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 to 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, addition, it is  
necessary 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 shifter and steering. Position wires so that  
they will not be rubbed, abraded, or damaged by moving vehicle components,  
including power seats.  
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.  
2
Do not damage the camera cable. Any holes in the camera will provide a point of  
entry for moisture and water, which may cause malfunctions, fire or electric  
shock.  
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 never watch video or television while driving. Displays and  
screens should never be used or installed where they can be seen by and  
possibly distract the driver. It is against the law in many places to have video or  
television screens used where they can be seen by the driver. Driving and  
watching video or television is an extremely dangerous thing to do.  
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 look at the monitor screen while reversing the vehicle. The rear monitor  
is merely to assist in confirming the locations of obstacles, and therefore there is  
a limit to the visual range that it provides. Be sure to visually check for safety  
while reversing the vehicle. Otherwise, you may hit a person or object in the blind  
spot of the camera, resulting in a serious accident.  
Drive slowly while reversing the vehicle. The rear monitor uses a wide angle  
lens, and the actual distance is different than how it appears. If you reverse the  
vehicle at high speed, you may hit a person or object, resulting in a serious  
accident.  
Do not put foreign objects in the loading slot of Memory Stick Duo or disc. Fires  
or shocks may result.  
Do not disassemble or alter this equipment. Accidents, fires or shocks may  
result.  
Do not let water, dust or foreign objects enter the internal parts of this equipment.  
Smoke, fires or shocks may result.  
Pay attention to where the remote control is left. Traffic accidents or problems  
with driving may result if the remote control makes its way under the foot pedals  
etc. when the vehicle is stopped or when it goes around a corner.  
Do not use when it is broken (the screen is not lit or no sound comes out).  
Accidents, fires or shocks may result.  
3
Always replace fuses with fuses of identical capacity and characteristics. Never  
use a high capacity fuse than the original. Using the wrong type of fuse may  
cause a fire or severe damage.  
If foreign objects or water enters the equipment, smoke comes out, or there is a  
strange odor, stop using it immediately, and contact your dealer. Accidents, fires,  
or shocks may result if you continue to use it in these conditions.  
The driver should not change the Memory Stick Duo or CD while driving. As  
accidents may result if you are not paying attention to the forward direction, first  
stop the car at a safe location and then proceed.  
Plastic bags and wrappings may cause suffocation and death. Keep away from  
babies and children. Never put bag over your head or mouth.  
Wiring and installing this equipment requires expertise and experience.  
Professional installation is recommended. Consult with your dealer or a  
professional installer. Incorrect wiring may damage the equipment or interfere  
with safe vehicle operation.  
Use only the accessory parts as specified. Using other parts may cause damage  
to the equipment or cause parts to fall or fly off the equipment.  
Do not install the unit in places where it may get dew condensation on (around  
the air conditioning hose, etc.), come in contact with water, or in condition of high  
moisture, dust or oily smoke. If water, moisture, dust or oily smoke enters this  
unit, smoke, fires or malfunctions may result.  
Avoid installing in places where it cannot be fastened securely or where there are  
strong vibrations. Also, if you installed the unit with double-sided tape, first wipe  
away dirt and wax from the installation area. Otherwise, the unit may come loose  
due to vibration while driving, causing problems for driving and resulting in traffic  
accidents or injuries.  
Do not install in places with direct sunlight or where it will be hit directly by hot air  
from the heater. This may increase the temperature of the interior of this  
equipment, resulting in fires and malfunctions.  
Chose the installation location carefully so that the unit is not installed so that it  
can contact pedestrians and injure them.  
Do not install the television antenna in hard-to-install, unstable places, or on  
easily peeled surfaces that have been treated with fluorine resin or water  
repellent. Accidents may result if the antenna comes off while the can is  
traveling, falls or makes contact with pedestrians.  
4
When installing a TV antenna on the trunk or similar location, be careful of the tip  
of the TV antenna when opening and closing the trunk. Otherwise, it could cause  
injury to eyes, etc.  
Tighten the fasteners for the antenna securely so that it will not vibrate loose and  
injure a pedestrian or cause an accident.  
Occasionally check the camera installation screws, and tighten any that are  
loose. If a screw falls out, it could come into contact with a pedestrian or cause  
an accident.  
Be careful when driving into parking garages, under elevated structures, etc.  
when the television antenna extends above vehicle height. Accidents may result  
if the television antenna makes contact with the elevated structure, breaks off  
and falls or makes contact with pedestrians.  
Be careful of the tip of the antenna when opening and closing the trunk if the  
television antenna is installed on the trunk. Eye damage or other injuries may  
result.  
Do not block the fan, heat sink or vents of this unit. When fan, heat sink or vent is  
blocked, the interior overheats, and fires may result.

