About discs

Water droplets (condensation) can form on the inside of the unit during cold or rainy weather in the same way car windows can fog up. When this happens, the audio can jump and playback can stop, so ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a short time before operating the equipment.
To safeguard the components of the player, the unit will automatically stop when a malfunction occurs. If the player will not operate even when messages displayed on the screen are followed, it is possible that the unit has been damaged. Contact the store of purchase.
It is possible that the sound will skip if the vehicle experiences violent motion on rough roads.

About supported disc types

An audio or DVD video disc bearing one of the marks shown below can be played. Only DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) and DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) discs recorded in Video mode can be played. Discs recorded in Video mode (VR) cannot be played.
Supports Dolby Digital. Discs bearing the following mark can be used.
Introduction
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Dolby and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc will not play on the unit due to special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. In addition, an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc written in CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format will not play on the unit.
It is possible that a DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) or DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) disc will not play on the unit due to special disc characteristics, scratches, or dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. In addition, an unfinalized DVD-R or DVD-RW disc will not play on the unit. It is possible that discs recorded using a computer may not play on the unit depending on the environment and/or settings of applications.
The CD-TEXT function requires commercially available CDs which support CD-TEXT. It is possible that characters in CD-R and CD-RW data may not be displayed correctly.
Do not use discs with transparent or semi-transparent portions within the recording area, or C-thru discs, since they may not be accepted and ejected properly and may not play properly.

Before using the deck
Super Audio CDs can only be played in the hybrid disc layer.
CCCDs (Copy Control CD) do not conform to official CD standards and so are not supported.
CD-EXTRA discs can be played as audio CDs.
Voice tracks on Mixed Mode CDs cannot be played. Only
music tracks will be played.
Video-CDs cannot be played.

About handling discs

Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.
Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording side or label side of a disc. Otherwise damage may occur.
20
Do not use discs on which there are cracks or large warps. Otherwise damage may occur.
Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it. (Iridescent side of the CD) The disc may become dirty causing jumping to occur.
Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc and result in sound jumping. Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean the CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

Rough Edges
Ballpoint pen

About new discs

You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

About rental discs

Introduction
Recorded surface
Flakes
CD stabilizer ring
Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental CD discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the residue of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those conditions can prevent the player from properly opening and closing as well as cause other damage.

About specially shaped discs

Specially-shaped CDs cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.
Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.

About disc accessories

Do not use accessories (stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound performance" or "protecting CDs." The changes in CD thickness or outside dimensions made by these accessories may cause problems in the player.
Do NOT attach any ring-shape protector (or other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are commercially available and said to protect discs and to improve sound quality (and anti vibration effect), but they can do more harm than good during regular use. The most common problems are insert/eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring coming off in the disc mechanism.

About MP3s

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using MP3, a file can be compressed to one-tenth its original size.
This unit has limitations on MP3 file standards and the recorded media and formats that can be used. Be aware of the following points when recording MP3 files.

Playable MP3 file standards

Supported standards : MPEG1 Audio Layer III
Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)
Supported bit rates : 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320 (kbps)
* Supports VBR.
* Does not support free format.
* Bit rates vary for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
Supported channel modes : stereo

ID3 tags

MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as track title and artist can be saved.
This unit supports ID3v. 1. 0 and ID3v. 1. 1 tags. Use only ASCII code to record tags, since only ASCII code is supported by this deck. Recording of characters not included in ASCII code will result in display of garbled characters.
MP3

Media

Media capable of playing MP3 include CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and sections of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping.
Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time.
It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
Use 128kbps or lower for the MP3 bit rate. If the bit rate exceeds 128kbps, there may be sound jumping during MP3 playback.
57
Page 59
How to operate the MP3 player
How to use the MP3 player

Format of discs

The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Also, be sure to record in "MODE 1". Discs recorded in "MODE 2" are not supported.
MP3 files recorded in formats other than those outlined above may result in files that cannot be played normally and file names and folder names that do not display properly.
The following additional limitations apply:
Maximum directory layers : 8 levels
Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 31 (including "." and the 3 letters of the
file extension)
Allowable characters for folder names/file names : A-Z, 0-9, _ (underscore), all ASCII characters
Number of files/folders possible in a single folder : 512*
* Each file is counted as one file, even if it is not an MP3 file (i. e. files with extensions other
than ".MP3").

