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.

44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be

played back.)

There is no m3u playlist compatibility.

There is no compatibility with the MP3i

(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.

The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-

comes better with an increased bit rate.

This unit can play recordings with bit rates

from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be

able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we

recommend using only discs recorded with

a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge

into one another without a pause. When

these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/

WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/

CD-ROM, the files will be played back on

this player with a short pause between

each one, regardless of the length of the

pause between tracks on the original audio

CD.

WMA additional information

This unit plays back WMA files encoded by

Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8, 9

and 10.

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.

in the display may be rounded.

Appendix

Additional Information

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-

comes better with a larger number of quan-

tization bits. This unit can play recordings

with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)

quantization bits, but in order to be able to

enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-

mend using discs recorded with the larger

number of quantization bits.

Notes

This unit assigns folder numbers. The user

cannot assign folder numbers.

It is not possible to check folders that do not

include MP3/WMA/WAV files. (These folders

will be skipped without displaying the folder

number.)

MP3/WMA/WAV files in up to 8 tiers of folders

can be played back. However, there is a delay

in the start of playback on discs with numer-

ous tiers. For this reason we recommend

creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on

one disc.

Additional Information

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.

Terms

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps

(bits per second) units. 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:

The number of quantization bits is one factor

in the overall sound quality; the higher the

ꢂbit-depthꢃ, the better the sound quality. How-

ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases

the amount of data and therefore storage

space required.

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

Appendix

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 connections of the same col-

ors 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.

•

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.

The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead

separately from the ground of high-current prod-

ucts such as power amps.

•

ACC position

No ACC position

If you ground the products together and the ground

becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the

products or fire.

Fig. 1

•

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.

Installation

Note:

•

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.

(Fig. 4)

•

Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure

proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts

can cause malfunctions.

Consult with your nearest dealer if installation

requires the drilling of holes or other modifications

of the vehicle.

Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s

way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a

sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it

overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot —

for instance, near a heater outlet.