seat rails, and screw parts of the vehicle body. Accidents, fires and shocks may  
result from disconnection and electrical shorts.  
Carry out the wiring such that the cord does not make contact with metal parts.  
The cord maybe be damaged by contact with metal parts, resulting in fire and  
shocks.  
Avoid hot surfaces when wiring equipment. High temperatures may damage  
wiring, causing shorts, arcing and fires.  
Seal the antenna lead and other wires into the vehicle body to prevent rain and  
water from entering the vehicle. Water leaks may cause shorts and fires.  
5
When changing the installation location for this equipment, please consult the  
dealer where you bought it for safety reasons. Expertise is necessary for removal  
and installation.  
Keep volume to a reasonable level so that you can hear sounds from outside the  
vehicle, including warning sounds, voices, and sirens. Failure to do so may  
cause an accident.  
Be careful that hands and fingers are not pinched when adjusting the tilting angle  
or closing display. Injuries may result.  
Do not put your hands or fingers into the loading slot of Memory Stick Duo or  
disc. Injuries may result.  
Do not touch the heat dissipating part of the amp. Burns may result from the heat  
of this part.  
Avoid immersing the camera in water or passing it through automated (high  
pressure) car washing machines. Otherwise, water will get inside the camera or  
the camera may fall off, resulting in an accident.  
Do not recharge dry batteries. Dry batteries may rupture, resulting in injuries.  
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Also, do not mix old and new  
batteries. Injuries or pollution to the surroundings may result from battery  
ruptures and leakage.  
When inserting batteries into the equipment, be careful with the polarity (positive/  
negative), and insert them as indicated. If the battery polarities are incorrect,  
injuries and pollution to the surroundings may result from battery ruptures and  
leakage.  
Replace used batteries as soon as possible; they may leak and damage  
equipment. Battery leakage can burn your skin or your eyes. Wash hands after  
handling.  
If alkaline solution from alkaline dry batteries makes contact with your skin or  
clothes, flush with clean water. If any of the solution gets in your eyes, also flush  
clean with water and then seek medical attention.  
When disposing of lithium dry batteries, affix insulating tape to the positive and  
negative terminals, and after they are insulated, dispose of them according to the  
"Local municipal ordinances". Shorts, fires and ruptures may result from disposal  
when coming contact with other electrically conductive objects such as metal  
parts, etc.  
Do not short, disassemble or heat the batteries, or place them in fire or water.

Introduction  
Before using the deck  
Do not use discs with transparent or semi-transparent portions within the  
recording area, or see through discs, since they cause the equipment to operate  
improperly.  
Super Audio CDs cannot be played.  
CCCDs (Copy Control CD) do not conform to official CD  
standards and are not supported.  
CD-EXTRA discs can be played as audio CDs.  
Voice tracks on Mixed Mode CDs cannot be played. Only  
music tracks will be played.  
Video-CDs can be played. (Asia only)  
About handling discs  
Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of  
direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.  
Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording  
side or label side of a disc. Otherwise damage to the disc  
or equipment may occur.  
Do not use discs where cracks and/or large warps in the  
disc are present. Otherwise damage to the disc or  
equipment may occur.  
Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it.  
(Iridescent side of the CD) The disc may become dirty  
causing skipping type effect to occur.  
Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc  
and result in sound having a skipping type effect. Use a  
commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean the  
CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.  
32  
   
About new discs  
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 unit. Flakes from  
the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface,  
interfere with playback, and/or damage the disc or  
equipment.

Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental  
CD discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the  
residue of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those  
conditions can prevent the player from proper operation  
and cause damege to the disc or equipment.

About specially shaped discs  
X
Specially-shaped CDs cannot be played. Do not attempt  
to play them, even with an adapter, since they may  
damage the player.  
Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner,  
because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.

About disc 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.  
CD stabilizer ring  
Do NOT attach any ring-shape protector (or other  
accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are  
commercially available and said to protect discs and to  
improve sound quality (and anti vibration effect), but they  
can do more harm than good during regular use. The  
most common problems are insert/eject related problems  
and “No playback” problems due to the protector ring  
coming off in the disc mechanism.

About TV (U.S.A./CANADA/KOREA/TAIWAN only)  
When the loss of power is lost due to vehicle battery replacement, replacing  
fuses, etc., all preset channels will be erased.  
It may be difficult for the TV to maintain optimal reception due to variation in  
signal strength or interference from other objects. The main causes of  
interference are listed below.  
• Visual or audio static may result when in  
close proximity to overhead train wires,  
high-tension wires, traffic signals, neon  
signs, etc.  
• Depending on the signal, buildings and  
mountains may adversely affect reception.  
• Visual or audio static may result when in  
close proximity to radio broadcasting or  
ham radio antennas.  
• Signal reception will become extremely  
weak when driving through a tunnel.  
• Signal reception will become weak when  
traveling at a great distance from the  
broadcasting station.  
• In some areas, visual or audio static may  
result when in close proximity to TV or radio  
towers. This is due to the influence of  
electro-magnetic waves outside of the  
reception range.

About MP3/WMAs  
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.  
TM  
WMA (Windows Media  
Audio) is format for audio compression technology. WMA files can  
be compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files. This unit has limitations on MP3/WMA file  
standards and recorded media and formats that can be used.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
Supported standards  
: MPEG1 Audio Layer III  
Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
Supported bit rates  
: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR.  
* Does not support free format.  
* Bit rates vary for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.  
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 48 kHz with a bit  
rate of 48 kbps.  
Use 128 kbps or lower for the MP3 bit rate. If the bit rate exceeds 128 kbps, there  
may be a skipping type effect during MP3 playback.  
98  
       
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 unit supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1 and WMA tags.  
I
Media  
II  
Media capable of playing MP3 include CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
III  
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high  
temperature/high humidity environments and sections of the CD-R may become incapable of  
playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping.  
IV  
Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time.  
V
It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are  
vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player  
How to use the MP3/WMA player  
Format of discs  
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Also, be sure to record in  
“MODE 1”. Discs recorded in “MODE 2” are not supported.  
MP3 files recorded in formats other than those outlined above may result in files that cannot  
be played normally and file names and folder names that do not display properly.  
The following additional limitations apply:  
Maximum directory layers  
: 8 levels  
Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 31 (including “.” and the 3 letters of the  
file extension)  
Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A-Z, 0-9, _ (underscore), all ASCII  
characters  
Number of files/folders possible in a single folder : 512*  
*: Each file is counted as one file, even if it is not an MP3/WMA file (i.e. files with extensions  
other than “.MP3/.WMA”).  
100  
 
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 save 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.  
I
II  
Multi-sessions  
III  
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.  
IV  
V
Playing MP3  
VI  
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.  
VII  
VIII  
IX  
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.

