Open the front panel.

Press [OPEN] on the front panel.

Insert the disc.

The display changes as shown below. Playback will start automatically when an MP3 ﬁle has been recognized on the disc. Close the front panel manually.

Disc Insert and Playback

(Eject)

Label side

Caution: ≥ Only 5z (12 cm) CD, CD-DA data recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs, MP3 data recorded CD media (CD-

ROM, CD-R, CD-RW) are available for this unit.

≥ If a disc contains both CD-DA and MP3 data, only one type of data will be played back. For example, if

the disc starts with CD-DA data, it will be recognized as an ordinary music CD, if it starts with an MP3 ﬁle, it will be recognized as an MP3.

≥ Refer to page 51 about notes on CD-Rs/RWs. ≥ Refer to page 42 about notes on MP3. ≥ To avoid damaging the front panel, do not push it down or place objects on it while it is open. ≥ Do not use irregular shaped discs. ≥ Do not use discs that have a seal or label attached. ≥ Do not insert foreign matter into the disc slot. ≥ Never attempt to play a ﬁle that is not in the MP3 format by changing its ﬁle name extension to

“.mp3”. This may not only produce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

≥ Do not watch the scroll display while driving a car. (➡ page 30)

Not all CD media containing MP3 data will play back normally. For details see “Notes on MP3”. (➡ page 42)

Note:

≥ When you insert a CD media containing MP3 ﬁles (CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW) into the slot, this player will au-

tomatically enter MP3 mode and start playing MP3 data on the disc.

≥ A directory is interpreted as a folder in these instructions.

Note:

≥ Loading a disc when the power is off allows the

power to be turned on.

≥ It may take some time to distinguish CD-DA and

MP3 before playback starts.

≥ If you record too many folders and MP3 ﬁles

onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.

≥ The title information can be displayed.

(➡ page 29)

≥ If the ignition switch of your car is turned to OFF

during playback, there may be a time lag between the ﬁle playing time on the display and the actual playing time. In addition, playback may start from the beginning of the music when using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) of a MP3 ﬁle in the same situation.

≥ Do not insert a disc when “DISC” indicator lights. ≥ Lights when the disc is loaded/played.

Folder number

Stop and Disc Eject

1 Press [OPEN] on the front panel. 2 Press [<] (eject) to stop MP3 play and eject

the disc.

Note:

≥ Ejecting the disc when the unit is in the MP3

player mode allows the power to be turned off.

Folder Selection Order/MP3 File Playback Order (Example)

Note:

≥ This unit counts the number of folders irrespec-

tive of the presence or absence of MP3 ﬁle. (Example: there is no MP3 ﬁle in a root folder as shown in the drawing, but a folder number “001” is given. In fact, there is no MP3 ﬁle to reproduce. Therefore, the next folder is automatically selected.)

≥ The writing software sometimes changes the

order of folders and ﬁles on a disc, so the order may differ from what you speciﬁed. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.

≥ If you record too many folders or ﬁles other than

MP3s onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts, and you may have difficulties using fast forward and fast reverse.

≥ Playback order varies with players even if the

same disc is loaded.

successful playback may not be performed.

Note:

≥ When VBR (Variable Bit Rate) MP3 ﬁle is played

back, the ﬁle playing time may not be correct. When the reproduction of VBR MP3 ﬁle is ﬁn- ished, it will count again.

≥ Running a ﬁle in fast forward or fast reverse may

Notes on MP3

This player allows you to play MP3 ﬁles recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable) and CD-RWs (rewritable).

What is MP3?

MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer-3, is a standard for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media. It is one of the audio compression schemes covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without hurting the sound quality by means such as eliminating big sound waves within in the sound range that is imperceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The ﬁgures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a ﬁxed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

Points to Remember When Recording an MP3 Disc

❐ Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 ﬁle

≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”. ≥ Bit rate 8 kbps of MPEG-2 and sampling frequency 16 kHz of MPEG-2 cannot be reproduced. ≥ If set to VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the ﬁle playing time may not be displayed correctly. ≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to

the user manual of your encoding software.

❐ Recording MP3 ﬁles on CD-R/RW

≥ Do not record ﬁles other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc.

If too many folders or ﬁles other than MP3s are recorded on a disc, it may take some time before playback starts, and you may have difficulties using fast forward and fast reverse.

≥ Use ISO 9660 ﬁle system (Extension of the ISO 9660 ﬁle systems are included.) (➡ page 43). APPLE HFS

ﬁle system is not supported.

If they do not conform to ISO 9660 ﬁle system, the ﬁle may not play normally, or the ﬁle or folder names may not be displayed correctly.

≥ Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 ﬁle name.

A ﬁle with a different ﬁle name extension or none at all will not play.

≥ Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.

Make sure to close the session when you ﬁnished recording on a disc.

≥ ID3Tags are not supported.

The song information is stored but not displayed. Discs written with ID3 Ver. 2 may not work properly.

≥ Packet writing software is not supported. ≥ A playlist function is not supported.

Record ﬁles and folders in the order in which you want them to be played. Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a preﬁx in the range of “01”j“09”, etc. to the ﬁle name. For details refer to the use manual of your writing software.

Note:

≥ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 ﬁles recorded with certain

writing softwares or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).

