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.

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

Turning on the power

•By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Turning off the power

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

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

•During SSM search...

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

–Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

–When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 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.

FM RDS operations

•Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.

•If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level.

•When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically.

•If you want to know more about RDS, visit <http://www.rds.org.uk>.

Disc 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.

•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.

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

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 which are 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 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.).

18

•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 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.
