MP3 Operations

What is SD/MMC card?

The MultiMediaCard (MMC

)

and Secure Digital

(SD)

are ﬂash memory

(

non-volatile

)

card format that are used to store large capacity of data in a compact and slim size of media. SD memory cards are based on the older MultiMediaCard (

MMC

)

format with additional features such as

write protection switch.

Memory card that can be played are limited to

those recognized as SD or MMC; operation is not guaranteed with all SD memory card from all manufacturers. For SD/MMC memory card compatibility, please consult your nearest Clarion dealer for more information.

To prevent the accidental loss of data, always

back up important data to your computer.

Audio ﬁles playable on this unit are limited to

MP3 ﬁles. AAC, WMA or other audio formats are not supported.

This unit doesnʼt support SDHC

(

Secure

Digital High Capacity) and SDIO (input/output

)

cards.

This unit supports SD memory card up to 2GB

based on SD Association standard.

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 12 percent of its initial size with a high quality sound. This means that several music CDs can be recorded on a SD card to allow a long listening time∗.

∗

Depends on the SD card storage capacity.

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.

Never simply change any ﬁle extension to

“.MP3” as this will cause unexpected result and may damage the unit as well. Please use appropriate audio converter to change to valid mp3 ﬁles.

Logical format (File system

)

1. When writing MP3 ﬁle on a SD/MMC card, please select “FAT12” or “FAT16” as the system ﬁle format. Please be aware that the Windows XP will format any volume of 512MB or larger with FAT32 by default. Thus, if the disk is using “FAT32” system ﬁle format, please format the disk with “FAT” system ﬁle format which is “FAT16”. All the data will be erased during formatting. Thus, please backup your data accordingly.

MP3 Operations

Never insert foreign objects into the SD/

MMC memory card slot as it may cause the unit to break down.

Do not insert memory card other than

specify. It may be impossible to extract these cards from the unit and such damage will not be covered by the warranty on this product. If the memory card is not inserted easily, there may be another memory card in the slot or the unit may require service.

This unit is designed for playing SD/MMC

card only.

Do not forcibly insert the memory card to

the slot with incorrect direction

(

label side facing down or reverse direction) as this will damage the memory card as well as the SD/MMC MEMORY CARD SLOT.

Do not leave a memory card unattended in

an automobile. Exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures may cause deforma

tion or other malfunction of the memory card.

When the memory card is subjected to

electrostatic or electric noise, this may result in the loss of data.

CAUTION

Loading a memory card

1. Press the [RELEASE

]

button to ﬂip down the

panel.

2. Insert a memory card into the SD/MMC MEMORY CARD SLOT with the label side facing up.

3. Close the ﬂip down panel. “Loading...” appears in the display, the memory card plays automati

Playback will begin from the ﬁrst ﬁle recorded

on the memory card.

Notes:

Sound will be muted when panel is flipped.

“FLIPPED” will be displayed.

Always insert the memory card fully by pushing it

into the slot. Incomplete insertion may cause the memory card not be recognized and ﬂip down panel will not be able to close.

Depending on the number of tracks and folder

structure recorded, some amount of time may be required until all tracks are read into the unit. Thus, please refer chapter “Folder structure” on page 13 for recommended folder hierarchy and optimal performance. It is best to avoid folders without MP3 ﬁles in memory card as this will increase loading time.
