The driver should avoid operating the system as much as  
possible while driving.  
Improper use can contribute to occurrence of a traffic  
accident.  
Do not disassemble or modify the deck.

or result in other damage.  
13  
Introduction  
Before using the deck  
About discs  
Water droplets can form on the inside of the unit during cold or  
rainy weather in the same way car windows can fog up. (This is  
condensation.) When this happens, the audio can jump and  
playback can stop, so ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a  
short time before operating the equipment.  
ATTENTION  
To safeguard the components of the player, the unit will  
automatically stop when a malfunction occurs. If the player will  
not operate even when messages displayed on the screen are  
followed, consult with your equipment retailer because it is  
possible that the unit has been damaged.  
It is possible that the sound will skip if the vehicle experiences  
violent motion on rough roads.  
It is possible that a CD-R (CD-Recordable) or CD-RW (CD-  
ReWritable) disc will not play on the unit due to special disc  
characteristics, scratches, dirt or deterioration caused by long  
storage in the vehicle. In addition, a CD-R or CD-RW disc  
written with CD-R, CD-RW or UDF format that has not been  
finalized will not play on the unit.  
TEXT  
An audio disc or DVD video disc bearing one the marks on the  
left can be played.  
14  
About handling discs  
ATTENTION  
Be sure to store discs in their cases and keep them out of  
direct sunlight. Discs can warp and become unusable.  
Do not apply paper-based tape to either the recording side or  
label side of a disc. Damage could result.  
Do not use discs on which there are cracks or large warps.  
Damage could result.  
Do not touch the recorded side of a disc when handling it.(This  
is the side with the rainbow-colored reflection.) The disc may  
become dirty and that could cause sound jumping.  
Using a disc that has become dirty can scratch the disc and  
result in sound jumping. Use a commercially available compact  
disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the  
edge.  
About new discs  
Rough Edges  
Ballpoint pen  
You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around  
the center hole or outside edge.  
Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc.  
Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the unit. Flakes  
from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface  
and interfere with playback.  
15  
Introduction  
Before using the deck  
About rental discs  
ATTENTION  
Flakes  
Do not use CD discs with attached cellophane tape, rental CD  
discs with glue protruding from labels or discs with the residue  
of peeled adhesives. Using discs with those conditions can  
prevent the player from properly opening and closing as well  
as cause other damage.  
Recorded surface  
About specially shaped discs  
Specially-shaped or octagonal CDs, like heart-shaped cannot  
be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter,  
since they may damage the player.  
Please do not use a commercially available lens cleaner  
because it may cause damage to the pickup of the player.  
About disc accessories  
Do not use accessories(stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens  
cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound performance" or  
"protecting CDs." The changes in CD thickness or outside  
dimensions made by these accessories may cause problems  
in the player.  
Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or  
other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are  
commercially available and said to protect disc and to improve  
sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more  
harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems  
are insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems  
due to the protector ring that come off in the disc mechanism.

About the LCD panel

About AUTO.P  
Because AUTO.P temporarily saves stations for the preset switches, stations saved  
manually will remain in memory even if AUTO.P is used. By manually saving stations that  
are used regularly, these manually saved stations can be restored even after AUTO.P  
has been used, such as after traveling.  
Touching AUTO.P while AUTO.P is being used or after AUTO.P has been used will  
return the preset memories back to the condition they had before AUTO.P was used.  
(Doing so will delete the stations saved with AUTO.P.) The flow for switching from  
AUTO.P to manual is shown below.

ATTENTION  
A station saved by the tuning switch may not match a station saved by AUTO.P  
even though the signal is received from the same station.  
Due to conditions for receiving radio waves, saved stations may differ even  
when the AUTO.P switch is operated repeatedly in the same location.  
Up to six stations having good reception sensitivity are automatically saved in

