Notes on MP3  
What is MP3?

S
H
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) is the compression format of digital audio. It is developed by MPEG (Motion  
Picture Experts Group). Using this compression format, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs  
on a single CD media. (This figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of  
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)  
Note:  
MP3 encoding and writing software are not supplied with this product.  
CD writing software is not supplied with this product.  
23  
Points to remember when making MP3 files  
High bit rate and high sampling frequency are  
recommended for high quality sounds.  
It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps  
or more” and “fixed”.  
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recom-  
mended because playing time is not displayed  
properly and sound may be skipped.  
The playback sound quality differs depending on  
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to  
the user manual of your own encoding software  
and writing software.  
Caution:  
Never assign the “.mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may not only  
produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.

Definition of Terms  
Digital audio output connector (Optical)  
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)  
The digital audio output connector (optical) converts  
electrical signals into optical signals and transfers  
them to the amplifier. Consequently, it has a number  
of features including its immunity from electrical  
interference from external sources and its ability to  
prevent the generation of noise and its minimal effect  
on the external environment.  
MPEG is an international standard format for the  
compression of motion video as defined by the  
Moving Picture Experts Group, a working  
committee which functions under the auspices of  
the International Standardization Organization and  
International Electrotechnical Commission. The  
Group established the MPEG 1 standard in 1991  
and the MPEG 2 standard in 1994. MPEG 2 builds  
on MPEG 1 with many improvements, and it yields  
a higher picture quality level.

Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique  
developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing  
Corporation.  
Pan & Scan screen  
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as  
stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a  
large quantity of sound data to be efficiently record-  
ed on a disc.  
This refers to a screen on which the playback  
picture of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs is cut off  
at the left and right sides.  
Manufactured under license from Dolby  
Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D sym-  
bol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.  
C
Confidential unpublished works.  
1992–1997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights  
reserved.  
Playback control (Video CD)  
If the Video CD has “With Playback Control” or  
others written on the disc surface or on the jacket,  
the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened  
to) can be selected interactively with the screen by  
looking at the menu shown on the screen.  
In these instructions, playback using the menu  
screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video  
CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback  
control.  
Interactive DVD  
An interactive DVD is DVD software which includes  
multiple angles, multiple plot endings, etc.  
Letterbox screen  
This refers to a screen on which the playback picture  
of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs appears with  
black bands running along the top and bottom.  
Title, Chapter (DVD)  
DVDs are divided into some large sections (titles)  
or some small sections (chapters). Each section is  
numbered; these numbers are called “Title number”  
or “Chapter number”.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
Chapter 1  
This refers to a signal recording format used in  
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,  
DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/  
24 bit, thus achieving higher quality audio than that  
of CDs.

Overview  
This product should be installed by a professional.  
However, if you plan to install this product yourself,  
your first step is to decide where to install it. The  
instructions in these pages will guide you through  
the remaining steps:  
(Please refer to the “WARNING” statement above.)  
Identify and label the car wires.  
Connect the car wires to the wires of the power  
connector.  
Check the operation of the product.  
If you encounter problems, please consult your  
nearest professional installer.  
37  
CX-D3000U  
Installation Guide (continued)  
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:  
Identify all leads  
The first step in installation is to identify all the car  
wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound  
system.  
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label  
it using masking tape and a permanent marker.  
This will help avoid confusion when making  
connections later.  
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car  
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb  
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed  
wires from the cut radio connector plug.  
E
N
G
L
I
S
H
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:  
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the  
battery which is usually marked BAT.  
29  
Note:  
Connect all leads  
Do not connect the power connector to the product  
until you have made all connections. If there are no  
plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires, insulate all  
exposed leads with electrical tape until you are ready  
to use them. Identify the leads in the following order.  
Now that you have identified all the wires in the car,  
you’re ready to begin connecting them to the DVD  
player wires. The wiring diagram (page 40) shows  
the proper connections and color coding of the  
leads.  
We strongly recommend that you test the unit  
before making a final installation.  
You can set the unit on the floor and make tempo-  
rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape  
to cover all exposed wires.  
Power Lead  
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:  
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug  
(leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you  
can work with individual leads.  
Important:  
Connect the red power lead last, after you have  
made and insulated all other connections.  
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and  
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.  
Ground  
Connect the black ground lead of the power  
connector to the metal car chassis.  
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the  
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.  
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet  
that causes the test bulb to light.  
Battery  
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio  
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.  
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb  
also turns off and on, that outlet is the car power  
lead.  
Power  
Connect the red power lead to the correct power  
cord according to your system configuration by  
referring to the wiring diagram.  
If the player functions properly with all these con-  
nections made, disconnect the wires and proceed  
to the final installation.  
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:  
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio  
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).  
Battery Lead  
If your DVD player has a yellow lead, you will need  
to locate the car’s battery lead. Otherwise you may  
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead  
provides continuous power to maintain a clock,  
memory storage, or other function.)

CX-D3000U  
Final installation  
Lead Connections  
Connect all wires, making sure that each  
connection is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose  
wires and fasten them with tape so they won’t fall  
down later.
