WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard  
audio file format for Windows®.  
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,  
from the first character.  
The maximum number of characters which  
can be displayed for a folder name is 64.  
In case of files recorded according to the  
Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-  
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  
sequence used by the writing software. For  
this reason, the expected sequence at the  
time of playback may not coincide with the  
actual playback sequence. However, there  
also is some writing software which per-  
mits setting of the playback order.

It may not be possible to play back CD-R/  
CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-  
corder or a personal computer because of  
disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on  
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc., on the  
lens of this unit.

This unit plays back WMA files encoded by  
Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8 and  
9.  
!
!
You can only play back WMA files in the fre-  
quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.  
The sound quality of WMA files generally  
becomes better with an increased bit rate.  
This unit can play recordings with bit rates  
from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48  
kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be  
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we  
recommend using discs recorded with a  
higher bit rate.  
Important  
!
!
When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add  
the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,  
.wma or.wav).  
This unit plays back files with the filename ex-  
tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/  
WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-  
tions, do not use these extensions for files  
other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.

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 WINAMPsoft-  
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-  
tists 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  
_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 .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.

Additional Information  
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®.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-  
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using  
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.

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.  
This product conforms to CEMA cord colors.  
Le code de couleur des câbles utilisé pour ce produit est  
conforme à CEMA.  
Los colores de los cables este producto se conforman  
con el código de colores CEMA.  
ACC position  
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.

Removing the Unit (Fig. 5) (Fig. 6)  
Before making a final installation of the unit, tem-  
porarily connect the wiring to confirm that the con-  
nections are correct and the system works proper-  
ly.  
If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal,  
the unit might not give its optimum performance.