About MP3  
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By  
using MP3, a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.  
This unit has limitations on MP3 file standards and recorded media and formats that can be  
used.Be aware of the following points when recording MP3 files.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
Supported standards:  
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III  
Supported sampling frequencies: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
Supported bit rate:  
32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128 (kbps)  
*Supports VBR.  
* Does not support free format.  
* Bit rates vary for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.  
stereo, joint stereo, dual channel, monaural  
Supported channel modes:  
Use 128kbps or lower for the MP3 bit rate. If the bit rate exceeds 128kbps, there  
may be sound jumping during MP3 playback.  
Caution  
ID3 tags  
MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song title  
and artist can be saved.  
This unit supports ID3v.1.0 and ID3v.1.1 tags.Use only ASCII code to record tags, since  
only ASCII code is supported by this deck. Recording of characters not included in ASCII  
code will result in display of garbled characters.  
Media  
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to  
CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high  
temperature/high humidity environments and one section of the CD-R may become  
incapable of playback.  
Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during  
playback. Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time.  
It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs  
are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.  
45  
How to operate the MP3 player  
How to use the MP3 player  
Format of discs  
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.  
Control items for this standard are as follows:  
Also be sure to use "MODE 1" for recording. Discs recorded with "MODE 2" are not  
supported.  
MP3 files recorded in a format other than the one explained above may result in files that  
cannot be played normally and in file names and folder names that do not display properly.  
Limitations in addition to standards are as follows.  
Maximum directory layers:  
8 layers  
Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 31 (including "." and 3 letter file  
extension)  
Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)  
Number of files/folders possible on a single disc: 512  
Each file that is not an MP3 file (files with extensions other than "MP3") is also counted as a  
file.

A total of 512 files and folders can be  
created within a single folder.

Each file that is not an MP3 file (example:

A total of 1023 files and folders can be recorded on a single disc.  
46  
File names  
Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognized as MP3 and played. Be sure  
to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension.  
Use half-width English capital letters to write "MP" of the extension.  
Multi-sessions  
Multisessions are supported and CD-R/RW with recorded MP3 files can be played. When  
written with "Track at once", however, finalize the disc with session close or write protect.  
Playing MP3  
When a disc having MP3 files recorded on it is inserted into the deck, the system first  
checks all the files on the disc. The check will be completed within approximately 10  
seconds after the disc is inserted, and the first MP3 file will begin playing. If the check is  
not completed within approximately 10 seconds, the music or audio previously being  
played is continuing, but playing of the MP3 files may be started by touching  
Sound is not emitted from the system while it is checking the files on the disc.  
.
MP3  
In order to speed up completion of the file check, it is recommended that you avoid  
recording files that are not MP3 files and avoid establishing unnecessary folders.  
In addition, it is recommended that you record all data in a single session because a  
multisession disc takes time for CD control information acquisition.  
When MP3 is being played, navigation operation will become slower. This is not a  
malfunction of the system.  
MP3 playing time display  
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the  
MP3 file.  
* It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.  
Display order of MP3 file/folder names  
Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.  
1. MP3 files displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.  
2. Folders displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.  
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will  
be mistakenly recognized by the unit as an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud  
Caution  
noise output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3"  
file extension to files that are not MP3 files.  
47  
How to operate the MP3 player  
How to use the MP3 player  
Making and playing MP3 files  
MP3 files created by recording broadcasts, records, audio recordings, video recordings or  
live performances cannot be used for purposes other than personal entertainment without  
permission of the copyright holder as set forth in copyright law.  
Downloading from Internet MP3 music sites  
There are many kinds of sites that distribute MP3 files on the Internet, such as "pay per  
download" online shopping sites, "try before you buy" listening sites and free download sites.  
Follow the rules for each site (such as paying fees) and download according to site  
instructions.  
Converting CD music to MP3 files  
Prepare a computer with commercially available MP3 encoding software (conversion  
software). (Some encoding programs available on the Internet do not require payment.)  
Music data files in MP3 format can be made by inserting the music CD into the CD-ROM  
drive of the computer and following the procedures of the MP3 encoding software to  
compress the songs of the music CD. A 12cm music CD (having a maximum of 74 minutes  
of recording/650MB of data) can be compressed to 65MB (about 1/10 of the original size).  
Writing to CD-R  
MP3 files can be recorded on CD-R/RW by using a CD-R/RW drive connected to a  
computer. Record by setting the recording format of the recording software to ISO9660 level  
1 or level 2 (not including extension format).  
Select CD-ROM (mode 1) for the disc format. Discs recorded with CD-ROM xA (mode 2)  
cannot be played on this deck.  
When playing back CD-R/RW  
Insert a CD-R/RW disc having recorded MP3 files. The system will automatically determine  
whether the disc is a music CD or a CD-R/RW with MP3 files and begin playing the disc. A  
music CD recorded onto a CD-R/RW can also be played. However, depending on the type  
of disc being used, a disc may not play.  
48  
A fixed bit rate of 128kbps and sampling frequency of 44.1kHz is recommended  
for obtaining stable audio quality at playback.  
ATTENTION  
Depending on the characteristics of a disc, CD-R and CD-RW may not be able  
to read the disc.  
Because there are many types of MP3 encoding software available, including  
commercial and freeware programs, audio quality may deteriorate, noise may be  
generated when playing starts and some recordings may not play, depending  
on the condition of the encoder and the file format.  
When files other than MP3 files are recorded on a disc, the system may take  
some time to recognize the disc and it may not play the disc.

