2. PRECAUTIONS

English

WARNING

• For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.

• When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).

• This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system’s suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.

• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when the navigation system displays the vehicle’s location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account the driving conditions at the time.

• Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete listing of emergency services such as police stations, ﬁre halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show discretion and ask for directions in such instances.

• As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident, do not operate the system while driving.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the parking brake is on.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident or trafﬁc offense, remember that actual road conditions and trafﬁc regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.

• The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current trafﬁc conditions and regulations at all times while driving.

• Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation system, abide by the highway regulations.

• Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.

• The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: trafﬁc and highway regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.

• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock.

• Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.

• In case of a problem, such as any material has been entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center. Using it in that condition may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock.

• Use a fuse with the same speciﬁcation only when replacing the fuse. Using a fuse with a different speciﬁcation may causes a ﬁre.

• For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.

LISTENING TO MP3/WMA

This unit is an ID3 Tag compatible model. This unit supports the ID3 TAGs of the Version

2.4, 2.3, 1.1 and 1.0. In displaying, this unit gives priority to the Version 2.3 and 2.4 TAGs. After USB device inserted into USB slot, or disc is loaded, the play mode is automatically engaged.

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classiﬁed into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. WMA is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation. These audio compression methods have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. 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 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 on CD-R/RW mode may

not be usable.

Displaying MP3/WMA TAG titles

Tag information such as title, artist and album

title can be displayed for MP3/WMA ﬁle containing Tag information.

Precautions when creating MP3 disc

•

File extensions

1. Always add a ﬁle extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 ﬁle, and “.WMA” or “.wma” to a WMA ﬁle by using single byte letters. If you add a ﬁle extension other than speciﬁed or forget to add these ﬁle extension, 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 other than MP3/WMA data cannot be played. Playing ﬁles with a format not supported will be skipped, and the scan, random and repeat playback mode may be canceled.

•

File and Disc Not Supported

Files and discs with following extensions are not supported: *.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U, *.PLS, MP3 PRO ﬁles, ﬁles with DRM, open session discs.

•

Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3/WMA ﬁle on a disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Normal playback 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 31 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and ﬁle name (including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than speciﬁed may cause an incorrect display.

•

Entering File and Folder Names

Names using the code list characters are the only ﬁle names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the ﬁle and folder names to be displayed incorrectly.

•

Electronic Shock Protection

26 VX401/VZ401

DVD Video Player Operations

•

Folder structure

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

1. The maximum allowable number of folders is 200 (including root directory); the maximum allowable number of ﬁles is 1500 (max. 1500 per folder). This represents the maximum number of tracks that can be played back.

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).

• Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

• 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 of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320 kbps.

• After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.

Playing MP3 folders

When selected for play, ﬁles and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the media. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA ﬁles are to be played by assigning ﬁle names beginning with play sequence numbers such as “01” to “99”. For example, a medium with the following folder/ ﬁle hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select. See the diagram below.

English

Owner’s Manual

The player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 2, 3, 5, and 7, but not 1 and 6 since they do not contain others.
