Sound Quality (continued)
Clarion’s Low-Vibration Suspension System
Clarion CD players (and CD and DVD changers)
feature an advanced suspension system to pre-
vent skipping and mistracking. Clarion incorpo-
rates a system of springs and dampeners to mini-
mize the chances of skipping, whether the unit’s
on the road, off the road, or on the water. Along
with the suspension system, a three-beam laser
pick-up assembly is employed. The center pick-up
detects the digital information that is sent to the
D/A converter. The inner and outer pick-ups guide
the laser assembly to precisely track the digital
information on the CD. With the advanced sus-
pension system, D/A converters and the zero bit
detection circuit, it is easy to see why Clarion CD
players perform flawlessly with excellent sound
quality.
Clarion’s CD Operational Safeguards
Clarion’s CD operational safeguards allow the CD
mechanism to detect disc size, prior disc-in-drive
detection, foreign object detection, and auto reload.
A tapered loading-roller precisely centers the CD
onto the drive spindle. Since the roller mechanism
is tapered, only the edges of the CD are touched,
thereby eliminating the possibility of scratches. A
sensor prevents disc loading when one is already
in the player by automatically closing a loading
gate.
These operational safeguards allow safer CD disc
handling, prevent jams from accidental loading of
two CDs, and helps to reduce service problems
by detecting foreign objects in the drive mecha-
nism.
Clarion’s CD mechanism uses photosensors and
LEDs to identify 3" or 5" compact discs.

AC-Processor IV: Cutting Edge Technology
for Total Sound Control
The AC-Processor III is Clarion’s advanced digital
sound processing technology. It was developed by
bringing together various sound quality and sound
field manipulation technologies. It provides a wide
spectrum of features like Dolby Pro Logic II, Virtual
Space Enhancer, Time Alignment, Electronic
Crossovers and Parametric EQ. The AC-Processor
IV has four modes: Pro Logic II, Standard Mode, 2-
Way and 3-way. With all these features and func-
tions, the AC-Processor IV allows for nearly infinite
system configuration and manipulation.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II
is a matrix sound
decoding technolo-
gy developed by
Dolby Laboratories
that is able to take any 2-channel source source,
such as a CD or radio broadcast, decode it, and
output it as 5.1-channel sound. Clarion was the
world’s first to incorporate this innovation into the
DXZ925 (now contained in the DXZ955MP),
enabling the sonic experience of a live concert to
be reproduced in your vehicle.