Note:

≥ MP3 encode software and writing software are not supplied to this model.

Caution:

≥ Never assign the “.mp3” ﬁle name extension to a ﬁle that is not in the MP3 format. This may not only pro-

duce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

❐ Maximum Number of Files/Folders

❐ Supported File Systems and File Names

≥ Maximum number of trees: 8 ≥ Maximum number of ﬁles/folders: 254 (ﬁlesifolders. Root folder is not included.)

ISO 9660

The most common international standard for the logical format for ﬁles and directories.

APPLE HFS

The ﬁle system used by the Macintosh operating system to organize data. (Not supported)

Multi-session

A method of adding data incrementally to a CD-R or CD-RW in more than one recording session.

Disc-at-Once

A method of writing data in a media by just one operation and no more writing after that.

Note:

≥ If the total of ﬁles and folders exceeds 254, successful playback may not be performed.

Name ﬁle and folders in accordance with the standard of each ﬁle system. Refer to the instructions of writing software for details.

≥ This player can display ﬁle names of up to 31 ASCII character set in

scroll mode. *Up to 15 letters can be displayed when scrolling in the Joliet sys-

tems. According to the standard, “á”, “ç”, etc. can be used.

≥ Characters that the player cannot display are shown as an asterisk.

ID3Tag

A function that allows character information (title, artist, album title, date, etc) to be written onto the disc. Discs written with ID3 Ver. 2 may not work properly. (Not supported)

Packet writing

A method of writing data on a CD media in small increments. (Not supported)

The ﬁrst step in installation is to identify all the car wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound system. As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This will help avoid confusion when making connections later.

Note:

≥ Do not connect the power connector to the stereo

unit until you have made all connections. If there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in the following order.

Power Lead

If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one: Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug (leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you can work with individual leads.

❐ Identify All Leads

Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.

Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire at a time until you ﬁnd the outlet that causes the test bulb to light.

Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turns off and on, that outlet is the car power lead.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit: Go to the fuse block and ﬁnd the fuse port for radio (RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).

Battery Lead

If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to locate the car’s battery lead. Otherwise you may ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continuous power to maintain a clock, memory storage, or other function.)

If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one: With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit: Go to the fuse block and ﬁnd the fuse port for the battery, usually marked BAT.

Speakers

Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads for each speaker which are usually color coded. A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speaker they are connected with is to test the leads using a 1.5 V AA battery as follows. Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers if you are holding a speaker lead. If not, keep testing different lead combinations until you have located all the speaker leads. When you label them, include the speaker location for each.

Antenna Motor

If your car is equipped with an automatic power antenna, identify the car motor antenna lead by connecting one bulb tester lead to the car battery lead and touching the remaining exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug one at a time. You will hear the antenna motor activate when you touch the correct wire.

Antenna

The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal plug at the end.

❐ Connect All Leads

Now that you have identiﬁed all the wires in the car, you are ready to begin connecting them to the stereo unit wires. The wiring diagram (➡ page 58) shows the proper connections and color coding of the leads. We strongly recommend that you test the unit before making a ﬁnal installation. You can set the unit on the ﬂoor and make temporary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.

Important:

≥ Connect the red power lead last, after you have

made and insulated all other connections.

Ground

Connect the black ground lead of the power connector to the metal car chassis.

Installation Guide (Continued)

Speakers

Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram (➡ page 58) for the proper hookups. Follow the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and the stereo unit. The speakers used must be able to handle more than 50 W of audio power. If using an optional audio ampliﬁer, the speakers should be able to handle the maximum ampliﬁer output power. Speakers with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker impedance should measure 4–8 ≠, which is typically marked on most speakers. Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect output and can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.

Motor Antenna

Connect the car motor antenna lead to the dark blue motor antenna relay control lead. (Do not confuse the antenna lead with blue/white stripe lead for a power ampliﬁer.)

Battery

Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.

Antenna

Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead into the antenna receptacle.

Equipment

Connect any optional equipment such as an ampliﬁ- er, according to the instructions furnished with the equipment. Leave about 12z (30 cm) of distance between the speaker leads/ampliﬁer unit and the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the operating and installation instructions of any equipment you will connect to this unit.

Power

Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse block. If the stereo unit functions properly with all these connections made, disconnect the wires and proceed to the ﬁnal installation.

❐ Final Installation

❐ Final Checks

Lead Connections

Connect all wires, making sure that each connection is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and fasten them with tape so they will not fall down later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting collar.

Congratulations! After making a few ﬁnal checks, you’re ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.

1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected and insulated.

2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in the mounting collar.

3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper operation.

If you have difficulties, consult your nearest authorized professional installer for assistance.

❐ Preparation

≥ We strongly recommend that you wear gloves

for installation work to protect yourself from injuries.

≥ When bending the mounting tabs of the

mounting collar with a screwdriver, be careful not to injure your hands and ﬁngers.

≥ Disconnect the cable from the negative -battery

terminal (see caution below).

≥ Unit should be installed in a horizontal position

with the front end up at a convenient angle, but not more than 30o.

Caution:

≥ Do not disconnect the battery terminals of a

car with a trip or navigational computer since all user settings stored in memory will be lost. Instead take extra care with installing the unit to prevent shorts.
