displayed using a maximum of 128 characters.
(Includes period ". " and three-letter file extension.)
For information on characters that can be used,
refer to the writing software manual or to the <File
names> section below.
However, the following restrictions apply to discs
this unit can play.
• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 254
Audio files written in formats other than those
shown above may not play properly or the file and
folder names may not be displayed correctly.
Settings for compression software and writing
software
It is recommended that when compressing an
audio file you select the "constant" size of "128bps"
for the transfer bit rate setting in the compression
software. Select the "Disc at Once" setting when
recording data by filling an empty disc at one time.
File names
Please add the appropriate ".MP3" or ".WMA"
extension to audio files. Files that do not have either
of these extensions cannot be played.
• Do not add the above extensions to files that are not
audio files. Should you add one of these extensions, the
unit will mistakenly recognize the file as an audio file,
thus producing a loud noise that could damage the
speakers.
Display of track information for audio files
This unit can display the following track information:
track name, artist name and album name.
Information is displayed using Roman letters and
Arabic numerals.

Order for playing audio files
The order in which files or folders are selected using
Playback, Folder Search, File Search and Folder
Select is the order written into the writing software.
As a result, there may be occasions when the
order in which you expect tracks to play does not
correspond to the actual order in which they play.
Although it depends on your PC environment, it is
possible to set the playing order by specifying using
numbers "01" through "99" at the beginning of file
names and writing them into a CD-R or CD-RW
disc etc.
When using discs with folder and file levels like
that shown below, the following occurs when
conducting a Folder Search or File Search or when
selecting a folder.

2. Make the proper input and output wire
connections for each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the
following order: ground, battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the
unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the - battery.
8. Press the Reset button.
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.
• If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit
or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker
wire should be checked.
• 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.
For the sake of safety,
be sure to connect the
parking sensor.
• Connect to the vehicle's parking brake detection
switch harness using the supplied relay connector.
