PLAYING MP3/WMA FILES
Instructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for DVD and MP3 operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video Operation section for information about these topics.
NOTE: When burning MP3 / WMA files onto a DVD disc, use the 2X or 4X burning option, if available. This slower burning speed will help eliminate buffer errors and increase disc reading reliability. Also, use folders when burning large numbers of songs / files to a disc for easy music navigation. Select the "Disc at Once" option and close your disc.
MP3/WMA Media and File Requirements
This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make sure it is formatted using the full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal disc operation.
Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a disc for a MEGA DVD music mix. Do not exceed this number of songs/files or disc readability problems may occur.
MP3 Format Compatibility
The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:
•ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters
•ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters
•Joliet – 64 characters
If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it may not be displayed or played back correctly. Use the following settings when compressing audio data for your MP3 disc:
•Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps
•Sampling Frequency: 48kHz
written by the CD writer. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".
For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, as shown below.
The VM9423 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly.
Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.
Loading an SD Card
NOTE: The VM9423 will support up to 8GB SD Cards. SD Cards larger than this (SDHC Cards) will not be recognized.
To Insert an SD card, you must first press the 
/EJECT button on the control panel (5) or remote control (23) to reveal the SD card slot (14). Insert the SD card into the card slot and the unit will read the media files on the card automatically.
EJECT |
LABEL SIDE UP |
To remove the card, first press the SRC button (6) to switch to another mode and stop SD playback. Push in and release to pop the card out. Grasp the SD card and pull it straight out.
Most cards have a thin recess that helps with removal.
NOTE: When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the "Disc at once" setting.
MP3 Playing Order
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were

BLUETOOTH OPERATION
NOTE: Bluetooth operation requires optional BTM10 accessory.
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that is developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, handheld PCs and other devices. Bluetooth operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000 companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Audiovox Corporation is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.
NOTE: The line-of-sight distance between this unit and your cellular phone must be 8 meters or less for sending and receiving voice and data via Bluetooth wireless technology. However, the transmission distance may become shorter than the estimated distance, depending on the environment in use.
Before attempting to use the Bluetooth functions on the VM9423, please make sure your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions (Headset or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere to the following guidelines for successful operation.
•Before using Bluetooth functions, you must pair your mobile phone to the VM9423 head unit (see “Pairing the Bluetooth System with Your Mobile Phone and Head Unit”). To ensure the best reception for pairing and reconnection, please make sure the phone battery is fully charged before you begin.
•Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone being turned on.
•Once the unit has been paired with the phone, the unit’s model number, “VM9423”, will be displayed on the mobile phone.
•To achieve the best performance, always keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of the head unit.
•Always keep a clear path between the mobile phone and the head unit. Never place a metal object or any other obstacle between the mobile phone and the head unit.
•Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson) may have a "Power Saving Mode" option. PLEASE DO NOT use the power saving mode with the VM9423.
•Before accepting or making a call, make sure your mobile phone's “Bluetooth function” is turned on.
•To ensure the best conversation quality/performance, stay within one meter of the head unit when talking.
•To “disconnect” the mobile phone from the head unit, turn the Bluetooth connectivity off on the mobile phone.
•Phone Book direct searching through the head unit is only available if the mobile phone supports Phone Book Download. If the feature is not supported, the head unit will display “Phone book not provided by this phone” when an attempt is made to download a phone book.
