About RDS

RDS (Radio Data System)

When listening to an RDS station, the program service name of the station is displayed, advising you quickly which station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data for the same station. When you are making long trips, this function automatically alternative switches to the particular frequency with the best reception for the particular network of stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting the same program, that has better reception. These include stations stored in the station preset memory that you often listen to.

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit information about other RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warning to be received.

The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

• Joliet (64 characters)

• Romeo (128 characters)

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below. The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

• Maximum number of directory levels: 8

• Maximum number of files per folder: 255

• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64

• Maximum number of folders: 100

MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the above may not be successfully played and their file names or folder names are not properly displayed.

Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA encoder.

•Transfer bit rate MP3: 8 —320 kbps

• Sampling frequency

MP3: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

Play mode may not be possible when portions of the functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.

When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.

Entering ID3 tag and Contents Description

The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version

1.x. For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.

Entering file and folder names

The code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD writer used. The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA which have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).

A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Writing files into a medium

When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3/WMA. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3/WMA file or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA with the MP3/WMA extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA they have the MP3/WMA extension.

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer. Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.

For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search, or Folder Select as shown below.

When a File Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...

When a Folder Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...

When Folder Select is selected with file ¡$ being played to move from folder to folder ...

2WARNING

If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.

2CAUTION

• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.

• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.

• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.

• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.

• When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear output terminal

• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

•Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
