Owner’s manual

• Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks, umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry.

• Cleaning the cabinet Use a soft and dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as these substances may damage the cabinet or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.

• When a media without video images is played on the Sub zone, a black screen is output to the rear

monitor.

Note:

• When an interrupt of the Bluetooth telephone or the navigation system arises during the 2Zone function is

turned on, the sound of the Main zone is muted, but the sound of the Sub zone is output normally. When it arises during the 2Zone function is turned off, the audio signals to the 4ch speakers are attenuated, and the voice from the navigation system is output from the front two speakers.

• You cannot operate the 2Zone function during the interrupt of the Bluetooth telephone or the navigation

system.

About the MP3/WMA/AAC files

Owner’s manual

What is MP3/WMA/AAC?

MP3, WMA, and AAC are the audio file formats which have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a newer audio compression method developed for used with video compression standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, and has been adopted as the standard audio format of the iPod and iTunes by Apple Inc. These features compress the original audio data to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 audio CDs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

Displaying MP3/WMA/AAC Tag titles

Tag information (track title, artist name, and album title) can be displayed for an MP3/WMA/ AAC file containing the Tag information. This system supports the ID3 TAG version 1.x/

2.x and WMA-TAG.

Note:

• Tag information entered with 2-byte characters

may not be displayed properly on the display.

• The ID3 version 2.x tag format is not completely

supported. This system can display information up to 60 bytes, and ignores the rest.

• Album titles of WMA-TAG may not be displayed

properly.

Precautions on the MP3/WMA/AAC files

● General precautions

• Files other than MP3/WMA/AAC format cannot be played. In addition, some files may not be played because of the encoding settings. When a file cannot be played, the next file is played instead.

• Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used to encode the data.

• You can apply the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format when encoding. In this case, the displayed play time may be slightly different from the actual play time.

• Files that the DRM (Digital Rights Management) function is set cannot be played.

● For MP3 files

• Set the Sampling Frequency to:

• MPEG1 Layer3: 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz

• MPEG2 Layer3: 16, 22.05, or 24 kHz

• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8, 11.025, or 12 kHz

• Set the Bit Rate to:

• MPEG1 Layer3: 32 to 320 kbps (VBR)

• MPEG2 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)

• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)

• Add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” using single byte characters.

● For WMA files

• Set the Sampling Frequency to within ranges from 22.05 to 44.1 kHz.

• Set the Bit Rate to 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, or 192 kbps.

• Add a file extension “.WMA” or “.wma” using single byte characters.

● For AAC files

• This system supports only the MPEG4 Audio files encoded by the iTunes.

• Set the Sampling Frequency to 44.1 or 48 kHz.

• Set the Bit Rate to within ranges from 16 to 320 kbps (VBR).

• Add a file extension “.M4A” or “.m4a” using single byte characters.

cause damage.

• Any holes made in the body of the vehicle should be sealed with a silicon adhesive.

• If exhaust fumes or water penetrates into the vehicle, this may cause an accident.

• Fasten the bolts securely when installing the unit. If the bolts are loose an accident or malfunction could occur.

Connection Notes

WARNING

• Loom all cables according to the instruction manual, so as not to hinder operation.

• Wire the connecting cords/cables away from high temperature areas. If the coatings of the cables melt, it could cause an accident/fire by a short circuit. Take care when wiring in the engine compartment.

• When wiring the connecting cables in a vehicle with an airbag system, never feed the cables through a place where it may affect the operation of the airbag.

• An airbag not operating correctly in an emergency may cause increased injury.

CAUTION

• Verify wires with a digital multi-meter prior to making any connections. Many new vehicles use multiplexed and/or low voltage circuits that can be damaged if a test light or logic probe is used.

• Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong connection is made, this may cause a fire or accident.

• When passing cables through the body of the vehicle, use non-conductive grommets.

• If the coatings of the cables are worn out by rubbing, this may cause an accident, fire or a short circuit.

• After wiring cables, fix them with insulation tape.

• Be sure to switch off the vehicle when connecting or disconnecting cords to/from the unit, otherwise an electric shock, injury or accident may occur.
