Operating precautions

● For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be

heard.

● Discs with the logo shown to the left can be played.

● You can play music CDs (CD-R/CD-RW ) on this

player. Be sure to use discs that have been properly processed.

Depending on the editing format and software used,

some discs may not play properly.

● Do not insert anything other than a CD into the main

unit.

Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or

credit cards, into the disc slot.

● Avoid severe mechanical shock.

When the player is subjected to severe vibration

while traveling over a rough surface, playback may be intermittent. When a situation like this occurs, resume playback after returning to a smoother road.

● About dew condensation.

In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass

surface gets fogged, dew (water condensation) may also settle on the main unit. When this occurs, disc playback may become intermittent or impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a while before resuming playback.

● Cleaning the disc slot.

The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally

to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

* Commercially available cleaning discs may not

be used with this main unit.

Notes on operation

Operating precautions

● The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing

touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:

● Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for

very long; the disc may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away from high temperature and humidity.

● Do not adhere of paper or tape on, nor write on

or scratch either side of a disc.

● Discs spin at a high speed inside the main unit.

Keep cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid damaging the main unit.

● Avoid touching the recorded surface when

handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

About compact discs

Operating precautions

About CD accessories

● Do not use accessories

(stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens

cleaners, etc.) sold for ﾒimproving sound performanceﾒ or ﾒprotecting CDs.ﾒ The changes in CD thickness or outside dime n s i o n s m ade by these accessories may cause problems in the player.

About brand new CDs

● You may notice that some brand

new discs are ro u g h 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 main unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

● Please be sure NOT to attach any

ring-shape protector (or other accessory) to your discs. Those prote c tors are comme r c i a lly available and said to protect disc and to improve sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems are disc insertion, disc ejections, and won't play problems due to the protector ring that came off in the disc mechanism.

Operating precautions

About borrowed CDs

● Do not use a CD with glue or

remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get stuck inside or damage the main unit.

How to remove CDs

● When removing the ejected disc,

pull it straight out along the slot. Removing the disc in a downward or upward angle may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

About irregularly-shaped CDs

● Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-

shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.

● Use a commercially available compact disc

cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

● Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or

other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CDﾒs finish.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

How to operate the MP3/WMA/AAC player

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using MP3 a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original. WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are formats for audio compression technology. WMA files can be compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files. AAC is said to have a high rate of compression which is about 1.4 times that for MP3 files with the same audio quality. This main unit has limitations on MP3/WMA/AAC file standards and recorded media and formats that can be used.

How to operate the MP3/MWMA/AAC player

Media capable of playing MP3/WMA/AAC includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CDRW discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Control items for this standard are as follows:

● Maximum directory layers: 8 layers

● Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 128 (including "." and 3

letter file extension)

● Allowable characters for folder names/file names:

A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)

● Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 512

● Maximum folders this main unit can recognize: 512*

*: A root directory is counted as one folder.

[Configuration example for CD supporting MP3/WMA/AAC]

Number of files possible on a single disc is 512. Fil e s asi d e fro m M P3/W M A/ A AC f iles (Example: 004.txt) also count as single files.

Media

Format of discs

How to operate the MP3/MWMA/AAC player

Only files with the MP3/WMA/AAC file extension ".mp3", ".wma" , ".m4a" can be recognized as MP3/WMA/AAC and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension. Be sure to WMA files with the ".wma" file extension. Be sure to save AAC files with the ".m4a" file extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.

Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3/WMA/AAC files is possible. However, if files have been written onto a disc using "Track at once", close the session or perform the finalization process. Standardize the format so that it does not change with each session.

When a disc with recorded MP3/WMA/AAC files is inserted, the main unit first checks all the files on the disc. No sound is output while the main unit is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files other than MP3/WMA/AAC files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the main unit.

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

operated.

Names of MP3/WMA/AAC folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.

1. MP3/WMA/AAC folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

If the ".mp3", ".wma", ".m4a" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3/WMA/AAC file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the main unit as an MP3/WMA/AAC file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3", ".wma", ".m4a" file extension to files that are not MP3/WMA/AAC files.

FM reception characteristics

A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM･s (similar to a ray of light): they won･t bend but they will reflect. Often, they will be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and indirect paths to your vehicle･s antenna. The distance at which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can be received.

In weak signal or "fringe" reception areas, FM stations may fade out completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels, among tall buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. In this case, you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune to a stronger station, or reduce the treble level.

In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory performance.

FM reception differs from AM

Fading out

How to operate the tuner

A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions encountered while driving, including the types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.

The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another problem called multipath･FM wave signals reflecting off of buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the situation.
