Operating precautions

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 equipment used, some discs

may not play properly.

● Do not insert anything other than a CD and a Memory Stick into the head unit.

ATE

TICK

EMORY

AGIC

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 deck. When this occurs, disc playback may become intermittent or impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a while before resuming playback.

The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

● With the front panel open, many functions will not operate, therefore, the front panel will need to be closed during operation.

About compact discs

● 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 stick a piece of paper or tape. 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 it.

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

Operating precautions

About brand new CDs

● 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 deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

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 ringshape 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.

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 deck.

How to remove CDs

● When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot. Pressing downward in the process may scratch the recorded surface of the disc.

About irregularly-shaped CDs

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

ESN security operating procedure

About ESN

This deck is equipped with ESN (ECLIPSE Security Network). A preregistered music CD (Key CD), four-digit security code, or a Memory Stick on which all unit functions will not operate, even by turning the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position or reconnecting the battery after turning the ignition switch off or disconnecting the battery during maintenance.

ESN can be set or cancelled using any of the following methods:

• Key CD security (See page 26)

You can record a specific CD that you have as a "key CD" with the deck, and this CD can then be used to set and cancel the security settings.

• Memory Stick security (See page 30)

You can record a Memory Stick and a secret code (security code) with the deck, and this Memory Stick or secret code (security code) can then be matched with the deck to set and cancel the security settings.

• ACC security (See page 38)

This method can only be used when Memory Stick security has already been set. When ACC security is set, button operations are disabled when the ignition switch is turned to OFF and then back to ACC.

About MP3/WMA

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 (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 Media technology. WMA files can be compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files. This deck has limitations on MP3/WMA file standards and recorded media and formats that can be used.

Playable MP3 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 bit rate: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320 (kbps)

* 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.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player

ID3/WMA tags

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 deck supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1 and WMA tags.

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.

How to operate the MP3/WMA player

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

●

Allowable characters for folder names/file names:

How to operate the MP3/WMA player

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" or "WMA" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.

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 deck 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.

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 deck first checks all the files on the disc. No sound is output while the deck 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 deck.

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.

Recording on Memory Stick

Using ATRAC3 audio compression technology, this deck compresses the music data played on the built-in CD player, radio, external CD changer and other external inputs (such as portable players), and records the data on the MG Memory Stick.

CDs being played on the deck can be recorded to a memory stick as digital data. Music from the radio, CD changers, external inputs (such as portable players) is to a memory stick in analog. MP3/WMA files cannot be recorded.

As this deck supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), MG Memory Stick recording from media (such as CD-R and CD-RW) digitally recorded from music CDs is not possible. Recording data of copy-proof music CDs is not possible either.

● Unrecorded contents, deleted music and vocal data caused by

problems, malfunctions and defects of this deck will not be warranted.

●

Use of your recordings other than for the personal entertainment is strictly prohibited by the copyright law without permission from the copyright holder.

● Unreprodusable recordings should be test recorded first in

order to ensure all music and vocal data are recorded properly.

● Do not turn ON/OFF the power this deck or ignition switch while

recording. The recording will be interrupted and the data may

be damaged.
