Preparing an MP3-CD
The various combinations of CD burners, CD burning software and CD blanks
may lead to problems arising with the
device’s ability to play certain CDs. If
problems occur with your own burned
CDs, you should try another brand of
CD blank or choose another colour of
CD blank. T o avoid problems when playing CDs, you should not burn CDs at
speeds greater than 16-speed.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660
Level 1 or Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats cannot be played reliably .
Avoid multi-sessions. If you write more
than one session to the CD, only the
first session will be detected.
You can create a maximum of 127 directories on a CD. Y ou can use this device to access each of these directories.
Each directory can in turn contain up to
254 tracks and subdirectories that can
also be accessed. A maximum of 8 levels of directories are allowed.

Since using some burner software can
lead to inconsistencies in the way items
are numbered, you should ensure that
the root directory D01 either contains
only subdirectories containing tracks
(Fig. 1) or only tracks (Fig. 2).
You can name each directory using a
PC. The device is capable of displaying
the directory name. Name the directories and tracks using your CD burner
software. The software’s instruction
manual will provide details on how to
do this.
Note:
● When naming directories and
tracks you should avoid using accents and special characters.
If you like your files to be in the correct
order, you should use burner software
that places files in alphanumerical order. If your software does not provide
this feature you also have the option of
sorting the files manually . To do so, you
should place a number (e.g. “001”,
“002”, etc.) at the beginning of each file
name - you must include the leading
zeros.
MP3 tracks can contain additional information such as the artist, album and
track names (ID3 tags). This device can
display version 1 ID3 tags.
This device can only play MP3 files that
have the “.MP3” file extension.
Note:
To ensure uninterrupted playback,
● do not try changing the file exten-
sion to “.MP3” of any files other
than MP3 files and then attempt to
play them!
● Do not use “mixed” CDs containing
both non-MP3 data and MP3
tracks.
● Do not use mix-mode CDs contain-
ing both audio tracks and MP3
tracks.
Switching to MP3 mode
MP3 mode is activated in the same way
as normal CD mode. For further details,
please read the section entitled “Switching to CD mode / Inserting a CD” in the
“CD mode” chapter.

Equalizer
This device is equipped with a DEQ Max
digital equalizer. It provides you with
three self-calibrating 5-band equalizers
and five sound presets.
The EQ1 - EQ3 equalizers can be calibrated automatically with the help of the
special calibration microphone (only included with the Los Angeles MP74). If
you like, you can then adjust the automatically ascertained values manually .
Furthermore, you can also configure all
of the equalizer settings manually .
The following bands are available:
● LOW 1 20 - 250 Hz
● LOW 2 20 - 250 Hz
● HIGH 1 315 - 20 000 Hz
● HIGH 2 315 - 20 000 Hz
● HIGH 3 315 - 20 000 Hz
You can adjust the level for one frequency of a band in steps of 25 ranging from
-12 dB to +12 dB. In addition, you can
set the quality factor “Q” in three steps
ranging from 1 to 3.

ger
EQ 3 for the front and rear occupants
Hold the calibration microphone in the
appropriate position whilst calibration is
taking place.
The position of the calibration microphone for situation 1 (e.g. for the driver
alone) is at the height of the driver’s
head.
For situation 2, the calibration microphone should be positioned between
the driver and the front passenger.
For Situation 3, it should be placed at
the centre of the vehicle interior (left/
right, front/back).
34
Really quiet surroundings are required
for the calibration. Any extraneous noise
will distort the measured values.
Note:
During calibration, the temperature inside the vehicle must not exceed 55 °C
since this could lead to falsified measurements.
The sound radiating from the loudspeakers must not be obstructed by any
objects. All the loudspeakers must be
connected. The microphone must be
