUSTOM2

Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and center equalizer curves separately by selecting a center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band.

• A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be created for each source.
• A CUSTOM2 curve can be created common to all sources.
• The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn't easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers except for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and adjusting the center speaker output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.
