About RDS

The marking of products using lasers

(Except for some areas)

RDS (Radio Data System)

When listening to an RDS station, the program

service name of the station is displayed,

advising you quickly which station is being

received.

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also

transmit alternative frequency data for the

same station. When you are making long trips,

this function automatically switches to the

particular frequency with the best reception

for the particular network of stations that you

want to listen to. The data is automatically

stored, allowing you to switch quickly to

another RDS stations, broadcasting the same

program, that has better reception. These

include stations stored in the station preset

memory that you often listen to.

The label is attached to the chassis/case and

says that the component uses laser beams

that have been classified as Class 1. It means

that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are of

a weaker class. There is no danger of

hazardous radiation outside the unit.

This Product is not installed by the

manufacturer of a vehicle on the production

line, nor by the professional importer of a

vehicle into an EU Member State.

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other

Network> also transmit information about

other RDS stations that have traffic

information. When you are tuned to a station

that is not transmitting traffic information, but

another RDS station starts transmitting a

traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically

switches to the other station for the duration

of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing

disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are

interrupted to allow the warning to be

received.

Notes on playing MP3/WMA(KDC-PSW9521)/ MP3(KDC-M907/KDC-M9021)

This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2 Audio Layer 3)/WMA. Note,

however, that the MP3/WMA recording media and formats

acceptable are limited. When writing MP3/WMA, pay attention to

the following restrictions.

Entering ID3 tag and Contents

Description

The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version

1.x.

For the character code, refer to the List

of Codes.

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.

Entering file and folder names

The code list characters are the only file

Acceptable medium formats

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 following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The

maximum number of characters used for file name including the

delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in

parentheses.

The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3/WMA which have the

MP3/WMA extension (.MP3/.WMA).

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

• Joliet (64 characters)

• Romeo (128 characters)

A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list

may not play correctly.

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.

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:

• Maximum number of directory levels: 8

• Maximum number of files per folder: 255

• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64

• Maximum number of folders: 50

Writing files into a medium

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.

In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next

MP3/WMA file or a Track Search or Album Search may not be

performed smoothly.

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.

Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.

• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file

with the MP3/WMA extension.

The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data as long as

they have the MP3/WMA extension.

Settings for your MP3/WMA encoder and CD writer

Do the following setting when compressing audio data in WMA data

with the WMA encoder.

• Transfer bit rate: 64k —192 kbps

• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3/WMA.

• Sampling frequency: 32k, 44.1k, 48k Hz

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.
