!
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.
The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-
comes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using only discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
!
!
Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When
these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/
WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/
CD-ROM, the files will be played back on
this player with a short pause between
each one, regardless of the length of the
pause between tracks on the original audio
CD.
WMA additional information
!
This unit plays back WMA files encoded by
Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8, 9
and 10.
!
!
You can only play back WMA files in the fre-
quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
The sound quality of WMA files generally
becomes better with an increased bit rate.
This unit can play recordings with bit rates
from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48
kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we
recommend using discs recorded with a
higher bit rate.
Important
!
!
When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add
the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,
.wma or.wav).
This unit plays back files with the filename ex-
tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/
WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-
tions, do not use these extensions for files
other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-
comes better with a larger number of quan-
tization bits. This unit can play recordings
with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)
quantization bits, but in order to be able to
enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-
mend using discs recorded with the larger
number of quantization bits.

Notes
!
!
This unit assigns folder numbers. The user
cannot assign folder numbers.
It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA/WAV files. (These folders
will be skipped without displaying the folder
number.)
!
!
MP3/WMA/WAV 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 numer-
ous tiers. For this reason we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.
It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on
one disc.

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code
modulation
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,
which is the signal recording system used for
music CDs and DVDs.
Terms
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
(bits per second) units. 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.
m3u
Playlists created using the ꢂWINAMPꢃ soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
ID3 tag
MP3
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tistꢁs 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 as to the num-
ber of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
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.
MS ADPCM
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential
pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-
cording system used for the multimedia soft-
ware of Microsoft Corporation.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the for-
mat logic of CD-ROMfolders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
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 on one disc.
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
ꢂ_ꢃ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-
ters).
Level 2:
Number of quantization bits
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-
cluding the separation mark ꢂ.ꢃ and a file ex-
tension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
The number of quantization bits is one factor
in the overall sound quality; the higher the
ꢂbit-depthꢃ, the better the sound quality. How-
ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases
the amount of data and therefore storage
space required.
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.

Additional Information
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 by flexibly adjusting the bit
rate according to the needs of audio compres-
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-
priority sound quality.
WAV
WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard
audio file format for Windows®.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio
and refers to an audio compression technol-
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.

Connecting the Units
<ENGLISH>
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.
•
•
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 a short-circuit, cover the disconnected
lead with insulating tape. Insulate the unused
speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of
a short-circuit 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 connections of the same col-
ors 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)
•
•
•
•
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 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 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 the fuse, be sure to only use a 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.
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod-
ucts such as power amps.
•
•
•
ACC position
No ACC position
If you ground the products together and the ground
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the
products or fire.
Fig. 1
•
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-
power with minimum rating of 50 W and imped-
ance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with out-
put and/or impedance values other than those
noted here may result in the speakers catching fire,
emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.
•
Cords for this product and those for other prod-
ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied manuals of
both products and connect cords that have the
same function.

Note:
•
Before making a final installation of the unit, tem-
porarily connect the wiring to confirm that the con-
nections are correct and the system works proper-
ly.
•
If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.
