MP3/WMA INTRODUCTION

What are MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.

WMA (Windows Media audio compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

• For details information about the MP3/WMA discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3/WMA file.

This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page

19.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a

disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

Audio) is the digital

How are MP3/WMA files recorded and played back?

MP3/WMA “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders” —in PC terminology. During recording, the files and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

The illustration below shows an example of how MP3/WMA files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code <.mp3> and a WMA track without the extension code <.wma>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 files encoded with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This unit is not compatible with WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media

• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which

enables users to make their own playback order without physically rearranging the files.

MAINTENANCE

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs, CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and CD Texts.

• This unit is also compatible with MP3 and WMA discs.

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 into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

To keep discs clean

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

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.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

Center holder

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following reasons: – Discs are dirty or scratched. – Moisture condensation on the lens inside the

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

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

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave them inside your car.

• Do not use 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 temperatures or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs. For example, – Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc. – Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs

cannot be ejected. – Print on discs may get sticky. Read instructions or cautions about labels and printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

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

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit. If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified technician.

Note: This unit is designed to operate only on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a

voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car audio dealers.

• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.

• If noise is a problem... This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this happens, connect the unit’s rear ground terminal (see connection diagram) to the car’s chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC car audio dealer.

• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 28 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
