About the Digital Network
A vehicle, unlike the home audio, imposes several constraints upon the quality of reproduced sound, and have the following effects: Reflected sounds have strong effects on direct sounds because of the confined space and complex shape within a vehicle. This disturbs frequency characteristics and significantly reduces sound quality. The orientation of the sound image becomes unnatural, because speakers may not be installed symmetrically to left and right of the listener, or because speakers are installed in both the front and rear. This system is equipped with a wide variety of functions that use DSP to create the ideal sound quality and sound image in a vehicle and overcome these constraints on reverberation.

MODE Switch Setting

This product equipped two setting modes. The one is LR/IND mode and the other is LR/COM mode. LR/IND mode can be adjusted the equalizer and network adjustment independently between Left and Right channel. LR/COM mode can be adjusted these adjustment simultaneously between Left and Right channel. Since usable functions are different between LR/IND and LR/COM, be sure to set the mode correctly.
Set MODE switch of this product to appropriate position with a pen tip or other pointed instrument.
Resetting the Microprocessor
The microprocessor must be reset under the following conditions: When using this product for the first time after installation. When the machine fails to operate properly. When strange (incorrect) messages appear on the display. When setting the position of the MODE switch of this product.
To reset the microprocessor, press the RESET button on this unit with a pen tip or other pointed instrument.

Precaution

Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and precautions. Always keep the volume low enough for outside sounds to be audible. Protect the product from moisture. If the battery is disconnected, the preset memory will be erased and must be reprogrammed. Should this product fail to operate properly, contact your dealer or nearest authorized Pioneer Service Station.

Audio Adjustment

Audio Menu
This system has the following three Audio Menus:
Main <Main> (page 11)
This carries out Fader/Balance Adjustments as well as Bass/Treble Adjustment, the basis for sound quality adjustments. It also sets up and adjusts the Position Selector, which corrects the orientation of the sound image for the listeners position in the vehicle.
Equalizer <Equalizer> (page 18)
This corrects complex frequency disturbance in a vehicle. The Equalizer function for the component can make fine adjustments of sound quality for each frequency.
Network <Network> (page 23)
This adjusts the reproduced frequency band (cross-over frequency) and the level of each sound range (band) when a multi-amp system is set up. It also corrects unnatural orientation of the sound image caused by the locations of the speakers (using the Time Alignment function), by setting up a delay (time difference) between speakers set up for different sound ranges. Note:
The 5//2/3 buttons on the head unit (DEX-P90RS) can not be used for Audio Adjustment operations.
Switching to the Audio Menu

When the system is ON, you can adjust the sound quality.
1. Each press of MENU button selects the desired Audio Menu in the following order: Audio Adjustment
Main (Main Menu) = Equalizer (Equalizer Menu) = Network (Network Menu)
2. Operate the mode. 3. Press the BAND button and cancel the Audio Menu.
Cancel the Audio Menu to return to the operations screen of the source currently in use.

This switches to Main Menu Setting Screen.
2. Press the FUNCTION button 1.
The display switches to Bass/Treble Adjustment Screen.

1. Adjust the distance from each speaker using the Time Alignment Adjustment function of the Network Menu (refer to page 25). 2. Adjust the overall distance from the left and right speakers using the Position Fine Tuning Function.
Use the set values for the Time Alignment Adjustment function to fine tune the overall balance of the sound image positions.
3. Use the Position Fine Tuning Function to adjust the overall level balance between the left and right speakers.
Adjust the difference in sound levels between the left and right speakers so that the sound image is in the front. Adjusting distance using the Position Fine Tuning function
When the display has switched to Time Alignment Adjustment Screen after adjusting the distance between the listening position and each speaker using the Position Fine Tuning function, the values set using the Position Fine Tuning function will be added to the values created using the Time Alignment Adjustment function and the sum of the values displayed. To store the displayed values in memory as new values for the Time Alignment Adjustment function (standard values for the Position Fine Tuning function), adjust any one value again, using the 5/ buttons. The displayed values will be stored in memory and the distance between the listening position and each speaker set using the Position Fine Tuning function will be reset and returned to 0.
When the distance has been using the Time Alignment Adjustment function
The distance adjustment of the Position Fine Tuning function uses the distance adjustment of the Time Alignment Adjustment function as its basis. If the distance is reset using the Time Alignment Adjustment function, this standard value is changed. When this happens, any distance adjustment previously set using the Position Fine Tuning function is reset to 0.
Source Level Adjustment <SLA> (Open state)
The SLA (Source Level Adjustment) function prevents radical leaps in volume level when switching between sources. Settings are based on the FM volume level, which remains unchanged.
1. Compare the FM volume with the volume of the other source (refer to DEX-P90RS (sold separately) Owners Manual). 2. Press the MENU button to switch to the Main Menu. 3.

