How to read this manual
How to use the MODE button
The following methods are used to make the
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:
• Some related tips and notes are explained in

• Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:
Press briefly.
Press repeatedly.
Press either one.
If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions
mode, then the number buttons and
¢/4 buttons work as different
function buttons.
Ex.: When number button 2 works as
MO (monaural) button.
Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.
Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.
The following marks are used to indicate...
: Built-in VCD/CD player

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.
Connector
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
VCD/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 VCD/CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.
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 solvent (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.
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.
Do not use the following discs:
Warped

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can
also turn on the power.
Turning off the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.
For MP3/WMA discs, playback will start
from the beginning of the last playing track.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased
and stations are stored newly.
– 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, a 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 NonDVD 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 format.
• This unit cannot playback SVCD, DVDs,
CD-Gs, or CD-I discs.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only the files of the
same type which is first detected 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, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R or CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stain, scratch, warp, 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 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 humidities may cause malfunctions or
damages to discs.

• The On-Screen Display (OSD) will
automatically canceled when you change the
source or turn off the unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.
• 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 ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files.
• This unit can handle only one-byte characters.
No other characters can be correctly
displayed.
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files
meeting the conditions below:
• The maximum number of characters for file/
folder names vary among the disc format used
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or
<.wma>).
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo: up to 40 characters
– Joliet: up to 40 characters
– Windows long file name: up to 40
characters
• This unit can recognize the total of 512 files,
of 256 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This unit can play back the files recorded in
VBR (variable bit rate).
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this difference
becomes noticeable.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3
PRO format.
– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated
format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1.
– WMA files encoded with lossless,
professional, and voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon
Windows Media
– WMA formatted files copy-protected with
DRM.
– Files which have the data such as WAVE,
ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is
not constant.
®
Audio.
Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “CD” for the playback
source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.
For MP3/WMA discs, playback will start
from the beginning of the last playing track.
Ejecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to prevent it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
unit automatically changes the volume level
to “VOL 30.”

• 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 4Ωto 8Ω). If the maximum power is less than
50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 24 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