Display order of MP3 file/folder names  
Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.  
1. MP3 files displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.  
2. Folders displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, 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 unit as an MP3/WMA file and played,  
resulting in noise and static that can damage the speakers. Do not attach the  
“.mp3”, “.wma” extension to any non-MP3/WMA files.  
101  
         
How to operate the MP3/WMA player  
How to use the MP3/WMA player  
Making and playing MP3/WMA files  
MP3/WMA files created by recording broadcasts, records, audio recordings, video recordings  
or live performances cannot be used for purposes other than personal entertainment without  
permission of the copyright holder as set forth in copyright law.  
Downloading MP3/WMA music from internet  
There are many kinds of sites that distribute MP3/WMA files on the Internet, such as “pay per  
download” online shopping sites, “try before you buy” listening sites and free download sites.  
Follow the rules for each site (such as paying fees) and download according to site  
instructions.  
Converting CD music to MP3/WMA files  
Prepare a computer with commercially available MP3/WMA encoding software (conversion  
software). (Some encoding programs available on the Internet do not require payment.) Music  
data files in MP3/WMA format can be made by inserting the music CD into the CD-ROM drive  
of the computer and following the procedures of the MP3/WMA encoding software to  
compress the songs of the music CD. A 12cm music CD (having a maximum of 74 minutes of  
recording/650MB of data) can be compressed to 65MB (about 1/10 of the original size).  
When writing to CD-R/RW  
MP3/WMA files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a  
computer. Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1  
or level 2 (not including extension format).  
Select CD-ROM (mode 1) for the disc format. Discs recorded with CD-ROM xA (mode 2)  
cannot be played on this deck.  
When playing back CD-R/RW  
Insert a CD-R/RW containing recorded MP3/WMA files. The system will automatically  
determine whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3/WMA files and begin  
playing the disc. A music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However,  
depending on the type of disc being used, playback may not be possible.  
A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended  
for obtaining stable audio quality at playback.  
Depending on the characteristics of a disc, the system may not be able to read  
CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
Because there are many types of MP3/WMA encoding software available,  
including commercial and freeware programs, audio quality may deteriorate,  
noise may be generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play,  
depending on the condition of the encoder and the file format.  
When files other than MP3/WMA files are recorded on a disc, the system may  
take some time to recognize the disc or it may not play.

How to operate the Area Shot function (U.S.A./CANADA only)  
Before using the Area Shot  
Map data  
When using the map data, be aware of actual road conditions and obey traffic rules.  
Copying, publishing, or using maps in electronic media without the expressed written  
consent is forbidden.  
GPS (Global Positioning System)  
Developed and operated in the United States, GPS (Global Positioning System), is a  
system that locates current position (longitude and latitude) using radio waves beamed  
to earth from 3 or 4 GPS satellites.  
GPS information may not be available under the following circumstances:  
When GPS satellite radio waves are interrupted by buildings, tunnels, elevated  
roads, etc.  
When radio waves are interrupted by objects on or near the GPS antenna.  
In some instances, wave transmission is interrupted by the U.S. tracking control  
center during maintenance or upgrades.  
When a digital cellular phone (1.5 GHz) is used near a GPS antenna.  
Be sure to obey all traffic rules and regulations while driving.  
Driving while strictly following guidance instructions may lead to traffic violations

How to use the remote control  
Before using remote control  
Be sure to properly store the remote control when not in use. An improperly  
stored remote control could shift during braking or cornering and interfere with  
driving operation (for example, by becoming lodged under the brake pedal) and  
cause an accident.  
I
Do not expose the remote control to extreme heat or direct sunlight, especially  
when it is in the vehicle. Doing so could cause a fire.  
II  
III  
Precautions when using the remote control  
Be careful when handling the remote control, especially because it is small and  
light. Dropping or striking it may damage it, wear out the battery or cause a  
malfunction.  
IV  
V
Keep the remote control free of moisture, dust and water. Do not subject it to  
shock.  
VI  
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.  
VII  
VIII  
IX  
Do not operate the remote control unit while driving because doing so could  
cause an accident.  
When using the remote control, point it directly at the remote control light  
receptor.

About parametric EQ  
VII  
VIII  
IX  
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.

[Frequency]

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.

About 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 from a sound stage.  
I
II  
III  
IV  
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.

