INSTALLATION

Notes:

• Choose the mounting location where
the unit will not interfere with the
normal driving function of the driver.

• Before finally installing the unit,
connect the wiring temporarily and
make sure it is all connected up
properly and the unit and the system
work properly.

• Use only the parts included with the
unit to ensure proper installation.
The use of unauthorized parts can
cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if
installation requires the drilling of holes
or other modifications of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in
the driver’s way and cannot injure the
passenger if there is a sudden stop,
like an emergency stop.

• If installation angle exceeds 30˚ from
horizontal, the unit might not give its
optimum performance.

30˚

• Avoid installing the unit where it would
be subject to high temperature, such
as from direct sunlight, or from hot air,
from the heater, or where it would be
subject to dust, dirt or excessive
vibration.

DIN FRONT/REAR-MOUNT

This unit can be properly installed either
from “Front” (conventional DIN Front­mount) or “Rear” (DIN Rear-mount
installation, utilizing threaded screw holes
at the sides of the unit chassis).
For details, refer to the following
illustrated installation methods.

TAKE OUT SCREW BEFORE
INSTALLATION

Before install the unit, please remove the
two screws.

WMA OPERATION

The unit that can play the WMA disc and
the operation is the same with MP3
operation described above.

AUDIO DSP (MP3/WMA DECODER)

The audio DSP converts MP3/WMA
stream data sent from the CD-ROM
decoder to PCM data.
The following standards and bit rate are
supported.

Standard Bit Rate (kbps) Supported Mode
MPEG1 Audio 320,256,224, STEREO

LAYER3 192,160,128, JOINT STEREO
(48kHz/ 112,96,80,64, DUAL CHANNEL

Windows 192,160,128 STEREO
Media Audio
(48kHz)

The audio DSP automatically identifies
the supported bit rate and mode, and
sampling frequency. MP3 and WMA must
be identified by the microcontroller.
CAUTION: VBR of WMA can be played
back if the bit rate is 48 kbps or higher.
If a bit rate of less than 48 kbps exists in
a stream, that stream cannot be correctly
played back.
You are suggested to play the WMA
stream data with the sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz and the bit rate over 128kbps,
then you can get better effect.

2. The unit cannot play a CD-R and
CD-RW that is not finalized.
(Please refer to the manual of your
CD-R/CD-RW recorder or CD-R/
CD-RW software for more information
on finalization process).

3. Depending on the recording status,
conditions of the disc and the
equipment used for the recording,
some CD-Rs/CD-RWs may not be
played on this unit. (See *1)

*1:To have more reliable play back,

please see following
recommendations:
a. Use CD-RWs with speed 1x to 4x

and write with speed 1x to 2x.

b. Use CD-Rs with speed 1x to 8x and

write with speed 1x to 2x.

c. Do not play a CD-RW which has
