Notes on playing MP3/WMA  
Note, however, that the MP3/WMA recording  
media and formats acceptable are limited. When  
writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following  
restrictions.  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3/WMA  
up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional  
writing. For recording on an empty disc up to the  
maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.  
Acceptable media  
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this  
unit are CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format  
to prevent malfunction.  
Play mode may not be possible when portions of the  
functions of Windows Media Player 9 or higher are used.  
Entering ID3 tag  
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version 1.x.  
For the character code, refer to the List of Codes.  
Acceptable medium formats  
The following formats are available for the media  
used in this unit. The maximum number of  
characters used for file and folder name including  
the delimiter (".") and three-character extension are  
indicated in parentheses.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)  
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)  
• Joliet (64 character; Up to 32 characters are  
displayed)  
• Romeo (128 character; Up to 64 characters are  
displayed)  
• Long file name (200 characters; Up to 64  
characters are displayed)  
• Maximum number of characters for folder name:  
64 (Joliet; Up to 32 characters are displayed)  
For a list of available characters, see the instruction  
manual of the writing software and the section  
Entering file and folder names below.  
The media reproducible on this unit has the  
following limitations:  
Entering file and folder names  
The code list characters are the only file names and  
folder names that can be entered and displayed.  
If you use any other character for entry, the file and  
folder names are not displayed correctly. They may  
neither be displayed correctly depending on the CD  
writer used.  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA  
which have the MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).  
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8  
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255  
• Maximum number of folders: 50  
A file with a name entered with characters not on the  
code list may not play correctly.  
Writing files into a medium  
• Maximum number of files and folders: 512  
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is  
loaded, the unit checks all the data on the medium.  
If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/  
WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the  
unit starts playing MP3/WMA.  
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the  
above may not be successfully played and their file  
names or folder names are not properly displayed.  
Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and  
CD writer  
Do the following setting when compressing  
audio data in MP3/WMA data with the MP3/WMA  
encoder.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move  
to the next MP3/WMA file or a File Search or Folder  
Search may not be performed smoothly.  
• Transfer bit rate: MP3: 8 —320 kbps  
WMA: 48 —192 kbps  
• Sampling frequency  
MP3: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz  
WMA: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to  
damage the speakers.  
Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3  
file with the MP3 extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3/WMA data as  
long as they have the MP3 extension.  
Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

MP3/WMA playing order  
When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search,  
or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed  
in the order in which they were written by the CD  
writer.  
Because of this, the order in which they are  
expected to be played may not match the order in  
which they are actually played. You may be able to  
set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played  
by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R  
with their file names beginning with play sequence  
numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your  
CD writer.

Installation Procedure  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with  
one with the same rating.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove  
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the  
terminals.  
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.

to installation, place this unit in a horizontal position  
and perform a loading/eject of the CD.  
Installation  
Install onto the car bracket using the supplied  
screws (M5 × 6 mm, M5 × 7 mm). The holes of the  
car bracket to use will differ depending on the car  
model.  
When a ground wire is included in the wiring kit (which  
is sold separately), fasten the ground wire with the  
binding screw located on the rear panel of this unit.
