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.
English
• 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.
Cleaning
•To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

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.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.
• AF : Alternative Frequency
• PS : Programme Service Name
• PTY : Programme Type
• EON : Enhanced Other Network
• TP : Traffic Programme

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 sound quality. 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.
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.
Notes:
• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output. (The WMA indicator blinks.)
