SC-900/930
SC-900/930
Overview
A wide-front radio with large, ergonomically designed controls for simple, traffic-safe operation.
An external amplifier is required; the radio is equipped only with an amplifier for a centre loudspeaker (25 W).
The SC-930 is used in Japan (the radio does not provide RDS; Japanese traffic information is broadcast on two separate AM frequencies). The SC-900 is used in other markets.
Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound
Features
The car must be equipped with a centre loudspeaker and a Dolby unit.
The system is active only when the cassette player or CD player (not the radio) is playing.
The Dolby unit divides the normal left and right stereo channels into left, centre and right. The rear speakers also provide ambient surround sound, which simulates the resonance heard in the sound studio. In most modern recordings, the vocalist/soloist is heard in the very front, while the orchestra is heard from all directions, from left and right as well as rear. Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound provides a sound experience which is close to reality (that is, to the recording situation).
Operation of system
Press 'MODE' button to select function. The selection is displayed in the window. Dolby ProLogic 3 CH: Centre speaker active without ambient surround sound Dolby ProLogic 5 CH: Centre speaker active with ambient surround sound.
The volume of the ambient surround sound from the rear speakers can be regulated when the 'BASS' button is pulled out.
The volume of the ambient surround sound from the centre speaker can be regulated when the 'FADER' button is pulled out.
Note! Special attention should be paid to functions shown in bold when replacing the radio.
