To prevent injury or fire, take the

English

following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of place when jolted.

• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.

Notes on playing MP3 (KDC-MP822)

This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note, however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following restrictions.

English

Acceptable media

The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW. When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent malfunction.

Acceptable medium formats

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: 50

MP3 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 encoder and CD writer

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

•Transfer bit rate: 8 —320 kbps

• Sampling frequency: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

When you use your CD writer to record MP3 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

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 which have the MP3 extension (.MP3).

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 data is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or nonMP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing MP3. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 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 file with the

MP3 extension. The unit mistakes non-MP3 the MP3 extension.

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

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 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 ...
