1. PRECAUTIONS

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 1 hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

For your safety, do not watch or operate the touch panel while driving.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads may cause severe vibration and cause the sound to skip.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

WARNING

Sloping Console

English

This unit uses a SLOPING CONSOLE to make large screen 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

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 start play. To correct this play, with the power for the unit ON, press the [ 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 [

5. To avoid scratching the compact disc, keep the 12 or 8 cm CD level when loading or removing it.

Q] button.

Use only compact discs bearing the or

mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in the 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 CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable. 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.

• 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 remove it from the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

• 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 break 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.

memory so far are cleared.

• When there are fewer than 6 stations with good

reception in LOCAL SEEK, low frequencies are automatically returned to, and auto store is performed again by DX SEEK. If there are fewer than 6 stations even after auto store is performed twice, stations stored so far remain in memory.

• If auto store is performed in the FM bands, the

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 over long distances (AF switching).

If a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcasted from an RDS station, this broadcast is received no matter what mode you are in.

Also, 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 the FM mode.

• AF : Alternative Frequency

• PS : Programme Service Name

• PTY : Programme Type

• EON : Enhanced Other Network

• TP : Traffic Programme

• PI : Programme Identification

•TA :Traffic Announcement ∗ RDS interrupt does not function during AM

radio reception.

∗ When this unit receives the RDS signal,

and can read PS data, PS appears in the display.

AF function

The AF function switches to a different frequency on the same network in order to maintain optimum reception.

1. Press the [MODE] button.

2. Touch [AF].

“AF” goes off in the display. To switch the AF function ON, repeat steps 1 and 2. ∗ If the reception of the current broadcast

station deteriorates, “SEARCH” appears in the display, and the radio searches for the same programme on another frequency.

■ AF function between RDS and DAB

When the same programme is broadcasted by both RDS and DAB, and this function is ON, this unit automatically switches to receive the broadcast with the better reception.

• This function only operates when the DAH923 or DAH913 DAB unit (Optional) is connected.

• This factory default setting is “ON”.

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

Management):

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. Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.

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 “ISO9660 level 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 of encoder software used while recording.
