Introduction

Before using the main unit

• Be very careful and pay full attention to safety when operating the audio controls while driving, otherwise accidents may occur. Also be sure to set volume so that you can still adequately hear sounds outside the vehicle. Improper use can contribute to a traffic accident.

• Never continue to use the system if it is malfunctioning in any way. If smoke, abnormal noises or abnormal odors are noticed, turn off the power immediately. Immediately turn off audio in such situations.

• Exercise caution as to the temperature inside the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehicle can increase during hot weather. Wait for the temperature inside the vehicle to drop before using the unit. Damage could result.

• Do not disassemble or modify the main unit. The main unit has a precisely designed structure, so consult your retailer in the event of any unsatisfactory performance.

• Do not apply excessive force to the monitor. Damage could result.

• Do not place items such as cups or cans on top of the monitor, and do not leave the monitor tilted down when not in use. Damage could result.

• Do not insert any objects other than discs into the disc slot. Damage could result.

• Be careful not to get fingers or other objects behind monitor when it is being retracted into place. Interference can cause an injury or damage the main unit.

Introduction

• When removing a disc from the main unit, remove it in the horizontally level direction. Do not pull them up forcibly or press down on them strongly while removing them. Improper removal can scratch the disc, cause the main unit to make noise or result in other damage.

Introduction

Before using the main unit

About discs

• Water droplets can form on the inside of the main unit during cold or rainy weather in the same way car windows can fog up. (This is condensation.) When this happens, the audio can jump and playback can stop, so ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a short time before operating the equipment.

• To safeguard the components of the player, the unit will automatically stop when a malfunction occurs. The player will not operate even when messages displayed on the screen are followed, consult with your equipment retailer because it is possible that the unit has been damaged.

• It is possible that the sound will skip if the vehicle experiences violent motion on rough roads.

About playable discs

• An audio disc or DVD video disc bearing one of the marks below can be played. When using DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) and DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) discs, note that only those whose contents were recorded in the video mode can be played. Discs whose contents were recorded in the video recording (VR) mode cannot be played.

TEXT

• Discs that are compatible with Dolby Digital and bear the indication below can be used.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories, Inc. "Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

• It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc will not play on the main unit due to the circumstances of the recording, special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. In addition, a CD-R or CD-RW disc written with CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format that has not been finalized will not play on the main unit.

• It is possible that a DVD-R/RW (DVD-Recordable/ReWritable) or DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ReWritable) disc will not play on the main unit due to the circumstances of the recording, special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW discs that have not been finalized will not play on the main unit. It may not be possible to play a disc that has been recorded on a personal computer, depending on the application setting and the environment.

• The CD-TEXT function can be used only with the CD-TEXT-compatible compact discs available on the market. If it is used with CD-R or CD-RW discs, characters may not be displayed normally.

• Do not use discs with transparent or semi-transparent portions within the recording area, or C-thru discs, since they may not be accepted and ejected properly and may not play properly.

About handling discs

• Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.

• Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording side or label side of a disc. Damage could result.

• Do not use discs on which there are cracks or large warps. Damage could result.

• Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it. (This is the side with the rainbow-colored reflection.) The disc may become dirty and that could cause the sound to skip.

Introduction

Rough Edges

Ballpoint pen

• Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc and cause the sound to skip. Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.

About new discs

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

Introduction

Before using the main unit

About rental discs

Cellophane tape

Recorded surface

• Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental CD discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the residue of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those conditions can prevent the player from properly opening and closing as well as cause other damage.

About specially shaped discs

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

• Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.

About disc 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.

CD ring

• 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 discs and to improve sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems are Insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring that may have come off in the disc mechanism.

About TV

• When connection with the battery is cut due to changing it, changing fuses, etc.,all preset channels will be erased.

• It may be difficult for the TV to maintain optimal reception due to variation insignal strength or interference from other objects. The main causes of interference are listed below.

• Visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to overhead train wires, high-tension wires, traffic signals, neon signs, etc.

·Depending on the signal, buildings and mountains may adversely affect recep-

tion.

·Visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to radio broadcasting

or ham radio antennas.

·Signal reception will become extremely weak when driving through a tunnel.

·Signal reception will become weak when traveling at a great distance from the

broadcasting station.

·In some areas, visual or audio static may result when in close proximity to TV or

radio towers. This is due to the influence of electro-magnetic waves outside of the reception range.

About the LCD panel

• The LCD panel can appear to be white or black when seen from certain angles.

• The screen will be difficult to read when external light such as sunlight falls on the display.

About AUTO.P

Because AUTO.P temporarily saves stations for the preset switches, stations saved manually will remain in memory even if AUTO.P is used. By manually saving stations that are used regularly, these manually saved stations can be restored even after AUTO.P has been used, such as after traveling.

