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

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:

Single CD

—8 cm (3-3/16”) disc

Warped disc

ENGLISH

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

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.

Center holder

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.

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC (source) or i (iPod) button 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 track, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power.

Continued on the next page

General

Next time you select “CD” or “IPOD” as the playback

source, playback will start from where it had been

ENGLISH

stopped/paused previously.

• After ejecting a disc or disconnecting an iPod, “NO DISC” or “NO IPOD” appears and you cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc, connect an iPod, or press SRC to select another playback source.

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.

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.

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

• 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 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 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.

• 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.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or

2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below: – Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps – Sampling frequency: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1) 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)