Glossary  
CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable)  
This is a disc that can only be recorded once. Recorded data cannot be deleted. There  
are two types of CD-R, one having capacity of 650MB (74 minutes of music), the same as  
a regular CD, and the other having capacity of 700MB (80 minutes of music).  
CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio)  
This disc is the standard for recording and playing of music data. One track is recorded  
with one song, and a maximum of 74 minutes can be used with the CD.  
CD-RW (Compact Disc Rewritable)  
This disc uses a phase transformation method that enables recording and deleting of data  
as many times needed. Capacity is 700MB (80 minutes of music).  
EQ (Equalizer)  
This enables setting of stronger or softer playing of sounds throughout the high to low  
range of the sound. Levels can be adjusted to personal preference, enhancing enjoyment  
of the music.  
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)  
This is one technology (digital compression technology) used during compression of audio  
data for sounds such as music. Because it has high data compression efficiency, it is  
generally used to enable obtaining of audio files from music distribution sites on the  
Internet.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
This is an abbreviation for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, a signal recording method used  
with music CDs. A music CD is recorded at 44.1kHz/16 bit, but a DVD is recorded at  
48kHz/16 bit ~ 96kHz/24 bit, enabling a DVD to be played with higher sound quality than a  
music CD.  
MPEG  
This is an abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group and is pronounced "empeg". It is  
the international standard for moving image compression. With DVDs, this method is also  
used to compress and record digital audio.  
Copy Control CD  
This is a CD that has controls for preventing computers from copying and ripping (taking  
audio information recorded on a compact disc and using it as data to create a file).

Glossary  
UDF (Universal Disc Format)  
This is one format for use with optical discs not reliant on the OS. It is used with media  
such as DVD and CD-RW.  
Track  
The single division for a song on a music CD is called a track.  
Viewing Restriction  
This is a DVD video function that "Restricts playing of discs that support viewing  
restrictions, in accordance with the regulated levels of each country." Restrictions differ by  
DVD video and may completely prevent playing of the video or may skip or insert alternate  
scenes for extreme scenes.  
Title  
This is the largest unit for divisions of video or songs recorded on a DVD video. Usually a  
single movie is treated as a title by video software and a single album (or song) is treated  
as a single title by music software. The consecutive numbers attached to titles are called  
title numbers.  
Chapter  
This is a unit for divisions of video or songs recorded on a DVD video, but it is a smaller  
unit than a title. A single title is made up of several chapters, and the consecutive numbers  
attached to chapters are called chapter numbers.  
Multi-Angle  
This is one feature of DVD video, where viewpoints of the same scene are changed by  
recording from several different angles (camera positions), allowing the viewer to select  
the preferred angle.  
Multi-Language  
This is one feature of DVD video, where the same scene is recorded with several different  
languages and subtitles, allowing the viewer to select the preferred language.  
Region Code  
DVD players and DVD discs have a region code that enables playing by geographic  
marketing regions, and a disc cannot be played if the number recorded on the disc is not  
included in the region codes of the player. Refer to page 55 for details on region codes.
