IMPORTANT AUDIO
INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Copyright laws vary from

country to country; please
check the laws in your country if you
want to record from copyright source
material.

Due to technical incompatibility,

recordable (CD-R) and
rewritable (CD-RW) discs may not
function correctly.

These CD radio units will play

compact discs that conform to
the International Red Book standard
audio specification. Copy protected
CDs from some manufacturers do
not conform to this standard and
playback cannot be guaranteed.

Dual format, dual sided discs

(DVD Plus, CD-DVD format),
now being adopted by the music
industry, are thicker than normal CDs
and consequently playback cannot
be guaranteed in Ford and Sony CD
audio units, and jamming could
occur.

Warranty claims, where this type

of disc is found to be inside an
audio unit returned for repair, will not
be accepted.

Apart from the 6000MP3

model, CD units are designed
to play commercially pressed 12 cm
audio compact discs only.

The Sony CD unit (but not the

6CD) will play 8 cm discs with a
Sony approved adaptor fitted
(CSA-8).

Irregular shaped CDs and CDs

with a scratch protection film or
self adhesive labels attached should
not be used.

The audio unit may be damaged

if unsuitable items like credit
cards or coins are pushed inside the
CD aperture.

Please contact your Dealer for

further information.

Sony CD/6CD

E66256

This label is located on the top of the
Sony CD/6CD chassis.

E66257

This label is located on the Sony
CD/6CD drive unit's internal chassis.

These units are designed to play
discs that conform to the Compact
Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, some record companies
have marketed various music discs
encoded with copyright protection.

Please be aware that among those
discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may
not be playable by this product.

on the audio CD player.)

• With the Sony CD unit, you can
play MP3 files recorded on
CDROMs, CD-Rs, and CDRWs.

• A CD-R/CD-RW to which a

SETTING THE CLOCK
AND DATE ON THE
AUDIO UNIT

All units, except the 2050, the
5000C, the 6000CD with centrally
located on/off and volume control,
and Sony CD/6CD, have a built in
facility that will receive RDS data for
a current time and date display.
When first switched on, a series of
bars may be displayed until the signal
is received.

In all cases, the time derived from the
signal is exact and in most units it
cannot be altered. Some units,
however, do allow you to set the time
manually.

On certain models, where possible,
adjustments are made as follows:

• Press and hold the MENU button
for approximately two seconds
until the display changes.

• Press the MENU button
repeatedly until a ‘CLK-MAN’ or

‘RDS TIME OFF’ display appears.

• Use the SEEK buttons to select
‘CLK-AUTO’ or ‘RDS TIME ON’.

Note: With ‘CLK-AUTO’ or ‘RDS
TIME ON’ selected, the time will be
set automatically via the RDS function
if an RDS signal is available. In this
case you will not find a time display
to set the time manually.

If you observe after setting ‘RDS
TIME’ to ‘ON’, that the clock is not set
properly, then the radio station
selected does not support RDS clock
setting.

In this case, either select another
radio station which transmits a time
signal or set the clock manually.

Note: If any of these features are
not available in your unit, the relevant
menu options will not be displayed.

DIGITAL SIGNAL
PROCESSING (DSP)

Where available, DSP provides a

environments, which may include
settings like ‘JAZZ’, ‘CONCERT’,

‘CHURCH’, ‘STADIUM’, ‘POP’,
‘CLASSICAL’ or ‘ROCK’.

• Press the DSP button repeatedly

until a DSP display appears.

• Use the volume control or, on
Sony units, the up/down arrow

current occupants of the vehicle.

For example, ‘OPTIMISED ALL’ gives
a conventional stereo environment,
‘OPTIMISED RIGHT’ and ‘OPTIMISED
LEFT’ alter the left/right sound
balance and ‘REAR’ gives rear seat
passengers a reduced level of bass
response for improved comfort.

ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES

Many programmes broadcast on the
FM waveband have a programme
identification (PI) code, which can be
recognised by audio units.

If your radio has AF tuning switched
on and you move from one
transmission area to another, this
facility will search for and switch to a
stronger station signal, if one can be
found.

Under certain conditions, however,
alternative frequency tuning may
temporarily disrupt normal reception.

