Notes on playing MP3  
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,  
however, that the MP3 recording m edia and form ats acceptable are  
lim ited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following  
restrictions.  
Entering file and folder nam es  
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3  
extension (.MP3).  
Acceptable m edia  
Writing files into a m edium  
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,  
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the  
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-  
MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing  
MP3.  
and CD-RW.  
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent  
malfunction.  
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or  
a Track Search or Album Search may not be performed smoothly.  
Acceptable m edium form ats  
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.  
• ISO 9660 Level 1  
• ISO 9660 Level 2  
Joliet  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.  
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the  
MP3 extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have  
the MP3 extension.  
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.  
• Romeo  
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 folders: 50  
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be  
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not  
properly displayed.  
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD w riter  
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 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.

MP3 playing order  
When a Track Search is executed w ith file ¡$ being played ...  
When selected for play, Track Search, or for Folder Search, files and  
folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD  
writer.  
Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may  
not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able  
to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a  
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play  
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.

Handling Com pact Discs  
music CD to damage from high temperatures and  
humidity, and in some cases, may become  
unusable if left in the car for long periods of time.  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to  
them for a while, and put them back in their cases.  
Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their  
cases or prop them against something.  
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or  
w arped can cause the sound to skip and  
the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in  
w orsened sound quality. Take the  
follow ing precautions to prevent your CDs  
from getting scratched or dam aged.  
Do Not Load CD Accessories  
Do not use commercially available CD accessories  
that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as  
stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs,  
since they can cause the unit to malfunction.  
2CAUTION  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side  
opposite the label) when holding it.  
Cleaning CDs  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a  
commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft  
cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc  
and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with  
conventional record cleaners, anti-static formulas,  
or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.  
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit  
and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of  
special shape CDs may cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more  
fragile than that on an ordinary music CD, and may  
peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-  
RW are also more likely to cause skipping when the  
disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc  
very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will  
appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this  
information carefully before using the disc.  
Be sure to use CDs with disc mark  
only for this unit.  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone  
finalization processing cannot be played. (For more  
information on finalization processing, refer to the  
manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or  
CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on  
the recording status, it may prove impossible to  
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.  
When playing a new CD for the first time, check  
that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter  
of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs  
stuck on them may not load properly or may skip  
while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen  
or a similar utensil.  
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.  
Tape  
Do Not Use CDs w ith Sticker on the  
Labeled Side  
Burrs  
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on  
it.  
Burrs  
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be  
deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in  
malfunction of the unit.  
Storing CDs  
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct  
sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or  
other hot places.
