More about this unit

Basic operations

General

If you turn off the power while listening to a track, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power.

If no operation is done for about 60 seconds after pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled.

Tuner operations

During SSM search...

–All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

–When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest preset number will be automatically tuned in.

When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc/USB operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.

If you change the source while listening to a disc, playback stops. Next time you select “CD” as the playback source, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously.

When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.

If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.

MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

This unit can only play back files of the same type as those detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit.

–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the “Packet Write” method.

–There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

–Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface.

–Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

Connectors

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

After starting the heater in the car.

If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture has evaporated.

How to handle discs

Center holder

When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a disc is used, this unit may reject the

disc.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Do not use the following discs:

More about this unit

Basic operations

General

If you turn off the power while listening to a track, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power.

If no operation is done for about 60 seconds after pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

During SSM search...

–All previously stored stations are erased and the stations are stored anew.

–When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest preset number will be automatically tuned in.

When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc/USB operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CDRWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.

If you change the source while listening to a disc, playback stops. Next time you select “CD” as the playback source, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously.

When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.

If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into

the loading slot again to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.

MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

This unit can only play back files of the same type as those detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit.

–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the “Packet Write” method.

–There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

ENGLISH 19

Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

–Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface.

–Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
