Notes on using the system
Operating precautions
• Some functions cannot be used while driving. These functions will appear in lighter color than normal to indicate that they cannot be used.
• For safety, keep the volume at a low enough level so that sounds outside the vehicle can still be heard while driving.
• 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.
• The driver should avoid operating the system as much as possible while driving.
• Do not apply excessive force to the monitor, otherwise it may become damaged.
• 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, otherwise damage may occur.
• Never insert foreign objects such as coins, plastic cards into the disc insertion slot. The only objects that should be inserted into this slot are the appropriate CDs, DVDs, and Memory Sticks. Be particularly careful not to let children interfere with the system.
Be very careful and pay full attention to safety when operating the audio controls while driving, otherwise accidents may occur.
Warning
12
Operating precautions
• Be sure to keep discs and Memory Sticks horizontal when removing them from the unit. Do not pull them up forcibly or press down on them strongly while removing them, otherwise discs may become scratched and the sound may skip, and Memory Sticks may also become damaged.
• The temperature inside the vehicle can increase during hot weather. Wait for the temperature inside the vehicle to drop before using the unit.
• Avoid humid environments. If liquid gets inside the unit or onto it, malfunctions or damage may occur. Be particularly careful of items such as drinks that have been placed in drink holders that are near the unit.
• The components inside of the unit have been assembled with high precision, and they should not be disassembled or modified. If a problem occurs with the unit, contact the place of purchase.
• Clean the unit by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. If it is particularly dirty, use a cloth that is lightly moistened with alcohol.
Operating precautions
13
About discs
• Water droplets can form on the inside of the 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. If 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.
• It is possible that a copy protected CD will not play on the unit.
• It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD­ReWritable) disc will not play on the unit due to special disc characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long storage in the vehicle. In addition, a CD-R or CD­RW disc written with CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format that has not been finalized will not play on the unit.
• An audio disc or DVD video disc bearing one the marks on the left can be played.
TEXT
14
Operating precautions
• Place discs in their protective cases and store in a location out of direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity.
• Do not place adhesive materials on either the recorded side or label side of a disc, and do not write on a disc or scratch it.
• 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.
• Discs spin at high speed inside the unit. Do not use a cracked CD disc because it can cause the disc to damage the CD unit.
• Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it.
• A DVD disc bearing one of the marks at left for Dolby Digital (5.1 ch) or DTS (5.1 ch) *1or can also be played.

8cm CD
8cm CD Adapter
• 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 unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.
• 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 insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring that come off in the disc mechanism.
• 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.
• The unit can play 8 cm CDs without the need for an adapter.
• Do not play back 8 cm CDs with a single adapter attached, as malfunctions may occur if such discs are used.

Operating precautions
About cleaning a disc
• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage a CD's finish.
• The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

About Memory Sticks
Do not store Memory Sticks in places that are subject to static electricity and electrical interference, otherwise the data they contain may become corrupted.
In order to protect the player, the player's functions will be stopped automatically if a problem occurs. If the player cannot be operated even after following the instructions that appear on the screen, the unit is malfunctioning, and you should ask the place of purchase for further advice.
If using a Memory Stick Duo, you will need to use it with a Memory Stick Duo adapter.
Only Memory Sticks with a capacity of up to 128 MB can be used in the unit.
Memory Stick PRO types of Memory Stick cannot be used.
After playing back a MG Memory Stick and after
transferring data to a MG Memory Stick or other Memory Stick, remove the Memory Stick immediately.
MG Memory Sticks bearing one of the marks at the left can be used.
Memory Sticks bearing one of the marks at the left can be used for loading images into the unit and for saving captured images.
If the write protection switch on a MG Memory Stick or Memory Stick is at the lock position, audio recordings and other data cannot be saved onto it.
Do not remove a MG Memory Stick while it is being accessed for playback or recording, otherwise the data on the MG Memory Stick may become corrupted. If the data becomes corrupted, it can no longer be retrieved.
Formatting (initializing) MG Memory Sticks requires special equipment. If a MG Memory Stick is formatted using some other type of equipment, you will not be able to play it back on this unit.
It may not be possible to use MG Memory Sticks that have just been purchased. If this happens, use the unit to format the MG Memory Stick. Refer to "Formatting Memory Stick (quick format)" on page 89 for instructions on formatting MG Memory Sticks.
Some recordings and other data may not be played back or displayed, depending on the device that was used to save the data.

FM reception characteristics
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM’s (similar to a ray of light): they won’t bend but they will reflect. Often, they will be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The distance at which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can be received.
In weak signal or “fringe” reception areas, FM stations may fade out completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels, among tall buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. In this case, you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune to a stronger station, or reduce the treble level.
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory performance.

AM Radio Waves FM Radio Waves
FM RECEPTION DIFFERS FROM AM

72
How to operate the tuner
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions encountered while driving, including the types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High Effective Radiation Power 1kW
FM Stereo Auto Radio 20 km
FM Monaural Auto Radio 50 km
Home FM Stereo Receiver 100 km
RECEPTION AREA OF FM BROADCASTS
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another problem called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the situation.

How to operate the MP3 player
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
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: 31 (including "."
and 3 letter file extension)
Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)
Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 250
Total number of folders possible on a single disc: 250
Maximum folders this unit can recognize: 250*

Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognized as MP3 and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3 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.
When a disc with recorded MP3 files is inserted, the unit first checks all the files on the disc. No sound is output while the unit is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files other than MP3 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the unit.
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3 file. * It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast
Up/Down is operated.
Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.
1. MP3 folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the unit as an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3" file extension to files that are not MP3 files.
