BEFORE USE

*For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

*Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

ENGLISH

obstacle in between.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to strong light (direct sunlight or artificial lighting).

2. Place the battery.

Slide the battery into the holder with the + side facing upwards so that the battery is fixed in the holder.

Lithium coin battery (product number: CR2025)

3. Return the battery holder.

Insert again the battery holder pushing it until you hear a clicking sound.

Remote sensor

Installing the battery

When the controllable range or effectiveness of the remote controller decreases, replace the battery.

1. Remove the battery holder.

1) Push out the battery holder in the direction indicated by the arrow using a ball-point pen or a similar tool.

2) Remove the battery holder.

(back side)

WARNING:

• Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach. If a child accidentally swallows the battery, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery or dispose it in a fire. Doing any of these things may cause the battery to give off heat, crack or start a fire.

• Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials. Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack or start a fire.

• When throwing away or saving the battery, wrap it in tape and insulate; otherwise, the battery may start to give off heat, crack or start a fire.

• Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools. Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack or start a fire.

CAUTION:

DO NOT leave the remote controller in a place (such as dashboards) exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. Otherwise, it may be damaged.

MP3 INTRODUCTION

What is MP3?

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

ENGLISH

1:10 (128 Kbps**). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

* This player is not compatible with the data encoded

with Layer 1 and 2 formats.

** Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1024 bits/second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.

An MP3 decoder is incorporated into this unit. You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.

Compatible with ID3v1

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 file.

This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name, performer name and song title) on the display.

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.

Precautions when recording MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW

This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet.

How are MP3 files recorded and played back?

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

Playback order, file search order, and directory search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the directories and the files.

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

Other main features in this unit:

• Maximum number of directories/files: 289

• Available characters: A–Z, 0–9, _(underscore)

• Maximum number of characters for file name (ISO 9660 Level 1):12 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

(Joliet): 64 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

• Maximum number of characters for directory name: 64

(Total)

Notes:

• The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3 files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.

• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code—mp3.

• The 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.

MP3 playback/search order

• The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.

ENGLISH

MP3 OPERATIONS

Refer also to “CD OPERATIONS” on pages 12 to 15.

Playing an MP3 disc

Insert an MP3 disc into the loading slot.

The unit turns on, draws in an MP3 disc and starts playback automatically.

Ex.: When the disc contains 13 directories

and 125 MP3 files

Lights up

Playback starts automatically from the first file of the first directory once file check is completed. Then, the display changes to show the following:

• When “TAG ON” is selected (initial setting: see page 32)

Album name/performer name (directory name)* = Track title (file name)* = Elapsed playing time

* If an MP3 file does not have ID3 tags, directory

name and file name appear.

• When “TAG OFF” is selected

Directory name and file name appear.

Notes:

• All the files on the disc will be played repeatedly until you stop playback—All File Repeat Play.

• MP3 discs require a longer readout time**. (The readout time differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

**Readout time is the time taken by the unit to

scan or check the disc for files and file information.

MP3 indicator lights up.

To change the display information

While playing back an MP3 file, you can change the file information shown on the display. Each time you press DISP (display), the display changes to show the following:

• When “TAG ON” is selected (initial setting: see page 32)

Album name/

Performer name

(Directory name)*

Elasped playing time

* If an MP3 file does not have ID3 tags, directory

name and file name appear.

• When “TAG OFF” is selected

Directory name

Elasped playing time

Notes:

• You can use the scroll mode to show the disc information on the display. See also “Selecting the scroll mode—SCROLL” on page 32.

• If you change the setting from “TAG OFF” to “TAG ON” while playing an MP3 file, the tag display will be activated when the next file starts playing.

Track title

File name

To stop play and eject the disc

Press CD 0. Disc play stops and the disc automatically ejects from the loading slot (“EJECT” appears on the display). The source changes to the last selected source. If you change the source, the disc play also stops (without ejecting the disc this time).

Locating a file or a particular portion on an MP3 disc

To fast-forward or reverse the file

Press and hold ¢ while playing an MP3 disc, to fastforward the file.

Press and hold 4 while playing an MP3 disc, to reverse the file.

To go to a particular directory directly

IMPORTANT:

To directly select the directories using the number button(s), it is required that directories are assigned 2 digit numbers at the beginning of their directory names. (This can only be done during the recording of CD-Rs or CD-RWs.) Ex.: If directory name is “01 ABC”

= press 1 to go to directory 01 ABC

If directory name is “1 ABC”

= cannot directly select this directory.

If directory name is “12 ABC”

= press and hold 6 (12) to go to

directory 12 ABC

To select a particular file in a directory, press ¢ or 4 after selecting the directory.

starts from the beginning of that side.

– If the tape is fast-forwarded to the end, it is

reversed and played from the beginning of the other side.

passages (very quiet parts) or non-recorded

portions. – Tapes with short non-recorded sections. – Tapes with high level noise or humming between

tunes. – The Dolby NR setting does not match. For
