Terminology

Bit rate

This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.

Sampling rate

This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.

Encoding

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.

Tag

Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.

Root folder

The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.

Defeat

1 Press IMPRINT (iDA-X200 only) or SOUND (iDA- X300 only) repeatedly to choose the desired mode.

Each press changes the mode as follows:

SUBW LV*1 BASS LV TREBLE LV BALANCE LV FADER LV*2 LOUD*3 DEFEAT VOLUME SUBW LV*1

Subwoofer: 0 ~ 15

Bass level: –7 ~ +7

Treble level: –7 ~ +7

Balance: –15 ~ +15

Fader: –15 ~ +15

Loudness : ON/OFF

Defeat : ON/OFF

Volume: 0 ~ 35

•If IMPRINT (iDA-X200 only) or SOUND (iDA-X300 only) is not pressed within 5 seconds after selecting the Subwoofer, Bass, Treble, Balance or Fader mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode.

•Loudness introduces a special low-and high-frequency emphasis at low listening levels. This compensates for the ear’s decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound. The function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON.

*1 When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted. *2 If you set the 4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.)/2.2ch (3WAY) switch of the IMPRINT audio processor (PXA-H100) to 2.2ch (3WAY), you cannot adjust the FADER mode. For details, refer to the Owner’s

Manual of PXA-H100.

*3 When an external audio processor is connected, this setting cannot be made.

2 Turn the Double Action encoder (iDA-X200 only) or Rotary encoder (iDA-X300 only) until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.

•Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work.