Sound quality information  
About 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.  
-3dB  
Bass range  
Mid range  
Treble range  
20kHz  
20Hz  
fc1(LPF)  
fc2(HPF)  
fc3(LPF)  
fc4(HPF)  
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.

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.

How to operate the Back-eye Camera  
Back-eye Camera operations  
When the optional Back-eye Camera is installed, the rear view image can be displayed on the  
monitor screen.  
Do not rely too heavily on the Back-eye Camera.  
Please use the Back-eye Camera as a backup means to check for obstructions  
behind the vehicle.  
Raindrops or other natural phenomena may blur the camera's image.  
Do not backup your vehicle looking only at the monitor. Use the rear view mirror  
and both side mirrors to check for any obstructions behind or around your  
vehicle.  
Do not use the Back-eye Camera in the following situations:  
• On frozen, slippery or snowbound roads  
• With the trunk opened  
• When using tire chains or a spare tire  
• On a slope or any uneven road  
When the external air temperature is low, the image may darken or become faint.  
Images of moving objects in particular may be distorted, or they may not be  
visible on the screen, so the driver must directly confirm safety around the  
vehicle visually.  
222  
     
I
II  
III  
IV  
The actual position and distance of people or objects may vary depending on the  
features of the camera lens.  
V
Do not expose the camera to strong shocks such as hitting it or knocking it into  
other objects. The Back-eye Camera may not function properly if the position of  
the camera or its mounting angle is incorrect.  
VI  
VII  
VIII  
IX  
The camera is waterproof. Do not uninstall, dismantle or reconfigure the unit.  
Otherwise, the Back-eye Camera may not function properly.  
If the camera cover is rubbed strongly or a hard brush or abrasive is used to  
clean it, the camera may get scratched, adversely affecting the image quality.  
The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply organic solvent, body wax, oil  
remover, glass coating, etc. to it. If any of the above have been applied, wipe off  
immediately.  
X
Pouring hot water on the Back-eye Camera to deice it in cold weather can lead to  
a drastic change in temperature that may render normal operation impossible.  
The Back-eye Camera may not operate normally if the camera is damaged as a  
result of it being hit. Immediately bring it to your local retailer for an inspection.  
Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, a  
printed image phenomenon may result.

The range appearing on the monitor screen varies depending on the vehicle  
model.  
The instant the vehicle is put in reverse, part of the monitor will appear white then  
gradually stabilize.  
A white vertical band will appear when the camera is struck by light from the sun,  
headlights or any other strong light beam source (Smear effect).  
After having used the Back-eye Camera for a long time, white scratches and  
vertical lines may appear due to a rise in temperature, depending on the features  
of the CCD.  
The 50 Hz power source range fluorescent light may cause flickering in the  
screen. This is not a malfunction.  
Because the Back-eye Camera uses a special lens, the image and distance  
appearing on the screen differs from the actual image and distance.

Glossary  
The single division for a song on a music CD is  
called a track.  
Track  
This is a DVD video function that “Restricts  
playing of discs that support viewing restrictions,  
in accordance with the regulated levels of each  
country.” Restrictions differ by DVD video and  
may completely prevent playing of the video or  
may skip or insert alternate scenes for extreme  
scenes.  
Viewing Restriction  
This is the largest unit for divisions of video or  
songs recorded on a DVD video. Usually a single  
movie is treated as a title by video software and a  
single album (or song) is treated as a single title  
by music software. The consecutive numbers  
attached to titles are called title numbers.  
Title  
This is a unit for divisions of video or songs  
recorded on a DVD video, but it is a smaller unit  
than a title. A single title is made up of several  
chapters, and the consecutive numbers attached  
to chapters are called chapter numbers.  
Chapter  
Multi-Angle  
This is one feature of DVD video, where  
viewpoints of the same scene are changed by  
recording from several different angles (camera  
positions), allowing the viewer to select the  
preferred angle.  
This is one feature of DVD video, where the same  
scene is recorded with several different  
languages and subtitles, allowing the viewer to  
select the preferred language.
