•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.

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.

• The factory default setting is “ON”.

• When the AF function is ON, “AF” blinks in the display.

■ To switch the AF function ON/OFF

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”.

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

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.

English

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.

Precautions when creating MP3/WMA disc

● Usable sampling rates and bit rates:

1. MP3: Sampling rate 11.025 kHz-48 kHz, 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 “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.

FREQUENCY (center frequency selection)

Selects the frequency to be used as the center of the frequency band to be compensated from the range 20Hz to 20kHz. (1/3 octave steps, 31 points)

GAIN (gain adjustment)

Adjusts the gain (output level) within the range

-12dB to +12dB. (1dB steps, 25 points)

Q (Q curve selection)

Sets one of 1, 3, 5, 7, or 20 as the sharpness of the Q curve.

● Compensation

There is no need to compensate frequency characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or valleys) when you have measured the frequency characteristics with a measuring device. However, sometimes the frequency characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this happens, the frequency characteristics must be compensated. Create a frequency curve having characteristics that are opposite to the center frequency of parts where the characteristics rise and fall to cancel out these peaks and values, and make the frequency characteristics as flat as possible.

Making the frequency characteristics as flat as possible is called “compensation”.

On this unit, frequency characteristics can be compensated by P.EQ (Parametric Equalizer).

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology in which updated digital matrix technology is applied and Dolby Pro Logic is further improved. Dolby Pro Logic II realizes excellent 5.1 channel reproduction of Dolby surround source as well as stereo sound sources such as CDs, thereby causing a surround channel to be full-ranged (20 Hz to 20 kHz) and become stereo. Therefore, you can enjoy any stereo sources with dynamic sound of

5.1 channel. The Music Mode or Matrix Mode

can be selected according to a source to be reproduced.