With ‘AF-ON’ or ‘AF-AUTO’ selected,
the unit continually evaluates signal
strength and, if a better signal
becomes available, the unit will switch
to that alternative. It mutes while it
checks a list of alternative
frequencies and, if necessary, it will
search once across the selected
waveband for a genuine alternative
frequency.

It will restore radio reception when it
finds one or, if one is not found, the
unit will return to the original stored
frequency. On certain units, ‘Not
Found’ will be displayed.

On some units with ‘AF-MAN’
selected, the unit operates in a similar
way to ‘AFAUTO’ or ‘AF-ON’, but only
searches for an alternative frequency
when prompted by pressing a preset
button.

With ‘AF-OFF’ selected, the original
stored frequency remains selected.
In this mode, ‘AF-OFF’ will be
displayed every time the unit is turned
on.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM
(RDS)

Most radio stations on the FM
waveband transmit additional code
in their broadcast signal that allows
receivers equipped with the
necessary decoder to present more
information to the listener. This is
known as the Radio Data System
(RDS).

When this information is available, the
additional features may include the
station name, the station’s
programme identification number,
alternative broadcasting frequencies
and traffic information.

ENHANCED OTHER
NETWORK (RDS-EON)

There is also a feature-enhanced
version known as Radio Data System
– Enhanced Other Networks
(RDS-EON) that provides even more
information such as radio text and
programme type coding.

Note: Certain features may not be
available from all radio stations.

NEWS BROADCASTS

Where available apart from selecting
NEWS as a PTY selection, some
audio units interrupt normal reception
to broadcast news bulletins from
stations on the FM waveband or
RDS-EON linked stations, in the same
way as traffic information is provided.

23

Audio unit menus

During news broadcasts, the display
alternates between the station name
and ‘NEWS’. News interrupts are

function on or off.

PRIORITY PROGRAMME
TYPE (PTY)

Many programmes in the FM
waveband are categorised by the
type of material they broadcast. This
classification takes the form of an
identification number coded into the
broadcast signal.

On designated units, searches can
be based on one of these
classifications so that you can
choose to listen to a particular type
of programme.

MP3 FILE PLAYBACK

6000MP3

When a compact disc is loaded into
the 6000MP3 unit, the display will
show ‘READING’ while the unit scans
the disc. The time this takes will
depend entirely on the number of
tracks, files, folders and sessions on
the disc. ‘AUDIO CD’, ‘MP3 CD’ or

indicate the type of CD the unit
detected.

If the disc is a mixed CD, the unit will

sections but you can switch to MP3
sessions by pressing and holding
either of the folder navigation
buttons.

To return to the audio tracks again,
press and hold either of the folder
navigation buttons.

MP3 navigation

MP3 tracks may be recorded on the
CD in several ways. They can all be
placed in the root directory like a
conventional audio CD, or they can
be placed in folders that may
represent, for example, an album, an
artist, or a genre. Folders may even
be nested within other folders.

To cater for the latter requirement,
the 6000MP3 unit has two additional
buttons. Each has the folder legend
(as in the Windows PC environment)
and a direction arrow engraved on
the face of it.

37

Compact disc player

When one of these buttons is
pressed and released, the first track
in the next or previous folder will be
selected and played. The SEEK
button (described above) can be
used to move between tracks in the
folder.

The normal playing sequence on CDs
with multiple folders is to play the
tracks in the first folder, then the
tracks in any folder nested inside the
first folder, then the second folder,
and so forth.

Note: The unit will always play MP3
tracks in alphabetical order. If you
record your own MP3 discs, and
want to dictate a specific order of
play, you must ensure that each track
filename starts with a number, e.g.
001-sunshine-ladyb.mp3, 002­augustsong-robert.mp3, etc. The unit
will still play in alphabetic sequence
but the number will ensure that 001
is played before 002, and so forth.

Fast Trak selection

On the 6000MP3 unit, preset button
1 has an additional function when
MP3 discs are being played. This
allows you to step rapidly through the
folders and tracks on the disc.

• Press button 1. ‘FASTTRAK’
appears in the display.

• Use the volume control to step
through the tracks and folders by
number until you find the song
you want.

• Cancel the operation by pressing
button 1 again or allow the
operation to time out normally.