Touching while AUTO.P is being used or after AUTO.P has been used will return the preset memories back to the condition they had before AUTO.P was used. (Doing so will delete the stations saved with AUTO.P.) The flow for switching from AUTO.P to manual is shown below.

• Due to conditions for receiving radio waves, saved stations may differ even when the AUTO.P switch is operated repeatedly in the same location.

• Up to six stations having good reception sensitivity are automatically saved in order starting from the lowest frequency.

• When less than six stations capable of reception are found, nothing is saved for the remaining preset switches.

About MP3/WMA

MP3 (MPEG-1 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 compress files to a smaller size than MP3 can.

This unit has limitations on MP3/WMA file standards and recorded media and formats that can be used. Be aware of the following points when recording MP3/WMA files.

• Supported standards : MPEG-1 Audio Layer III

• Supported sampling frequencies : 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

ID3tag/WMAtag

MP3 and WMA files have an "ID3tag/WMAtag" that allows input of text information so that data such as song title and artist can be saved.

This unit supports ID3v.1.0 and ID3v.1.1 tags. Use only ASCII code to record tags, since only ASCII code is supported by this equipment. Recording of characters not included in ASCII code will result in display of garbled characters.

This unit supports the WMA tag (v1.20.02). Since the WMA tag supports unicode only, please input the information with unicode characters.

Media

Media capable of playing MP3/WMA includes CD-ROM, 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/CD-RW may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback.

Sections of CD-R/CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time.

It is also recommended that CD-R/CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

• Disc format : CD-ROM (MODE 1), CD-ROM XA (MODE2 Form1)

• File format : ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2 ROMEO system, JOLIET system

MP3/WMA files recorded in a format other than the one explained above may result in files that cannot be played normally and in file names and folder names that do not display properly.

Limitations in addition to standards are as follows.

• Maximum directory layers : 8 layers

• Maximum characters for folder names/file names : 30 characters for MP3 (including delimiter "." + file extension 3 characters) 15 characters for WMA (including delimiter "." + file extension 3 characters)

• Allowable characters for folder names/file names : A to Z, 0 to 9, _ (underscore)

• Number of files possible on a single disc : 512

• Number of folders possible on a single disc : 255

001.MP3

002.MP3

003.MP3

004.WMA

005.MP3

512.MP3

A total of 512 files can be created within a single disc.

Folder2

How to operate the MP3/WMA player

How to use 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/WMA files with the ".mp3/.wma" file extension.

Use half-width English capital letters to write "MP" or "WMA" of the extension.

Multi-sessions

Multisessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3/WMA files can be played. When written with "Track at once", however, finalize the disc with session close or write protect.

Playing MP3/WMA

When a disc having MP3/WMA files recorded on it is inserted into the main unit, the system first checks all the files on the disc. If the number of files and folders is large, the check will take some time.

While the system is checking the disc, the music that had been playing continues to play.

In order to speed up completion of the file check, it is recommended that you avoid recording files that are not MP3/WMA files and avoid establishing unnecessary folders.

In addition, it is recommended that you record all data in a single session because a multisession disc takes time for CD control information acquisition.

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 files displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

2. Folders displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, 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 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.

Making and playing MP3/WMA files

MP3/WMA files created by recording broadcasts, records, audio recordings, video recordings or live performances cannot be used for purposes other than personal entertainment without permission of the copyright holder as set forth in copyright law.

Downloading from Internet MP3/WMA music sites

There are many kinds of sites that distribute MP3/WMA files on the Internet, such as "pay per download" online shopping sites, "try before you buy" listening sites and free download sites. Follow the rules for each site (such as paying fees) and download according to site instructions.

Converting CD music to MP3/WMA files

Prepare a computer with commercially available MP3/WMA encoding software (conversion software). (Some encoding programs available on the Internet do not require payment.) Music data files in MP3/WMA format can be made by inserting the music CD into the CDROM drive of the computer and following the procedures of the MP3/WMA encoding software to compress the songs of the music CD. A 12cm music CD (having a maximum of 74 minutes of recording/650MB of data) can be compressed to 65MB (about 1/10 of the original size).

Writing to CD-R/CD-RW

MP3/WMA files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a computer. Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (not including extension format).

Select CD-ROM ( mode1 ) or CD-ROM XA ( mode2 ) for the disk format.

MP3/WMA

When playing back CD-R/RW

Insert a CD-R/RW disc having recorded MP3/WMA files. The system will automatically determine whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3/WMA files and begin playing the disc. A music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However, depending on the type of disc being used, a disc may not play.

• A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended for obtaining stable audio quality at playback.

• Depending on the characteristics of a disc, CD-R and CD-RW may not be able to read the disc.

• Because there are many types of MP3/WMA encoding software available, including commercial and freeware programs, audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play, depending on the condition of the encoder and the file format.

• When files other than MP3/WMA files are recorded on a disc, the system may take some time to recognize the disc and it may not play the disc.
