PRECAUTIONS
•This unit is designed to be operated on a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical system only.
•To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the negative car battery terminal until the unit has been mounted and connected completely.
•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a fuse of higher amperage may cause serious damage to the unit.
•Do NOT attempt to disassemble this unit. Laser rays from the optical pickup are dangerous to the eyes.
•Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do not get inside the unit; they may cause malfunctioning, or a safety hazard such as electrical shock or exposure of laser rays.
•When your car was parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.
•Keep the volume at such a level that you can hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens, etc.).
Notes on CDs
•A defective or soiled CD inserted in the unit can cause sound to drop out during playback.
•Handle a CD by holding its inner and outer edges.
•Do NOT touch the surface of the unlabeled side of a CD.
•Do NOT attach any seal or label to either side
(the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
1 ENGLISH
• Do NOT expose the CD to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Clean the CD before playback. Wipe the CD from the center outward with a cleaning cloth.
•NEVER use solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean a CD.
•Smaller 3-inch (8-cm) CDs cannot be played on this unit. And do not use an adaptor as it may cause a malfunction. NEVER insert a 3-inch (8- cm) CD or its adaptor. If inserted, it may not eject.
•Do NOT use irregularly shaped CDs (example: heart-shaped, octagonal ones). Doing so may result in a malfunction. NEVER insert an irregularly shaped CD. If inserted, it may not eject.

Notes on creating your own CD-Rs
or CD-RWs containing MP3 files
•To enjoy high quality sound, we recommend converting to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
•Do NOT store more than 512 MP3 files per disc.
•Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you wrote them to the disc.
•The unit can read up to 5 sessions with a multi session disc.
•For ISO 9660-compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root directory (folder).
Notes on MP3
•The unit can read MP3 files written in the format compliant with ISO 9660. However it does not support the MP3 data written by the method of
Packet Write.
•The unit cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3.”
•If you play a non-MP3 file that has the “.mp3” extension, you may hear some noise.
•In this manual, we refer to what are called “MP3 file” and “folder” in PC terminology as “track” and “album,” respectively.
•The unit can play up to 512 tracks per disc.
•The unit may not play tracks in the order of track numbers.
•The unit plays only the audio tracks if a disc contains both audio tracks and MP3 files.
•When playing a disc of 8k bps or VBR*, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be correct and also the intro play may not function properly.
*VBR: Variable Bit Rate
13 ENGLISH
Tips on identifying the order of the tracks
•Include a twoor three-digit number at the beginning of each album or track name. (e.g.
“01,” “02,” … or “001,” “002,” …)
If you use the numbers such as “1,” “2,” “3,” …
”9,” “10,” “11,” …, the unit unexpectedly plays in
the order of “1,” “10,” “11,” … “2,” “20,” “21,” … “3,” “30,” “31,” and so on.
•It is recommended that you use only the parent folders (do not create child folders under a folder).
•Writing software capable of writing MP3 files in numerical and alphabetical order is required if you want them in order. For details on using the software, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your software.
