musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
ex
osure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection

Additional Information
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex-
tension (.mp3 or .wma) as an MP3 or a WMA
file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not
use these extensions for files other than MP3
or WMA files.
MP3 additional information
! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of
album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track artist).
! Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz
frequencies are played back, the emphasis
function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48
kHz sampling frequencies can be played
back.)
! There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
! There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO format.
! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with increasing bit rate. This
unit can play recordings with bit rates from
8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able
to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recommended to use only discs recorded with a
bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
! Only when WMA files of 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz frequencies are played back.
! The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with increasing bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy a certain sound quality, it is
recommended to use discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
About folders and MP3/
WMA files
! An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3/WMA
files on it is shown below. Subfolders are
shown as folders in the folder currently selected.
1 First level
2 Second level
3 Third level
Notes
! This unit assigns folder numbers. The user
can not assign folder numbers.
! It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA files. (These folders will be
skipped without displaying the folder number.)
! MP3/WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can
be played back. However, there is a delay in
the start of playback on discs with numerous
tiers. For this reason we recommend creating
discs with no more than 2 tiers.
! It is possible to play back up to 253 items from
folder on one disc.

Terms
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artists name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted to the number
of characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
_ sign, with a file-extension of three characters.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark . and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
m3u
Playlists created using the WINAMP software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard set by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions in one disc.
Packet write
This is a general term for a method of writing
on CD-R, etc. at the time required for a file,
just as is done with files on floppy or hard
discs.
VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But to flexibly adjust the bit rate
according to the needs of audio compression,
it is possible to achieve compression priorities
sound quality.

WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio and
refers to an audio compression technology
that is developed by Microsoft Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded by using Windows
Media Player version 7, 7.1 or Windows Media

Connecting the Units <ENGLISH>
Note:
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery
voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning
installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on
connecting the power amp and other units, then
make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and
seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get
hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation
of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of
the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.
• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery. This
will damage the lead insulation and cause a very
dangerous short.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection
circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of
the rating prescribed on this unit.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or
the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.
• Speakers connected to this unit must be highpower types with minimum rating of 50 W and
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers
with output and/or impedance values other than
those noted here may result in the speakers
catching fire, emitting smoke or becoming damaged.
• When this product’s source is switched ON, a control signal is output through the blue/white lead.
Connect to an external power amp’s system remote
control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features
a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster
power supply terminal.
• When an external power amp is being used with
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not
connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal
of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause
excessive current drain and malfunction.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected
lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the
unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulated.
• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of
the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side
is black. Connect the connectors of the same
colors correctly.
• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected
to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF
operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery
may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig.1)

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current products such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the ground
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the
products or fire.
• Cords for this product and those for other products
may be different colors even if they have the same
function. When connecting this product to another
product, refer to the supplied Installation manuals
of both products and connect cords that have the
same function.