The MW/LW volume level, which is different from the FM base setting volume level, can also be adjusted similar to sources other than tuner. The head units CD player, Multi-CD player and DVD player are set to the same volume adjustment setting automatically. AUX, External 1 and External 2 are set to the same volume adjustment setting automatically.

Audio Adjustment <Equalizer>

About the Equalizer Menu

One important factor for creating quality sound is the correction of disturbances in frequency characteristics within the complex shape of a vehicle interior. Reflected sounds have a strong effect on direct sound in a vehicle because of the vehicles shape, the confined space, absorption of sound by the seats and reflection from the windows. All these cause disturbances in the frequency characteristics. Such disturbances will be apparent as reduced sound quality.
Audio Adjustment <Main> / Audio Adjustment <Equalizer>
Graphic equalizer is used under this system. The graphic equalizer adjustment corrects disturbances in frequency characteristics and creates a smooth sound quality. As installation conditions differ for the left and right speakers, different corrections must be made for each. This systems graphic equalizer is able to correct the left and right speakers separately.
Equalizer Menu <GEQ>
With this menu, you can make the following adjustments. Recalling the Equalizer Curve (Closed state) (Refer to page 37.) Adjusting the 31 Band Graphic Equalizer <FINE> (Open state) Flat function <FLT> (Open state) Memory functions of Adjusted Equalizer Curves (Open state) (Refer to page 34.)
Switching to the Equalizer Menu
Press the MENU button and select the Equalizer Menu (refer to page 10).
After the title screen, the display switches to the operation screen of the Equalizer Menu. Opening and closing the cover of the remote control (refer to page 4) switches between the open and closed states of the menu display and setting screen.
To cancel the Equalizer Menu, press the BAND button.
Relation Between Frequency Characteristics and Sound Quality
Sound quality generally has the following characteristics, depending on the frequency. Refer to these characteristics when making adjustments.
Soprano Alto Tenor Baritone Bass Violin Guitar Piano Tr u m p e t Bass Drum Flute Tenor Saxophone Electric Organ Piccolo Cymbals
q This sound range feels almost like pressure on the ears of the listener, particularly if the sound is too strong. w In this range, the listener feels the heavy bass. This is also the range in which the impact of the sound is felt in the body. Excessive sound in this range will impair the clarity of the overall sound. e The sound range required for bass. A lack of sound in this range results in a weak bass impact, while excessive sound will muffle the overall sound. A clear reproduction lends depth to the overall sound. r This is the sound range in which the sound signals are most dense and where the sound outline is created. A lack of sound in this range results in a lack of warmth. Excessive sound dims clarity. t The sound range required for the core of the sound. A lack of sound in this range weakens the core. An important range for keeping the overall sound quality in balance. y In this range, the sharp, expansive sounds of the brass and electric guitar are felt. However, excessive sound in this range is tiring on the ears. u This sound range adds color and gaiety to the overall sound. A lack in sound in this range will result in a muffled overall sound, while excessive sound will enhance the metallic aspects. i This range is required for the glamorous sound of the cymbals. However, this range does not contain the basic frequencies of almost all the instruments. Therefore, if the sound in this range is lacking somewhat, the overall sound quality will not deteriorate markedly.

The points when adjusting the equalizer curve
Take the recreated frequency bands of the speakers into consideration when adjusting. For example, when a speaker with a band between 80 Hz and 4 kHz is connected, adjusting the level in 50 Hz or 10 kHz will have no effect. Balancing the bass and treble is recommended. The bass tends to be lacking when no subwoofer is connected. Adjust the treble to a lower volume to match the weaker bass and create a well-balanced sound. Noises coming from the road make the bass seem weak while driving. If the level is below 100 Hz, adjust to a slightly greater level to maintain superb sound balance while driving. When the sound is inadequate or excessive, it is recommended to set the levels after checking the frequencies of the sounds in question by changing the peripheral frequencies to the maximum or minimum.
Audio Adjustment <Equalizer> 20
Adjusting the 31 Band Graphic Equalizer <FINE> (Open state)

