Caution

tions. Failure to heed the instructions may result in injury or material damage.

Observe the following warnings when installing.

❑

Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery terminal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short circuit. Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

❑

How to hold the disc

¡ Do not touch the underside of the disc. ¡ Do not scratch on the disc. ¡ Do not bend the disc. ¡ When not in use, keep the disc in a case.

Do not leave discs in the following places:

¡ In direct sunlight ¡ Near car heaters ¡ Dirty, dusty and damp areas ¡ On seats and dashboards

Disc cleaning

Notes on CD/CD Media

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.

(CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW)

Do not write on the disc label with a ballpoint pen or other hard-point pens.

¡ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs

recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

¡ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and

high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside a car for extended periods may damage them and make playback impossible.

¡ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due

to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.

¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is

not closed.

¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain

other than CD-DA or MP3 data.

¡ Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc

for handling it.

Recording MP3 files on a CD-media

¡ You are recommended to minimize the chances of mak-

ing a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3 files.

¡ If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 files, the

songs may not play in the intended order, or some songs may not play at all.

¡ Do not record files other than MP3 files and unnecessary

folder on a disc.

¡ The name of MP3 file should be added by rules as shown in

the following descriptions and also comply with the rules of each file system.

¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3 files or display-

ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writing software or CD recorders.

¡ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommend-

ed for high quality sounds.

¡ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended

because playing time is not displayed properly and sound may be skipped.

¡ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encod-

ing circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of your own encoding software and writing software.

¡ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more”

and “fixed”.

Caution