58
Page 60

File names

Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" will be recognized as MP3 and played in the unit. Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension.
Use capital letters for "MP".

Multi-sessions

Multi sessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3 files can be played. When recording using "Track at once", however, finalize the disc with session close or write protect.

Playing MP3

When a disc containing an MP3 file is inserted, all files on the disc will be checked before playback can begin. The check will be completed within approximately 10 seconds of the disc being inserted, and the first MP3 file will begin playing. If the check is not completed within this period, the music or audio previously being played will resume. MP3 playback can be started by touching .
Sound is not emitted from the system while it is checking the files on the disc.
In order to speed up completion of the file check, it is recommended that you avoid recording files that are not MP3 files and avoid creating unnecessary folders.
In addition, it is recommended that you record all data in a single session because a multi session disc takes time for CD control information acquisition.
While an MP3 is being played, navigation operation will become slower. This is not a malfunction of the system.
MP3
MP3

MP3 playing time display

It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3 file.
* It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.

Display order of MP3 file/folder names

Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.
1. MP3 files displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
2. Folders displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the unit as an MP3 file and played, resulting in noise and static that can damage the speakers. Do not attach the ".mp3" extension to any non-MP3 files.

How to use the MP3 player

Making and playing MP3 files

MP3 files created by recording broadcasts, records, audio recordings, video recordings or live performances cannot be used for purposes other than personal entertainment without permission of the copyright holder as set forth in copyright law.

Downloading from Internet MP3 music sites

There are many kinds of sites that distribute MP3 files on the Internet, such as "pay per download" online shopping sites, "try before you buy" listening sites and free download sites. Follow the rules for each site (such as paying fees) and download according to site instructions.

Converting CD music to MP3 files

Prepare a computer with commercially available MP3 encoding software (conversion software). (Some encoding programs available on the Internet do not require payment.) Music data files in MP3 format can be made by inserting the music CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer and following the procedures of the MP3 encoding software to compress the songs of the music CD. A 12cm music CD (having a maximum of 74 minutes of recording/650MB of data) can be compressed to 65MB (about 1/10 of the original size).

When writing to CD-R/RW

MP3 files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a computer. Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (not including extension format).
Select CD-ROM (mode 1) for the disc format. Discs recorded with CD-ROM xA (mode 2) cannot be played on this deck.

When playing back CD-R/RW

Insert a CD-R/RW containing recorded MP3 files. The system will automatically determine whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3 files and begin playing the disc. A music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However, depending on the type of disc being used, playback may not be possible.
A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended for obtaining stable audio quality at playback.
Depending on the characteristics of a disc, the system may not be able to read CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Because there are many types of MP3 encoding software available, including commercial and freeware programs, audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play, depending on the condition of the encoder and the file format.
When files other than MP3 files are recorded on a disc, the system may take some time to recognize the disc or it may not play.

How to operate MUSIC JUKE

1. Before using MUSIC JUKE

Description of MUSIC JUKE

MUSIC JUKE can record music or audio from a CD, radio etc. Using ATRAC3 audio compression technology. There are two types of recording available, digital and analog. When you digitally record an album from the CD player, "Gracenote CDDB Service" will search for the album name, artist name and genre and automatically create a list (playlist) displaying the relevant data. Recording from any other source is done in analog and a playlist is created for the recorded source/date recorded.
*...When the relevant name cannot be found, a playlist will be created in the same way as
analog recording.

About the structure of MUSIC JUKE

In MUSIC JUKE, music/audio is recorded into 6 different play modes and then stored into playlists created in each play mode for managing your data. Being able to narrow down from play modes and playlists before searching for the music you want to listen to makes the listening experience even more comfortable and rewarding.