2. Press the FUNCTION button 2 and select left or right channel. (Only for LR/IND mode.)
Each press the FUNCTION button 2 switches left and right channel. Note:
If you selected LR/COM mode (refer to page 7), you cant switch between left and right channel. In this case, <FRT> is displayed and the equalizer setting of left and right channel go to the same.
3. Press the 2/3 buttons and select the desired band (frequency) to be adjusted.
4. Press the 5/ buttons and adjust the level.
5. Adjust the other bands.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust to the desired sound.
6. Switch between right and left to set up the equalizer curve.
Repeat steps 25 to set up equalizer curves for the left and right speakers separately.
When completing the adjustment
It is recommended that adjustment settings be stored in memory soon after the adjustments are completed. Refer to page 34 for Memory operations.
The Flat function <FLT> (Open state)
The adjusted equalizer curve can be temporarily returned to its prior status before making the adjustment (all levels are 0 dB), using the Flat function. This is convenient for checking the effects of the adjusted equalizer curve.
1. Open the cover of the remote controller in the Equalizer Menu (refer to page 4).
2. Press the FUNCTION button 1 switches the Flat function ON/OFF.
FLT is displayed when the Flat function is ON. Note:
When the Flat function is ON, the Equalizer Adjustment or Memory operations of the Equalizer curve can not be conducted.

It is recommended that adjustment settings be stored in memory soon after the adjustments are completed. Refer to page 34 for Memory operations. After completing the network adjustments, adjust the overall balance of the sound image by using the Position Fine Tuning function of the Main Menu as necessary (refer to page 14).
Time Alignment Adjustment <T.A.> (Open state)
In the vehicle, the different speaker units are at widely differing distances from the listener. The sounds from the speakers therefore reach the listener at different times. When a multi-amp system is set up, this causes different delays for each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass-ranges), marring the position of the sound image and the overall balance and disturbing the frequency characteristics. The Time Alignment Adjustment function is able to synchronize the arrival times of the different sounds by delaying the output of signals from the closest speaker units.
Switching to the Time Alignment Adjustment Mode
1. Open the cover of the remote control in the Network Menu (refer to page 4).
This switches to Network Menu Setting Screen.
The display switches to Time Alignment Adjustment Screen, allowing time alignment adjustment.
Measuring the Distance to be Corrected (Delay Time)
It is necessary to calculate the delay time to correct the time differences between speaker units. In order to adjust the Time Alignment Adjustment function more easily, this System allows the delay time to be set up by simply inputting the difference in the distance between speaker units (the distance to be corrected). (The delay time will be automatically calculated by this system.) Although the distance from each speaker unit varies depending on the position of the listener, the first set up is made for the drivers seat. If the set up has been made for the drivers seat, the optimum delay time for the listeners position can be set up by simply switching the Position Selector function (refer to page 13) to the listening position. (This System automatically calculates and sets up the optimum delay time for each position.)
Example: making corrections for the drivers seat in a left-hand drive vehicle Measure the distance between the head of the listener, when sitting in the drivers seat, and each speaker unit.
The unit of distance must be centimeters.
Left Speaker (L) Right Speaker (R)
Front tweeter (high-range) r1 Front mid (mid-range) r3 r5
Front tweeter (high-range)
r2 r4 r6 Front mid (mid-range)

Front bass (low-range)

Subwoofer (ultrabass-range)
It is recommended that the boxes be filled in as the measurements are made, as this information may prove useful at a later date. Measure the distances to be corrected in the same manner for other systems than those used in the above example.

Inputting the Distance to be Corrected (Delay Time)
Scope of adjustment: 0 340.0 cm (1.7 cm/1 step)
3. Press the FUNCTION button 5 and select the drivers seat (position).
Press the buttons to switch between FRONT-R and FRONT-L. Select the position when measuring the distance to be corrected as shown on the page 26. Note:
The correct distance can not be input unless these operations are conducted.
4. Press FUNCTION buttons 3 or 4 and select the speaker channel to input.
Press the buttons to switch between left (LEFT) and right (RIGHT).
5. Press FUNCTION buttons 1 or 2 and select the band to input.
Each press of the FUNCTION buttons 1 or 2 select the desired band in the following order: S.W. (ultrabass-range) LOW (low-range) MID (mid-range) HIGH (highrange)
6. Press the 5/ buttons to input the distance to be corrected (delay time).
Input the distance to be corrected, as measured on page 26. Holding down these buttons continues their operations (during distance tuning, holding down the button moves the distance 3.4 cm/1 step).
7. Carry out time alignment adjustments for the other speaker units.
Repeat steps to input the distance to be corrected for each speaker unit. Note:
Some systems may indicate values for speaker units which are not connected. Verify the composition of the system in order to correctly adjust the bands for the connected speaker units.
Filter Adjustment <FTR> (Open state)
The following adjustments can be made during filter adjustments. Make the appropriate adjustments for the reproduced frequency band and characteristics of the connected speaker unit.
Filter frequency adjustment: Every 1/3 octave Level adjustment: 0.5 dB/1 step
The cut-off frequencies of the high pass filter (H.P.F.) and the low pass filter (L.P.F.) of each band (subwoofer, low, mid, high) and the reproduction level of each band are set up. Range
Subwoofer-range Low-range Mid-range High-range
Cut-off frequency of H.P.F.

