English
Use only compact discs bearing the mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode
may not be usable.
Handling
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played.
Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in
the car.
• New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. If such discs are used, the player
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a
ball-point pen or the like to remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.
Ball-point pen
English
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use
of such discs may cause misoperation or
damage.
• To remove a compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc
or cause breakdown of the internal
mechanism.
Storage
• Do not expose compact discs to direct
sunlight or any heat source.
• Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.

playback may not be possible. If moisture
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
If moisture forms on the optical parts of the
player, do not use the player for about one
hour. The condensation will disappear
naturally allowing normal operation.
3. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibration may cause the sound
to skip.

• Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil
or pen.
• Never play a compact disc with any
cellophane tape or other glue on it or with
peeling off marks. If you try to play such a

RDS Operations
RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that
supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS
data.
This system can display the name of the
broadcast station being received (PS) and can
automatically switch to the broadcast station
with the best reception as you move long
distances (AF switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type is broadcast from an RDS station, no
matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is
received.

What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial
size with a high quality sound. This means that
about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CDR disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening
time without having to change CDs.
Precautions when creating MP3 disc
● File extensions
• Always add a file extension “.MP3” to MP3 file
by using single byte letters. If you add a file
extension other than specified or forget to add
the file extension, the file cannot be played.
● Logical format (File system)
• When writing MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-
RW disc, please select ISO9660 level 1, 2,
Joliet or Romeo as the writing software
format. Normal play may not be possible if the
disc is recorded on another format.
• The folder name and file name can be
displayed as the title during MP3 play but the
title must be within 16 (Folder Name) or 28
(File Name) single byte alphabetical letters
and numerals (excluding an extension).
● Number of files or folders
• The MP3 recording media reproducible on this
unit has the following limitations :
1. Maximum number of files : 254
2. Maximum number of folders : 128
3. Some noise may occur depending on the
type of encoder software used while
recording.
