Features
MP3/WMA Playback: The CD3100 can play MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs in ISO 9660
Level 1 and 2. Recommended bit rates are 64-320 kbps for MP3 and 48-320 kbps for
WMA. Variable bit
rates from 64 to 320 kbps for MP3 and 48 to 192 kbps for WMA can be used, however there
may be a discrepancy in the time
display. The receiver can recognize a total of 256 files, 191 folders, and 8
directory layers on a single disc. The receiver can show the names of albums and artists
from and ID3 and WMA tags.
CD Text: If a CD Text disc is
inserted, the receiver will display the artist name, disc title, and track title
information.
Area Shot: Using the special
Eclipse E-iSERV
website, you can download turn-by-turn text directions to a destination using
NAVTEQ map data for the U.S. and Canada. The directions are burned to a CD-R and imported into the
CD3100. The Area Shot feature allows
you to display the driving instructions to your destination on the
receiver, you manually flip through the pages as you follow the route. Text
information includes intersection street names and turn directions.
Radio Band Switching: If you
wish to take the receiver out of the country, the tuner frequencies and interval
can be switched on any of four possible regions:
- USA:
- FM: 87.75-107.9 MHz (0.2
MHz step)
- AM: 530-1710 kHz (10 kHz
step)
- Asia (includes Europe):
- FM:
87.5-108.0 MHz (0.05 MHz step)
- AM: 522-1629 kHz (9 kHz
step)
- Australia:
- FM:
87.5-108.0 MHz (0.1 MHz step)
- AM: 522-1710 kHz (9 kHz
step)
- Latin America:
- FM:
87.75-107.9 MHz (0.1 MHz step)
- AM: 530-1710 kHz (10 kHz
step)
High-volt Preamp Outputs: The
CD3100
features three sets of 5-volt, low-impedance (55Ω) preamp outputs, including a
non-fading output for a subwoofer. The outputs are affected by the crossover settings (see below).
Sound Adjustment Modes: The
CD3100 is equipped with several sound adjustment features:
- Parametric EQ: The 3 band
parametric EQ allows more accurate tonal adjustment than typical bass and
treble controls or a graphic equalizer:
- Bass:
- Q (Width of adjusted
band): Wide, Midwide, Normal, or Narrow
- Center frequency:
60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz,
or 120Hz
- Middle:
- Q: Normal or Wide
- Center frequency:
700Hz (fixed)
- Treble:
- Q: Normal (fixed)
- Center frequency:
7.5kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, or 15kHz
- Crossover: The crossover
allows you to independently apply a low pass filter to the non-fading
(subwoofer) outputs and a high pass filter to the front and rear outputs. The slope of both is 12 dB/octave.
- Non-fader: The phase
and output level of the non-fading (subwoofer) output can be adjusted.
- Loudness: The loudness
control may be turned on to emphasize low and high frequencies at low volume
levels. When selected, the loudness contour provides a +10dB boost at 100Hz
and a +6dB boost at 10kHz.
Source Volume Controls (SVC):
Because the level of each source can vary greatly, the Source Volume Controls
allow you to raise or lower the volume of AM radio and CD audio compared
to the FM radio signal. The volume differences can be set within a range of -10
to +20.
Illumination: The front panel
buttons are backlit in green and red; the large buttons and rotary
knob are green and the presets, EQ, mode, and mute buttons are red. If the
accessory power is on and the unit is turned off, most of the LED display turns off
(the clock stays on) but
the buttons and rotary knob stay backlit. When the unit is on and 12 volts is applied to the
illumination wire the LED dims, but the button backlighting remains unchanged.
Remote Control: The
CD3100 is controlled by the supplied RMC105 remote control. With the remote you can
access the following functions: Power, Mode, Volume Up/Dn, Source select
(Disc/Tuner/Aux), Band select, Mute, Preset Channel Up/Dn, Disc Up/Dn, Track Up/Dn,
and Tune/Seek Up/Dn.
Steering Wheel Remote: Through
the special E-iSERV website from Eclipse, you can download software that enables
factory steering wheel remote operation of the CD3100. This software is
burned to a CD-R and imported into the receiver. Two wires (brown/black and
brown) in the supplied wiring harness need to be connected to factory wiring in
order for steering wheel remote commands can operate. Note: Depending
upon the vehicle's make and model, not all downloaded material may be compatible
with steering wheel remote functions.
Angle Mounting:
Eclipse recommends mounting the CD3100 no more that 30° above horizontal.
Auxiliary Input: The CD3100 is
compatible with the optional
AUX105 Aux cord (item #099AUX105), it's plugged into the E-LAN
connector on the rear panel. If the AUX105 is used, you
cannot add a CD changer. You can set
the input sensitivity of the Aux input to Low, Mid, or High.

iPod Ready:
You can enjoy music from your Apple iPod
when it's connected to the head unit via the optional Eclipse iPC-106 Interface
Adapter for iPod (item # 099IPC106). The adapter is compatible only with iPods
with a dock connector including the iPod video (5th generation), iPod touch
(1st/2nd generation), classic (80/120/160GB) and iPod nano (3rd/4th generation)
or iPhone/iPhon3G. While connected, the head unit will power the iPod, and charge
the iPod's battery. You can perform playlist, album, artist, genre, or song
searches. Playback functions include track up/down, fast forward/rewind, track
repeat, track random play, and album random play. Display selections include
song, album, or artist. The iPC-106's E-LAN pass-through allows you to add a CD
changer to your system.
Note: This adapter will not charge the iPhone3G, iPod
touch 2nd generation, or iPod nano 4th generation. The iPod classic and nano
3rd generation should have the latest version 1.1 or higher installed for
compatibility. This version can be downloaded from Apple's website.
HD Radio Ready: The CD3100 is
compatible with the optional HDR105 HD Radio Tuner (item #099HDR105). When the
HDR105 is connected, you can enjoy your same FM and AM stations with digital
sound quality. FM stations sound as good as CDs, and AM stations sound as good
as today's analog FM stations. The tuner has an E-LAN pass-through connection,
allowing you to daisy chain an Eclipse CD changer.
Satellite Radio Ready: There
are two options for connecting an optional satellite radio
tuner to this receiver, and a direct XM option will be available soon:
Bluetooth Ready: With the optional BT-E500
Bluetooth adapter (item number 099BTE500), you can make and receive calls
hands-free on your Bluetooth-capable cellular phone; communicate using an
included microphone and your vehicle's speakers.
Changer Controls: The CD3100 can
control up to two Eclipse CH3083 8-disc CD changers (item # 099CH3083) through
its E-LAN Bus connector. The CH3083 CD changer has a E-LAN pass-through input
for the second changer, so no special adapter is needed. When an
optional CD changer is connected, the CD3100 has the following controls: Track
Skip, Disc Skip, Fast Forward/Fast Reverse, Track Intro Scan, Disc Intro Scan,
Track Repeat, Disc Repeat, Disc Random, All Disc Random, and Direct Disc Select