Level adjustment range

24 +10 dB dB dB dB
Slope adjustment: PASS, 6 dB/oct. 36 dB/oct. (Every 6 dB/oct., total of 6 steps)

Adjusting the high-range effectively
Depending on the speaker units installed, bass signals for the tweeter (about 2 kHz or below) may cause distortion as the high pass filter is being adjusted. If this happens, set a sharp slope of dB/oct. In this case, choose such settings that the mid-range and tweeter do not become separated. The low pass filter is generally set to PASS. However, if the ultratreble band falls harshly on the ear, it is possible to set up a more gentle slope of about 6 dB/oct.
Audio Adjustment <Memory Functions>
Memory Functions of Adjusted Audio Menu (MEMO)
This system allows the contents of the adjusted equalizer and network to be stored in memory as follows. The numbers in ( ) represent the numbers of the memory registers to be used. Note:
The Equalizer Menus equalizer curve, and the Network Menus Time alignment and Filter adjustment are simultaneously stored in memory.

CAUTION

This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation. Refer to the owners manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly. Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake, and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body. Dont pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
Routing the Optical Cable
Try not to bend the optical cable sharply. If it is necessary to bend it sharply, make sure that the bending radius is at least 25 mm (1 inch), otherwise the cable will not transfer signals properly and so this unit will not work properly. Route the optical cable so that nothing heavy rests on it, and so that it cannot be stepped on or caught in anything for instance, a door. Make a loop of diameter at least 200 mm (7-7/8 inches) with the remaining optical cable so that the cable does not get strained. When plugging the optical cable into the unit, use the supplied cable cramp to prevent the cables from being bent sharply. Route the optical cable so that it does not get caught in moving parts such as the gear shift, hand brake, or seat sliding mechanism. Keep the cable away from hot spots, such as near the heater outlet.
7 Using the Corrugated Tube
To prevent the optical cable from being strained, use the corrugated tube after cutting it to the correct length.
Insert the optical cable into the corrugated tube.

FOR PRS POWER AMPLIFIERS

PRS-A700 PRS-A500
Hi-Bit Conversion The DEX-P90RS upgrades the original CD audio signals from 16-bit to 24-bit, and picked-up CD data resolution by a factor of 256. The result: lower quantization noise, expanded dynamic range, minimal processing error, and superior linearity, delivering sound as it was meant to be reproduced and heard.

Time 24-bit 16-bit

31-Band L/R Independent Digital Equalizer This finely tunes equalization of the sound curve and independently adjusts for slight differences between left and right channel frequency response for truer, clearer sound.
FOR DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
4-Way L/R Independent Digital Crossover Network Optimize the balance of speaker output by adjusting sound pressure level or left and right channels independently, according to listener position and system configuration.
Current Feedback Type Power Amplifier Circuitry For high-resolution sound amplification, this circuitry uses MOSFET in the final output stage for extremely high slew rate that results in quicker input signal response, wide range characteristics and low distortion.

NOT FINAL

L/R Independent Power Supply This new circuit designs L/R independent symmetric layout improves channel separation. Independently mounted large DC-DC converter power supply directs electric current more effectively, with superior stability.

Conventional

Time Alignment Image
Time Alignment Signal output of each speaker can be calibrated in 1/20,000-second increments, for optimal phasing of sound from the system, according to listener position. Precise equalization and suppression of frequency response disturbance makes for a clearer, more focused soundstage.
Digital delay processing makes all speakers sound as if they are virtually equidistant from the listener, for a clearer, front-focused soundstage.

MOSFET Power Supply
Pioneers new power amplifiers are packed for high performance, with MOSFET power supply at the core of their sophisticated circuitry. s PWM regulated power supply with MOSFET switching MOSFET power supply manages to apply input power with superior efficiency, stability and switching speed. It also boosts direct current from batteries more efficiently and supplies high current at the amplifying stage. The process helps to deliver high-quality, high-powered sound with less noise and distortion.
