7. MP3 PLA YBACK ON CD-R DISCS
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method. This audio compression method has become a standard format with many PC
users. MP3 allows the original digital audio data to be
compressed to about 10 percent of its initial file size while still
retaining high sound quality. This means that about 10 music
CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc, thus allowing longer
listening time without having to change CDs.

To move to the next file or the previous file, use the [ ] and
[ ] buttons.
Notes:
• The VS735 cannot play back a disc recorded on a CD-RW unit.
• Some CDs recorded in CD-R mode may not be usable.
• Files without MP3 data will not play.
MP3 Playback
When a disc with MP3 files is inserted, the SMART NAVI
screen will appear. Each folder and file will be shown (the
order may be slightly different than that on your PC). Navigate
the files and folders using the navigation arrow keys, and
select a file or folder to be played by using the [ENTER]
button.
16 VS735
To fast-forward or fast-reverse within a file, use the [ ] and
[ ] buttons.
Three repeat modes are available for MP3 use:
• NO REPEAT
• REP – ONE repeats the current file
• FOLDER REP repeats the current folder
To conceal the SMART NAVI screen, see section 9 “Setup.”
Precautions When Creating an MP3 Disc
Supported MP3 File Formats
• ISO9660, level 1 and level 2 (the most common type of
MP3 format)
• Joliet (a version of ISO9660 that supports longer
filenames)
• Romeo (a format used by some CD-creating software)
File Extensions
Always add a file extension “ .MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file
by using single-byte letters. If you add a different file extension, 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) mixed together for
file extensions, normal play may not be possible.
File and Folder Structure
The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title
during MP3 play. However, the title must be within 31 and 27
single-byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder
name and file name, respectively (not including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than specified may
cause an incorrect display.
A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will
conflict with MP3 system requirements and playback will be
impossible.
A total of 255 files and folders are allowed. When the number
of files and folders is more than 255, playback of tracks in
excess of that number is impossible. There is a maximum of
31 files in each folder. File tracks are played in the order that
they were recorded onto a disc. (Files might not always be
played in the order displayed on the PC.)
Sound Quality
Some noise might be audible—this depends on the type of
encoder software used while recording. It is not noise created
by the VS735.
Bit Rates
The VS735 supports the following bit rates: 32kHz, 44.1kHz,
48kHz, and 96kHz. In case of a track recorded at VBR
(variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may
be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value for VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320 kbps.
ID3V1 and ID3V2 Tags Support
Both ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags are supported. These allow up to
30 characters per song name and 30 characters per artist
name.

If a hook on the installation bracket interferes with the unit, bend and flatten it with
a nipper or similar tool.
Installing into a Universal Bracket Mount in an Alternative
Location (to the floor under a seat or below a package tray)
If installation of the DVD player in an in-dash location is
impossible or undesirable, it can be installed in alternative
locations with the supplied mounting brackets.
1 Determine if you will be floor mounting the unit, or mount-
ing it under a panel. Attach the brackets in the appropriate
direction. Use flat-head machine screws (M5x5) to attach
the brackets to the unit on both sides.
2 Position the unit in place, and secure it with hexagon
washer-head tapping screws (M5x18).
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the
screws on uneven surfaces! This can cause damage to the VS735. If an even
mounting surface cannot be
found, fabricate a flat panel,
mount the VS735 to it, and
mount that panel to the vehicle.
Always use great care
when attaching anything
to a vehicle! Visually
inspect all sides of any
potential screw location,
to insure no damage will
occur. If you have questions about this process,
see your authorized
Clarion dealer.
WARNING!

VS735 configurations.
Read the following precautions before wiring your system.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making
any wiring connections.
• Be particularly careful where you route wires. Keep them
away from the engine, exhaust system, etc. Heat may
damage wires.
• If the fuse should blow, make sure all connections are
correct and no wires are damaged before replacing the
fuse. Always use fuses that are the same amperage value
as the original. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery
side touch any metal part or any other wire.

Selecting Mono Audio Output Mode
For a mono audio output mode, select AUDIO and DUAL
MONO. The three settings are: Channel 1 on both outputs,
Channel 2 on both outputs, and both channels mixed on both
outputs.
Note:
• Use this setting in installations that lack true stereo imaging
opportunities, such as single-speaker installations, or public areas
such as buses. If a stereo headphone system is connected, do not
select a mono output mode — this will defeat the stereo headphone
effect.

Special Installer Output Adjustments
The VS735 also has four output adjustments not contained in
the standard menus. These settings are for color, contrast,
brightness, and audio output level. Since these functions are
usually built into the video monitors and system control units
used elsewhere in the system, the installer output adjustments
are only intended to assist the installer in properly matching
various components.
Note:
• Although the audio output level is labeled “VOL” on the on-screen
display, it is important to remember that this adjustment is not a true
volume control, since it is not accessible to the user unless the disc
is in STOP mode. Do not use the VS735 in systems where this
adjustment is the sole system volume control.
To access these adjustments:
1 Insert a DVD, Video CD, or audio CD (these adjustments
are not accessible with MP3 discs loaded).
2 After the disc loads and begins playing, press the [ ]
button.
3 Press the [ANGLE] button. The color setting (COL) will
appear. Press the [ANGLE] button again to step to CON
(contrast), BRI (brightness), and audio output level (VOL).
Each of the settings is adjustable in steps from 0 to 16.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to change the value of these
settings.
Note:
• In order to keep the video output levels within acceptable limits, the
contrast setting value and the brightness setting value can be set to a
combined total of 29. For example, if contrast is set to 16 and
brightness is set 13, the total is then 29, and you have reached the
system maximum. You will be unable to increase the brightness
above 13 until the contrast value is lowered by a corresponding
amount.
