Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your 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 exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

CD-R/CD-RW discs

• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, play back is possible only for discs which have been finalized.

• It may not be possible to play back CD-R/

CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re corder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on

the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the

lens of this unit.

• Playback of discs recorded on a personal

computer may not be possible depending on the application settings and the environ ment. Please record with the correct for mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer of the application.)

• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be

come impossible in case of direct exposure

to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto

rage conditions in the car.

• Titles and other text information recorded

on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis played by this unit (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)).

• This unit conforms to the track skip func

tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks

containing the track skip information are skipped automatically (in case of audio data (CD-DA)).

• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,

time to playback will be longer than when you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.

• Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW

discs before using them.tn

MP3 and WMA files

• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and

refers to an audio compression technology standard.

• WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio

and refers to an audio compression tech nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor poration. WMA data can be encoded by

using Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1 or Windows Media Player for Windows XR With some applications used to encode WMA files, this unit may not operate cor rectly. With some applications used to encode WMA files, album names and other text in formation may not be correctly displayed. This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back. It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded discs. MP3/WMA files are not compatible with packet write data transfer.

The max. number of characters which can

be displayed for a file name, including the

extension (.mp3 or.wma), is 32 characters from the first character. The max, number of characters which can

be displayed for a folder name is 32 charac ters.

In case of files recorded according to the

Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first 32 characters can be displayed. When playing discs with MP3/WMA files

and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be

played only by switching mode between

MP3/WMA and CD-DA, The folder selection sequence for playback

and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there

also is some writing software which per

mits setting of the playback order.

Important

When naming an MP3 or a WMA file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3 or

•wma).

(50)

Page 51

Additional Information

Appendix

• 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 IDS Tag Ver.

1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and ar

tist (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 recom

mended 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.lZ)

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/WMAfiles 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.(Z)

Appendix

Additional Information

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 in formation can include the track title, the ar tist's 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 for

mat 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 con sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

sign, with a file-extension of three charac

ters.)

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in cluding the separation mark and a file ex tension). 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” soft

ware 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 Stan dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con ventional disc.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al

lows 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-ses sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses sions 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

Player for Windows XP.

Connecting the Units

Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con necting 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 insula tion of the wiring melts or gets tom, there is a dan ger 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 the fuse holder.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right 0 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 catch ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

When this product’s source is switched ON, a con trol 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 ter minal (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 possi bility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulat ed. 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 vehi cle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

Fig.1

The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current prod ucts 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 functiohi: When cotmecting jte product to another product, refer to tie supphed lnstallatioii'manuals of both products and connect cords that have the

Installation

Note:

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.

• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications

of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s

way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it

overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot

— for instance, near a heater outlet.

If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. (Fig. 4)

TO OBTAIN SERVICE CAR STEREO PRODUCTS (EXCEPT CAR SPEAKERS SOLD IN THE U.S.A. ONLY)

PA and РОС have appointed a number of Authorized Service Companies throughout the U.S.A. and Canada should your product ever require service. To receive warranty service you will need to present your sales receipt or, if rented, your rental contract showing place and date of original owner's transaction.

Should it become necessary to ship the unit you will need to package the product carefully and send it, transportation prepaid by a traceable, pre-insured method, to an Authorized Service Company. Carefully package the product using adequate padding material to prevent damage in transit. The original container is ideal for this purpose. Include in

the package your name, address, telephone number where you can be reached during business hours, a copy of your sales receipt and a detailed description of the problem.

TO OBTAIN SERVICE CAR SPEAKERS SOLD IN THE U.S.A. ONLY

Should your car speaker require service, return defective car speaker to your retail dealer for exchange. To receive warranty service you will need to present your sales receipt

showing place and date of original owner's retail purchase. If, for any reason, you cannot exchange the speakers at the selling dealer, call the Customer Service Department

as given below.