Note: When you use this method,
only the folder and track numbers are
displayed, i.e. F1 T4 followed by F1
T5, etc. To locate the track you want,
you will need to know what folder it
is in, and what track number it has.

Sony CD

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a
standard technology and format for
compressing audio data. This allows
a more efficient use of the media.

You can play MP3 files recorded on
CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The
disc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1
or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo
in the expansion format. You can also
use a disc recorded in Multi Session.

ISO 9660 format

This is the most common
international standard for the logical
format of files and folders on a
CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels.
In Level 1, file names must be in the

8.3 format (no more than 8
characters in the name, no more
than 3 characters in the extension
“.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than
8 characters. There can be no more
than 8 folder levels (trees). Level 2
specifications allow file names up to
31 characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

38

Compact disc player

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion
format, please consider these
restrictions when configuring your
CD writing software.

Multi session

This is a recording method that
enables adding of data using the
Track-At-Once method.

Conventional CDs begin at a CD
control area called the Lead-in and
end at an area called Lead-out. A
Multi Session CD is a CD having
multiple sessions, with each segment
from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded
as a single session.

• CD-Extra: The format that records
audio (audio CD data) as tracks
on session 1, and records data as
tracks on session 2.

• Mixed CD: In this format, data is
recorded as track 1, and audio
(audio CD data) is recorded as
track 2.

File formats

• With formats other than ISO 9660
level 1 and level 2, folder names
or file names may not be
displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the
file extension “.MP3” to the file
name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to
a file other than MP3, the unit
cannot recognize the file properly
and will generate random noise
that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer
time to start playback.

• a disc recorded with

complicated tree structure.

• a disc recorded in Multi

Session.

• a non-finalised disc to which

data can be added.

Playing a multi session disc

When the first track of the first
session is audio CD data

Only audio CD data of the first
session is played back. Non-audio
CD data/MP3 file information (track
number, time, etc.) is displayed with
no sound.

When the first track of the first
session is not audio CD data

• If an MP3 file is in the disc, only
MP3 file(s) play back and other
data is skipped. (Audio CD data is
not recognised.)

• If no MP3 file is in the disc, nothing
is played back. (Audio CD data is
not recognised.)

MP3 files playback order

The playback order of the folders and
files is as shown.

Note: A folder that does not include
an MP3 file is skipped.

39

Compact disc player

Playback tip: To specify a desired

playback order, before the folder or
file name, input the order by number
(e.g., “01,” “02”), then record
contents onto a disc. (The order
differs depending on the writing
software.)

E66143

ID3 Tag Version 2

The following occurs when an MP3
file containing ID3 tag ver.2 is played:

• When skipping a portion of ID3 tag
ver.2 (at the beginning of the
track), sound is not output. Skip
time changes depending ID3 tag
ver.2 capacity. Example: At 64
kbytes, it is about 2 seconds (with
RealJukebox).

• The displayed elapsed playing
time when skipping a portion of
ID3 tag ver.2 is inaccurate. For
MP3 files of a bit rate other than
128 kbps, time is not displayed
accurately during playback.

• When an MP3 file is created with
MP3 conversion software (e.g.
RealJukebox - a registered
trademark of RealNetworks Inc),
ID3 ver.2 will automatically be
written.

MP3 navigation

MP3 tracks may be recorded on the
CD in several ways. They can all be
placed in the root directory like a
conventional audio CD, or they can
be placed in folders that may
represent, for example, an album, an
artist, or a genre.

The normal playing sequence on CDs
with multiple folders is to play the
tracks in the first folder, then the
tracks in any folder(s) nested inside
the first folder, then move onto the
second folder, and so forth. For
example, if folder 1 has folders 1a and
1b within it, and folder 2 contains
folder 2a, the playing sequence will
be folder 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a.

AUDIO UNIT

Cassette care

The tape head in the cassette player
needs to be cleaned regularly with a
recommended ‘wet’ cleaning tape
to maintain the best sound quality.

Use high quality cassettes to improve
sound performance and take good
care of them. Avoid those that:

• are old, worn out, or spliced.

• are damaged or have a peeling

label.

• have a total playback time
exceeding 100 minutes. These
use thinner tape that increases
the chance of tangling.

CD care

For best possible sound quality, use
CDs that are clean and in good
condition.
