Introduction

Operating precautions

Notes on operation

• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.

• It is recommended to use the logo shown on the left for this player.

• 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 properly.

TEXT

• Do not insert anything other than a CD into this main 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.

• 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.

Operation

How to operate the CD (MP3/WMA) player

About compact discs

• The information 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 stick a piece of paper or tape on the disc. Do not write on or scratch either side of a disc.

• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid damage to the main unit.

About brand new CDs

Rough Edges

Ballpoint pen

Rough Edges

Flakes

Recorded surface

• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

• 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 main unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

How to operate the CD (MP3/WMA) player

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. Pressing downward or lifting upward when removing a disc may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

OKAY

GOOD

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.

XXXX

• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CD’s finish.

Operation

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.

Playable MP3/WMA file standards

• Supported standards:MPEG-1 Audio Layer III

• Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320 (kbps)

• Supported channel modes: stereo

Audio) is format for audio compression technology. WMA files can be

* Supports VBR. (64~320kbps) * Does not support free format.

Playable WMA file standards

• Supported standards: WMA Ver. 7

• Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

WMA Ver. 8 WMA Ver. 9

*Supports VBR (48~192 kbps). *Does not support lossless compression. *Does not support WMA files recorded at a frequency of 48kHz with a bit rate of 48kbps.

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.

How to operate the CD (MP3/WMA) player

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 are 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:

•

Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 999

• Total number of folders possible on a single disc:255

• Maximum folders this main unit can recognize: 256* *: A root directory is counted as one folder.

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

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 this 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.

Operation

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.

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