Introduction
Operating precautions
<Your CD3100 will perform well over a long period of time through correct handling and care.>
Notes on operation
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.
• We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown to
the left.
• 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 main unit used, some discs may not play
TEXT
properly.
• Do not insert anything other than a CD into the head unit.
Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or credit cards, into
the disc slot. Be especially watchful of children’s mischief in this
regard.
12
• 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.

About CD 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.
• Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or other
accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are commercially 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.
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.

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.

About cleaning a CD
• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD,
wiping gently from the center to the edge.

About MP3/WMA
ATTENTION
The making of MP3/WMA files by recording from sources such as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and
live performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is
prohibited.
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3/WMA (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using
MP3/WMA a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.
WMA (Windows Media
compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files.
This main unit has limitations on MP3/WMA file standards and recorded media and formats that can
be used.

ID3/WMA tag
MP3/WMA files have an "ID3 / WMA Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song
title and artist can be saved.
This main unit supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1 and WMA tags.
21
Operation
Media
Media capable of playing MP3/WMA includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM
media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW 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.
Format of discs
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: 32 (including "." and 3 letter file extension)
• Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)
•
Number of files possible on a single disc: 256

F191
• Total number of folders possible on a single disc:191
• Maximum folders this main unit can recognize: 192*
*: A root directory is counted as one folder.
File names
Only files with the MP3/WMA file extension ".mp3", ".wma" can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played.
Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension. Be sure to WMA files with the ".wma" file
extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters
or lowercase letters.
CAUTION
If the ".mp3", ".wma" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3/WMA file, that file will be
mistakenly recognized by the main unit as an MP3/WMA file and played, resulting in loud noise
output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3", ".wma" file extension
to files that are not MP3/WMA files.

How to operate the CD/MP3/WMA player
Multi-sessions
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3/WMA
files is possible. However, when "Track at once" has been written, close the session or process the
warning message. Standardize the format of each session without changing the format.
Playing MP3/WMA
When a disc with recorded MP3/WMA 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 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of
disc files by the main unit.
MP3/WMA playing time display
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3/
WMA file.
*It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.
Display order of MP3/WMA file/folder names
Names of MP3/WMA folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.
1.MP3/WMA folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
