8.CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

Owner’s manual

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

• Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the

main unit when parking the car outdoors for long period of time. The LCD panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to 60˚C.

• Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks,

umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry.

• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any

way. Doing so may result in damage.

• Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as a

tray. Also, subjecting the LCD panel to shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so

may damage or deform the cabinet.

• If a problem should occur, have the set in-

spected at your store of purchase.

• Do not insert objects or poke in the space be-

tween the LCD panel and the main unit when the panel is tilted.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, 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 place anything on the display when the panel is tilted.

• The remote controller may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.

• In extremely cold weather, the display movement may slow down and the display may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature increases.

• Small black and shiny spots inside the LCD panel are normal for LCD products.

• The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it opens or closes, when the engine stops or when it is cold.

• The touchkeys on the display operate when slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey screen with much force.

• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey panel with much force. This may cause malfunctioning of the touchkeys.

• Cleaning the LCD panel

The LCD panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.

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.

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 long distances (AF switching). Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type information is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic renewal of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of traffic announcement and/or chosen program type from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.

When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.

Listening to an MP3

This unit is a ID3 Tag compatible model. This unit supports the title, artist and album dis-

play of the ID3 Tag versions 1.0 and 1.1. After disc selection, the play mode is automati-

cally engaged.

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 that 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.

Note:

• Some CDs recorded in CD-R or CD-RW mode

may not be usable.

Precautions when creating an MP3 disc

●File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”, the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixedly for file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

2. Files without MP3 data will not play.

●Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1

or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Nor-

mal playback may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and filename can be displayed as the title during MP3 play but the title must be within 31 and 27 single byte al-

phabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and filename, respectively (without including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than specified may cause an incorrect display.

●Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

●Number of files or folders

A total of 255 files and folders are allowed.

1. (However, the maximum number of folders must be within 254.) When the number of files and folders is more than 256, playback of tracks in excess of that number is impossible.

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.)

• Some noise may occur depending on the

type of encoder software used while recording.

• Files created using LAME (Lame Aint MP3

Encoder) may not be played properly.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (vari-

able bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time.

Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 64 kbps to 320 kbps.

• Depending on the damage conditions of a

file, it may occur that the file is not played and the next file is played instead.

Also, if the damage is in a severe condition, play stops showing the “DISC ER- ROR” display.

After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.

Note:

• If ID3 Tag information was entered with 2-byte

characters, it may occur that the characters are not reproduced properly on the display.

Pausing playback

1. Press the [s] button during playbac k. Playback pauses.

About DAB programmes

The Digital Audio Broadcasting (hereinafter referred to as “DAB”) system transmits several programmes on one frequency simultaneously, by compressing audio signals.

∗ The group of programmes, which is

transmitted on a single frequency is called “ensemble”.

∗ Some DAB stations have several ensembles

and broadcast diversified programmes.

∗ The number of programmes and the

contents which an ensemble provides depend on the broadcast stations and times. Since DAB programmes are broadcast on several different frequencies, the same programme can be enjoyed over large areas.

● A DAB station has multiple programmes on one frequency .

● When you turn the unit on and select DAB mode, the programme that starts is the one that was selected before when the power was turned off. If this programme is not available, another programme is selected automatically.

● Programmes have their own names, just like PS on RDS.

Note:

• For sophisticated audio quality, the receiver

needs to tune on a DAB Ensemble. While the receiver is being tuned in to the DAB Ensemble, the Audio outputs are muted. The tuning time is not fixed.
