Points to remember when recording an MP3 disc  
15  
This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable).  
What is MP3  
MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer-3, is a standard for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar  
media. It is one of the audio compression systems covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio  
compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without detracting from the sound quality  
by eliminating big sound waves within the sound range that is imperceptible to the human ear. This compression allows  
you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the  
contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW. (The 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.)  
Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file  
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.  
¡Bit rate 8 kbps of MPEG-2 and sampling frequency 16 kHz of MPEG-2 can not be reproduced.  
¡If set to VBR (Variable Bit Rate), the file playing time may not be displayed correctly.  
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate. For details refer to the user  
manual of your encoding software.  
Recording MP3 files on a CD-R/RW  
¡Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc. If many folders or files other than MP3s  
are recorded on a disc, it may take up to 150 seconds before playback starts, and you may have difficulties using  
fast forward and fast reverse.  
¡Use ISO 9660 file system (Extension of the ISO 9660 file systems are included.) APPLE HFS file system is not  
supported. If they do not conform to ISO 9660 file system, the file may not play normally, or the file or folder  
names may not be displayed correctly.  
¡Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name. A file with a different file name extension or none  
at all will not play.  
¡Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended. Make sure to close the  
session when you finished recording on a disc.  
¡ID3Tag character information is not displayed. A file in which character information was recorded by use of  
ID3Tag 2.0 or later version may not be reproduced normally. For example, the file playing time may not be displayed  
correctly.  
¡Packet writing software is not supported.  
¡A playlist function is not supported. Record files and folders in the order in which you want them to be played.  
Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a prefix in the range of “01” - “99”, etc. to the  
file name. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.  
Note: You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 files recorded with certain  
writing softwares or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).  
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 speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

Speaker Connections  
Caution: Please follow the instructions given below. Failure to do so will cause damage to the unit and speakers.  
25  
¡Use ungrounded speaker only.  
¡The maximum speaker output should be 45 W or more. (If used with  
the optional power amplifier, the speaker output should be higher than  
the maximum amplifier output.)  
¡The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 .  
¡This unit uses the BTCL circuit, so each speaker should be connected  
separately using parallel vinyl insulated cords.  
¡The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should be kept away  
(about 30 cm apart) from the antenna and antenna extension cord.  
¡Never connect the speaker cord to  
the body of the car.  
¡Do not use a 3-wire type speaker  
system having a common earth  
lead.  
¡Do not connect more than one  
speaker to one set of speaker  
leads.  
Fuse  
Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the unit  
directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the unit.  
If the replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest authorized Panasonic Service Center.

¡Do not bend disc.  
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.  
Do not use irregularly shaped discs.  
Do not leave discs in the following places:  
¡Direct sunlight  
¡Near car heaters  
¡Dirty, dusty and damp areas  
¡Seats and dashboards  
Do not use irregularly shaped discs.  
<Wrong>

Disc cleaning  
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.  
Caution on new discs  
A new disc may have rough edges on its inner and outer  
perimeter. These may cause malfunction.  
Remove the rough edges using a pencil, etc.  
Rough edge  
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.  
Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or  
ballpoint pen.  
Notes on CD-Rs/RWs  
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to  
their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.  
¡CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside  
a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.  
¡Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully thanks to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder  
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.  
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.  
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).  
¡Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
