Operation

How to operate the CD/MP3/WMA/AAC player

Operation

About compact discs

• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface.

A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or

intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:

• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long; the disc may

warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away from high

temperature and humidity.

• Do not adhere of paper or tape. Do not write on or scratch either side

of a disc.

• Discs spin at a high speed inside the main unit. Keep cracked or

warped discs out of the player to avoid damaging the main unit.

• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle

discs by their edges.

About brand new CDs

Rough Edges

• 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

main unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded

surface and interfere with playback.

About CD 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 disc insertion, disc ejections,

and won't play problems due to the protector ring that came off in the

disc mechanism.

About borrowed CDs

• Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get

stuck inside or damage the main unit.

How to remove CDs

• When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot.

Removing the disc in a downward or upward angle may scratch the

recorded surface of the disc.

OKAY

About irregularly-shaped CDs

• Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be

played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they

may damage the player.

About cleaning a CD

• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD,

wiping gently from the center to the edge.

Operation

• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on

CDs. They may damage a CD' s finish.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

ATTENTION

The making of MP3/WMA/AAC files by recording from sources such as broadcasts, records,

recordings, videos and live performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses

other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.

What is MP3/WMA/AAC?

MP3 (MPEG 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.

WMA (Windows Media^TMAudio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are formats for audio

compression technology. WMA files can be compressed to a size smaller than MP3 files. AAC is

said to have a high rate of compression which is about 1.4 times that for MP3 files with the same

audio quality.

This main unit has limitations on MP3/WMA/AAC file standards and recorded media and formats

that can be used.

Playable MP3 file standards

• Supported standards:

MPEG-1 Audio Layer III, MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer III

• Supported sampling frequencies:

8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate:

8~320 (kbps)

* Supports VBR (8~320kbps)

* Does not support free format.

• Supported channel modes:

monaural, stereo, joint, dual

Playable WMA file standards

• Supported standards:

WMA Ver. 7 , WMA Ver. 8 , WMA Ver. 9

• Supported sampling frequencies:

8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate:

3~320 (kbps)

* Supports VBR (3~320kbps).

* Does not support lossless compression.

How to operate the CD/MP3/WMA/AAC player

* Does not support WMA files recorded at a frequency of 48kHz with a bit rate of 96kbps.

Playable AAC file standards

• Supported standards:

AAC-LC(MPEG-4)

• Supported sampling frequencies:

8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

• Supported bit rate:

3~320 (kbps)

* Supports VBR (3~320kbps).

• Supported channel modes:

monaural, stereo, joint, dual

ATTENTION

Depending on the encoding method used, this device may not be able to play back some types of

AAC file.

ID3/WMA tag

MP3/WMA files have an “ID3 / WMA Tag” that allows input of information so that data such as song

title and artist can be saved.

This main unit supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1, and WMA tags.

ATTENTION

Tags for AAC files cannot be displayed.

Media

Media capable of playing MP3/WMA/AAC includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM

media commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high

humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of

playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during

playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of

time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because

the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

Operation

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:

• Maximum directory layers: 8 layers

• Maximum characters for folder names/file names:

128 (including “.” and 3 letter file extension)

• Allowable characters for folder names/file names:

A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)

• Number of files possible on a single disc:

512

[Configuration example for CD supporting MP3/WMA/AAC]

Root directory (F1)

Folder 2

001.mp3

002.mp3

003.mp3

004.txt

005.mp3

Number of files possible on a single disc is 512. Files aside from MP3/WMA/AAC

files (Example: 004.txt) also count as single files.

Folder 158

Folder 159

F158

F159

001.mp3

002.mp3

Folder 255

F255

• Maximum folders this main unit can recognize:

512*

*: A root directory is counted as one folder.

File names

Only files with the MP3/WMA/AAC file extension “.mp3”, “.wma” , “.m4a” can be recognized as MP3/

WMA/AAC and played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the “.mp3” file extension. Be sure to WMA

files with the “.wma” file extension. Be sure to save AAC files with the “.m4a” file extension. The

“MP” letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as uppercase letters or

lowercase letters.

CAUTION

If the “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.m4a” file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3/WMA/AAC file,

that file will be mistakenly recognized by the main unit as an MP3/WMA/AAC file and played,

resulting in loud noise output that can damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the “.mp3”,

“.wma”, “.m4a” file extension to files that are not MP3/WMA/AAC files.

How to operate the CD/MP3/WMA/AAC player

Multi-sessions

Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3/WMA/

AAC files is possible. However, if files have been written onto a disc using “Track at once”, close the

session or perform the finalization process. Standardize the format so that it does not change with

each session.

Precautions during MP3/WMA/AAC playback

When a disc with recorded MP3/WMA/AAC files is inserted, the main unit first checks all the files on

the disc. No sound is output while the main unit is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended

that the disc be recorded without files other than MP3/WMA/AAC files and without unnecessary

folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the main unit.

MP3/WMA/AAC playing time display

It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3/

WMA/AAC file.

*It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.
