Ball-point pen
Roughness
English
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the
player is used soon after switching on the
heater moisture may form on the disc or the
optical parts of the player and proper 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause
severe vibration may cause the CD to skip.
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in
the event that trouble arises, never open the
case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
CAUTION
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN
HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER and MINI DISC
PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR COMPLIANCE COULD VOID THE
USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND
WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.

Ball-point pen
Roughness
This unit uses sloping console to make largescreen displays possible.
When you use the sloping console, be sure to
close it.
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET YOUR FINGERS
CAUGHT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING
THE SLOPING CONSOLE.
1. For safety’s sake, always close the SLOPING CONSOLE before leaving this unit unused for a prolonged period or switching
OFF the ignition key.
If you switch OFF the ignition key with the
SLOPING CONSOLE tilted, the SLOPING
CONSOLE does not close.
Handling Compact Discs
Use only compact discs bearing the or
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 ballpoint pen or the like to
remove any roughness
from the edge of the
disc.
• 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 compact disc, you may not be able to get it
back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD
player.
Be sure to unfold and read the next page. / Veuillez déplier et vous référer à la page suivante.

English
2. Before the SLOPING CONSOLE closes,
there may be a braking sound from the
safety mechanism. This is normal.
3. If you move the SLOPING CONSOLE by
hand, this may create play. To correct this
play, with the power on for the unit, press the
[Q] button to close the SLOPING CONSOLE.
4. After a disc is ejected, the SLOPING CONSOLE automatically returns to the tilted or
closed state. If there is any obstruction when
the SLOPING CONSOLE tries to close, the
safety mechanism is triggered and the
SLOPING CONSOLE returns to the open
state. If this happens, remove the obstruction, then press the [Q] button.
5. To avoid scratching the compact disc, keep
the 12 or 8 cm CD level when inserting or removing them.
• 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 heat-
ers.
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 avail-
able cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean
compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the com-
pact disc dry off well before playing it.

MP3/WMA
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 about 10
music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R 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 DRM indicator blinks.)
• Windows Media™, and the Windows® logo are
trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and/or other
countries.
● To disable DRM (Digital Rights Manage-
ment):
1. When using Windows Media Player 8, click
on TOOLS ➜ OPTIONS ➜ COPY MUSIC
tab, then under COPY SETTINGS, unclick
the check box for PROTECT CONTENT.
Then, reconstruct files.
2. When using Windows Media Player 9, click
on TOOL ➜ OPTIONS ➜ MUSIC RECORD
tab, then under Recording settings, unclick
the Check box for RECORD PROTECTED
MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.

Bit rate: 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR
2. WMA: Bit rate 48 kbps-192 kbps
● File extensions
1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or
“.WMA” to MP3 or WMA 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.
2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play.
The indication “––:––” appears in the play
time display if you attempt to play files without MP3/WMA data.
● Logical format (File system)
1. When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software format. Normal play may not be
possible if the disc is recorded on another
format.
2. The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA play but
the title must be within 128 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals (including an extension).
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder
having the same name.
● Folder structure
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will be impossible.
● Number of files or folders
1. Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder.
Up to 500 files can be played.
2. Tracks are played in the order that they were
recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the
PC.)
3. Some noise may occur depending on the type
