With some applications used to encode
WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-
rectly.
Depending on the version of Windows
Media Player used to encode WMA files,
album names and other text information
may not be correctly displayed.
There may be a slight delay when starting
playback of WMA files encoded with image
data.
This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/
WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Disc recordings compatible with
level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the
Romeo and Joliet file system can be played
back.
It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible
with packet write data transfer.
The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a file name, including
the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,

ters can be displayed.
When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV
files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-
EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types
can be played only by switching mode be-
tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.
The folder selection sequence for playback
and other operations becomes the writing

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.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). 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:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
The sound quality of WAV files generally be-
comes better with a larger number of quanti-
zation bits. This unit can play recordings with
8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM) quantiza-
tion bits, but in order to be able to enjoy sound
of a certain quality, we recommend using
discs recorded with the larger number of
quantization bits.

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®.

Connecting the Units
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 connectors of the same colors
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.
DEH-P3700MP
•
•
•
•
•
•
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.
If you ground the products together and the ground
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the
products or fire.

No ACC position
•
•
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod-
ucts such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the ground
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the
products or fire.
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.
