Overview: The Eclipse CD5030 is a multi-source receiver
that, in addition to playing CDs, will play digital music files you have saved
to a USB memory device. You can also connect your iPod via the USB Direct cable
input. Through its E-Lan bus connector, you can add an optional HD Radio or
Satellite radio tuner, or a CD changer. The CD5030's built-in Bluetooth wireless
technology lets you make and receive calls on your Bluetooth-compatible cell
phone, as well as playback your music wirelessly on a Bluetooth-enable audio
device. A wireless remote control is included to help you switch between all of
your connected sources.

Display Features
Display and Button Illumination: The CD5030 features a black
and white OEL (organic electro-luminescent) display panel. The front panel buttons
are backlit and can be set to glow Red or Blue. If the accessory power is on, the
unit is turned off, and the clock is turned on in the menu; the display turns off
(the clock stays on) but the buttons and rotary knob stay backlit. When the unit
is on and voltage is applied to the illumination wire the display dims, but the
button backlighting remains unchanged.
Customizable Display: The unit gives you a choice of display
patterns or you can import your own images. You can choose from two Motion Picture
options, two spectrum analyzer displays, a standard black background, or the display
can be turned off. Using the E-iSERV website, you can download other display data and
applications for creating motion pictures. Images are loaded onto a CD-R or USB drive
and imported to the head unit.
ESN Security: The CD5030 is equipped with ESN (Eclipse Security
Network). A music CD, called the Key CD, is registered to the unit. If you have to
disconnect the battery, or remove the radio from constant power, you will need to
re-insert the Key CD in order for the radio to function again.

High-volt Preamp Outputs: The
CD5030
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 CD5030 is equipped with several
sound adjustment features:
- Parametric EQ: The 7-band parametric EQ
allows more accurate tonal adjustment than typical bass and
treble controls or a graphic equalizer. There are four preset
EQ curves, which can be overwritten by your own settings on
Preset Buttons 1-4. You can adjust the level of each frequency
band from -10dB to +10dB. You can also choose one of five Q
Curve patterns (bandwidth): Wide, Mid-wide, Normal, Mid-Narrow,
and Narrow. The bands include the following frequencies
(default underlined):
- Band 1: 63 Hz, 80 Hz,
100 Hz
- Band 2: 125 Hz, 160 Hz,
200 Hz
- Band 3: 250 Hz, 315 Hz, 400
Hz, 500 Hz
- Band 4: 630 Hz, 800 Hz, 1
kHz, 1.25 kHz
- Band 5: 1.6 kHz, 2 kHz, 2.5
kHz, 3.15 kHz
- Band 6: 4 kHz, 5 kHz, 6.3
kHz, 8 kHz
- Band 7: 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz,
16 kHz
- Auto EQ: With the optional MEI-100
microphone, you can automatically measure the frequency
characteristics of your vehicle, and store the optimum
EQ settings into the head unit's memory.
- Time Alignment: The delay time and
level of the sound from each speaker can be adjusted in
order to correct phase mismatches in the sound resulting
from the listening position. The delay time can be adjusted
from 0 to 10.0 ms for each of the four speakers and the
subwoofer (non-fader). With the optional MEI-100 microphone,
you can automatically set the time alignment.
- Position Selector: You can adjust the
sound field to the listener's seat position. You can select
from the following: Front, Rear, Front-Right, or Front-Left.
- 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 (line-level and speaker-level). You can
choose from 23 frequencies between 63 Hz and 10 kHz for
the front and rear, and from 11 frequencies between 20 Hz
and 200 Hz for the subwoofer. The slope of the crossover
can be set to "Pass", 6 dB/octave, 12 dB/octave,
18 dB/octave, or 24 dB/octave.
- Non-fader: The output of the non-fader
(subwoofer) output can be set to stereo or mono, the phase
can be set to normal or reverse, and the output level can
be adjusted from -6 to +6.
- Multi-Harmonizer: The Multi-Harmonizer
uses harmonic synthesis to restore high frequencies that are
lost as a result of the compression process. When you are
playing MP3/WMA or USB memory files, you can set the
Multi-Harmonizer to High, Low, or Off.
- 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 +7dB
boost at 50Hz and a +5dB boost at 10kHz.
Source Volume Controls (SVC):
Because the level of each source can vary, the Source Volume Controls
allow you to raise or lower the volume of AM radio, CD audio, and any external
source compared
to the FM radio signal. The volume differences can be set within a range of -10
to +20.
AM/FM Tuner
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:

HD Radio Ready: The CD5030 is compatible with the optional
HDR109 HD Radio Tuner (099HDR109,
sold separately). When the HDR109 is connected, you
can enjoy your same FM and AM stations with digital sound quality, as well as
stations with sub-channels (multicasting). The CD5030 and HDR109 also support
iTunes tagging. Information for songs you "tag" is transferred to your
iPod when it is connected so you can purchase the desired tracks from iTunes.
Auxiliary Input:
A stereo RCA auxiliary input on an 8" pigtail is located on the back of the
unit. The aux input can be turned off in the menu, so you don't have to toggle
past it when you change inputs when there's nothing connected. A second
auxiliary source can be added using the optional AUX105 Aux cord (099AUX105,
sold separately), plugged into the E-LAN
connector on the rear panel. If the AUX105 is used, you
cannot add a CD changer, HD Radio tuner, or satellite radio tuner.
Satellite Radio Ready: There
are several options for connecting an optional satellite radio
tuner to this receiver:
- SIRIUS Satellite Radio: To receive
SIRIUS Satellite Radio, you can connect the optional
SiriusConnect tuner with the Eclipse Sirius Connect
adapter (package item number
700SIRECLi).
- XM Satellite Radio: To receive XM
Satellite Radio, you can connect the optional CNP2000UC
XM Mini Tuner and the Eclipse CNP-ECL1 adapter cable
(package item number
700XMECL1).
- Auxiliary Input: A portable satellite
radio receiver, such as the Delphi SkyFi3 or SIRIUS Sportster
5, can be connected to the head unit via an auxiliary input.
Changer Controls: The CD5030 can
control up to two Eclipse CH3083 8-disc CD changers (099CH3083,
sold separately) 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 CD5030 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.
Remote Control
Remote Control: The
CD5030 comes with a wireless 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 CD5030. 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.
