MP3/WMA FILE REQUIREMENTS

BT1613

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files are digital audio files that are compressed to allow more files on a single CD. This unit can play MP3/WMA directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW, USB device or SD card using the buttons on the receiver (or remote control) as described below. Many types of software are available for converting audio files into MP3/ WMA formats. Phase Linear recommends Nero or Roxio Easy CD Creator. Depending on the media type and recording method, some CD-R/ RWs may be incompatible with this unit. The unit supports playback of MP3/WMA and CDDA (CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including multi-session discs), but discs on

which the session has not been closed will not play.

Notes on MP3/WMA Play

This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media and accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.

Acceptable Media

The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. When using CD-RW, use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction.

Acceptable Disc 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 (11 characters)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

• Joliet (31 characters)

• Romeo (31 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 nested folders: 8

• Maximum number of files per disc: 999

• Maximum number of folders per disc: 255 MP3/WMA written in formats other than those

listed above will not play successfully and their file names or folder names will not be displayed properly.

MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings

Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

• Transfer bit rate: 32 - 320 kbps

• Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1, 48kHz (WMA) and 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48kHz (MP3)

When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. To record an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, select the “disc at once” option.

BT1613

Entering ID3 Tag

This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1. For the character codes, refer to the table

below.

Entering File and Folder Names

Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Other characters will not display correctly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.

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

Writing Files into a Disc

When a disc containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the disc contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a disc may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers.

NOTE: Do not attempt to play a disc containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a disc containing non MP3/WMA files.

Electronic Shock Protection

• 10 seconds for CDDA (CDA)

• 60 seconds for MP3/WMA recorded at

44.1kHz, 128kbps

Bit Rates

The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

File Playing Order

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer. As a result, 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 disc such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".

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

BLUETOOTH OPERATION

BT1613

Before attempting to use the Bluetooth functions on the BT1613, please make sure your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions (Headset or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere to the following guidelines for successful operation.

• Before using Bluetooth functions, you must pair your mobile phone to the BT1613 head unit. (See “Pairing the Bluetooth system with your Mobile Phone and Head Unit” on page 18.) To ensure the best reception for pairing and reconnection, please make sure the phone battery is fully charged before you begin.

• Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone being turned on.

• Once the unit has been paired with the phone, “BT60A” will be displayed on the mobile phone.

• To achieve the best performance, always keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of the head unit.

• Always keep a clear path between the mobile phone and the head unit. Never place a metal object or any other obstacle between the mobile phone and the head unit.

• Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson) may have a "Power Saving Mode" option.

PLEASE DO NOT use the Power saving Mode with the BT1613.

• Before accepting or making a call, make sure your mobile phone's “Bluetooth function” is turned on.

• To ensure the best conversation quality/ performance, stay within one meter of the head unit when talking.

• To “disconnect” the mobile phone from the head unit, turn the Bluetooth connectivity off on the mobile phone or use the DISCON (disconnect) feature under the System Menu (see “RE-CON/DIS-CON” on page 3).

• While talking in Telephone mode, it is recommended that you set the main volume level below “30”. A higher volume setting may create an unwanted echo in the vehicle that can feed back into the microphone.

• If you have difficulty pairing or the Bluetooth operation is not functioning properly, you can try a “soft reset” by removing the front panel (see “Front Panel Release” on page 4) and waiting 1 minute. If after reattaching the panel, operation has not resumed normally, you can perform a complete system Reset (see “Reset Button” on page 5).

Pairing the Bluetooth system with your Mobile Phone and Head Unit

1. Press and hold the DISP button (9) to access the MENU. “PAIR HF” is the first option on the menu.

2. Press the AUDIO CONTROL button (4) to initiate the pairing process. Keep the mobile phone within 2 meters of the unit during pairing.

3. Refer to the instructions that came with your mobile phone to activate the Bluetooth function and search for devices.

4. Select “BT60A” from the pairing list on the mobile phone.

5. Enter “1234” as the password.

• If pairing is successful, the display

will show your device name.

• If pairing fails, “PAIR FAIL” is flashed

on the display for 3 seconds, and then the unit will revert to the previous operation automatically. If pairing fails, repeat the above steps.

NOTE: During Pairing, only the Power, Volume +/-, B (Clear) and Mute keys are functional. Other keys are disabled during pairing mode.

BT1613

Reconnecting

Automatic Re-connection

The unit has a built-in Auto Re-connection function. When a paired phone is in range, the head unit will automatically reconnect with the mobile phone when the ignition key is turned on (only if the mobile phone was previously paired with the head unit).

Manual Re-connection

Under the following conditions, you may need to reconnect manually:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BT1613

CD Player

The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your CD player:

1. When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

2. The CD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under damp conditions. In case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle interior reaches a normal temperature or any condensation on the disc player lens has evaporated before using the player.

3. Never insert anything other than round 5” CDs into the player. Attempting to insert CDs of other sizes (even with an adaptor) will cause damage not covered by the warranty.

4. Always remove the CD when the player is not is use.

5. The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.
