Operating precautions
<Your CD8445E will perform well over a long period of time through correct handling and care.>
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.
Notes on operation
• 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.
• 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.

How to operate the CD player

How to operate the CD player
• 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:
About brand new CDs
About compact discs
• 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.
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape. Do not write on or scratch
either side of a disc.
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or
warped discs out of the player to avoid damage it.
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle
discs by their edges.
• You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the
centre 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.

Operation
About CD accessories
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
About irregularly-shaped CDs
•
• 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.
•
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.
• 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.
• 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.
About cleaning a CD
• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD,
wiping gently from the centre to the edge.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on
CDs. They may damage a CD’s finish.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player
ATTENTION
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
TM
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.
About MP3/WMA
How to operate the MP3/WMA player
137
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
• 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.

Operation
File names
Only files with the MP3/WMA file extension ".mp3", ".wma" can be recognised 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 recognised whether entered as
uppercase letters or lowercase letters.
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. Standardise 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.
CAUTION
If the ".mp3", ".wma" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3/WMA file, that file will be
mistakenly recognised 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.

How to operate the tuner
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
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.
FM reception characteristics
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.

Reception area of FM broadcasts
Multipath
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.
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.

ATTENTION
At times, it may be difficult to maintain
optimum reception because the antenna
affixed to your vehicle is in motion
constantly (relative to the broadcast
antenna), encountering continuous
variation in the received radio signals’
strength. Other factors affecting reception
include interference from natural
obstacles, sign posts, etc.
You can switch the mode to
desired one.
The automatic preset mode starts.

How to operate the 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.

Various Settings
Parametric equaliser
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 equaliser lets you adjust
the peaks and dips of the frequency characteristics inside the vehicle to compensate for this.
An "equaliser" is a function that corrects these peaks and dips in order to flatten the frequency
characteristics. However with a normal graphic equaliser, 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 equaliser" 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 equaliser characteristics]
In the deck’s normal mode, 7-bands can be adjusted with a parametric equaliser. 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 equaliser, 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.
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 with 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 medium range.
XII
176
Various Settings
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.

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.
Selecting the speaker layout
In the unit's "pro" mode, selecting the layout of the speakers (4 speakers + subwoofer / 3-way
speaker system) allows you to make adjustments in accordance with the speaker system
connected.

The parametric equalizer can be set for a both
3-way speaker system or a 4-speaker system.
(For details about speaker layout, see page
194.)
4 speakers + subwoofer speaker
layout
When the speaker layout is set to 4SP + SW,
the parametric equaliser can be set with five
bands each for the front channel and rear
channel (a total of ten bands). The frequencies
that can be set for each band are indicated
below.
For the speaker layout settings, refer to
"Selecting the Speaker Layout (SP Layout)"
(See page 194).
ATTENTION
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 (See page
188).
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.
The mode will change to parametric
equaliser adjustment mode.
Each time the button is pressed, the
selection changes in the following
order.

Eclipse has by default assigned arbitrary
frequencies for each of the 5-Bands (Hi/Mid for
10 parametric bands total).
ATTENTION
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.
There are 10 Mid & Hi-Frequency locations (5 +
5) available for the parametric equalizer.
The Parametric Equalizer is divided into two
