Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold

About ODD (Offset Dual Differential) D/A
System (KDC-X889/KDC-MP828)
The high quality sound play is to be done by ODD
D/A System. Dual D/A converters are built-in the
ODD D/A System, and the digital processing is
isolated and controlled separately for front channel
so the channel separation is improved sharply.
Also, it produces the data in which the sound data
is offset on the minus side and converts the two
signals (original and offset data) to the analog
signal, which has less noise and distortion, by the
synthetic process.
However, ODD D/A System has no effect during the
following conditions.
- When "2 ZONE" of <Audio Setup> (page 13) is
"ON".
- When <Bypass Control> (page 17) is "Bypass".
