Operating precautions  
Operating precautions  
<Your CD5423 will perform well over a long period of time through correct  
handling and care.>  
Notes on operation  
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be  
heard.  
• We recommend using with this player a disc with  
the logo shown to the left.  
• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this  
player. Be sure to use discs that have been  
properly processed.  
Depending on the editing equipment used, some  
discs may not play properly.  
• Do not insert anything other than a CD into the  
disc slot.  
Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or  
credit cards, into the disc slot. Be especially  
watchful of children’s mischief in this regard.  
• Avoid severe mechanical shock.  
When the player is subjected to severe vibration  
while traveling over a rough surface, playback  
may be intermittent. When a situation like this  
occurs, resume playback after returning to a  
smoother road.  
• About dew condensation.  
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass  
surface gets fogged, dew (water condensation)  
may also settle on the deck. When this occurs,  
disc playback may become intermittent or  
impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a  
while before resuming playback.  
• Cleaning the disc slot.  
The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it  
occasionally to prevent accumulated dust from  
scratching the discs.

10  
Operating precautions  
About compact discs  
• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so  
nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a  
badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent  
playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound  
performance:  
• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot  
for very long; the disc may warp. Discs  
should be stored in their cases and kept  
away from high temperature and humidity.  
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor  
write on or scratch either side of a disc.  
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck.  
Keep cracked or warped discs out of the  
player to avoid damaging it.  
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when  
handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.

11  
Operating precautions  
About brand new CDs  
About CD accessories  
• You may notice that some brand  
new discs are rough around the  
center hole or outside edge.  
Remove the rough edges with  
the side of a ballpoint pen, etc.  
Rough edges may prevent  
proper loading in the deck.  
Flakes from the rough edges  
may also stick to the recorded  
surface and interfere with  
playback.  
• Do not use accessories  
(stabilizers, protective seals, laser  
lens cleaners, etc.) sold for  
“improving sound performance”  
or “protecting CDs.” The changes  
in CD thickness or outside  
dimensions made by these  
accessories may cause problems  
in the player.  
Rough Edges  
Ballpoint  
pen  
• Please be sure NOT to attach any  
ring-shape protector (or other  
accessory) to your discs. Those  
protectors are commercially  
available and said to protect disc  
and to improve sound quality  
(and antivibration effect), but they  
can do more harm than good in  
regular uses. The most common  
problems are Insert/Eject related  
problems and "No playback"  
problems due to the protector  
ring that came off in the disc  
mechanism.

Operating precautions  
About borrowed CDs  
About irregularly-shaped CDs  
• Specially-shaped CDs, like  
heart-shaped or octagonal CDs,  
cannot be played. Do not  
attempt to play them, even with  
an adapter, since they may  
damage the player.  
• Do not use a CD with glue or  
remnants of adhesive tape or  
labels. They may cause the CD  
to get stuck inside or damage  
the deck.  
How to remove CDs  
• When removing the ejected disc,  
pull it straight out along the slot.  
Pressing downward in the  
process may scratch the  
recorded surface of the disc.  
OKAY  
About cleaning a CD  
• Use a commercially available compact disc  
cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the  
center to the edge.  
• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray  
or other cleaners on CDs. They may damage  
a CD’s finish.

How to operate the MP3 player  
How to operate the MP3 player  
MP3 files can only be played when E-COM is connected.  
About MP3  
The making of MP3 files by recording from sources such as  
broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and live performances  
ATTENTION  
without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than  
personal enjoyment is prohibited.  
What is MP3?  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression  
technology. By using MP3, a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size  
of the original.  
This deck has limitations on MP3 file standards and recorded media and  
formats that can be used.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
• Supported standards: MPEG-1 Audio Layer III  
MPEG-2 Audio Layer III  
• Supported sampling frequencies: 22.05, 44.1 (kHz)  
• Supported bit rate: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128 (kbps)  
* Does not support free format.  
• Supported channel modes: stereo, joint stereo, monaural  
ID3 tags  
MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data  
such as song title and artist can be saved.  
This deck supports ID3v.1.0 and ID3v.1.1 tags.

How to operate the MP3 player  
Media  
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM and CD-R discs.  
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs  
are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section  
of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches  
on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback.  
Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of  
time. It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking  
case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.  
Format of discs  
The format of discs to be used must be ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.  
Control items for this standard are as follows:  
• Maximum characters for folder names/file names: 15  
• Allowable characters for folder names/file names: A~Z, 0~9, _ (underscore)  
• Number of files possible on a single disc:  
65535*1

How to operate the MP3 player  
File names  
Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognized as MP3 and  
played. Be sure to save MP3 files with the ".mp3" file extension. The "MP"  
letters of the file extension will be recognized whether entered as  
uppercase letters or lowercase letters.  
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an  
MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly recognized by the deck as  
Caution  
an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can  
damage the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3" file  
extension to files that are not MP3 files.  
Multi-sessions  
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R disc with annotated MP3  
files is possible. However, when "Track at once" has been written, close the  
session or process the warning message. Standardize the format of each  
session without changing format.  
Playing MP3  
When a disc with recorded MP3 files is inserted, the deck first checks all the  
files on the disc. Checking of the files will be completed within 10 seconds  
of disc insertion, and the first MP3 file will begin playing. If the disc check is  
not completed within 10 seconds, the player will go into standby mode. No  
sound is output while the deck is checking the files on the disc. It is  
recommended that the disc be recorded without files other than MP3 files  
and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc  
files by the deck.  
Display order of MP3 file/folder names  
Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the  
following order.  
1. MP3 folders displayed first, by ascending order of numbers, letters.  
2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers, letters.

FM reception characteristics  
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM  
and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems  
not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a  
moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to  
expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory  
performance.  
FM RECEPTION DIFFERS FROM AM  
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies  
travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM’s  
(similar to a ray of light): they won’t bend but they will reflect.  
Often, they will be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc.,  
taking direct and indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The  
distance at which FM stations can be received satisfactorily is  
usually not nearly as far as that which AM stations can be  
received.  
AM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
FM Radio Waves  
Ionosphere  
FADING OUT  
In weak signal or “fringe” reception areas, FM stations may  
fade out completely, or fade in and out. When driving in weak  
signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels,  
among tall buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise  
interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. In this case,  
you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune  
to a stronger station, or reduce the treble level.

How to operate the tuner  
RECEPTION AREA OF FM BROADCASTS  
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the  
use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving  
vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of  
varying conditions encountered while driving, including the  
types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal  
strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual  
antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.  
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High  
Effective Radiation Power 1kW  
FM Stereo Auto Radio 20 km  
FM Monaural Auto Radio 50 km  
Home FM Stereo Receiver 100 km  
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM  
station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.  
MULTIPATH  
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another  
problem called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of  
buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct  
and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the  
treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding  
voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to  
another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the  
situation.

How to use an optional Card remote control  
Precautions in use of the remote control  
• Be careful when handling the control, especially because it is  
small and light. Dropping or striking it hard may damage it,  
wear out the battery or cause a malfunction.  
• Keep the remote control free of moisture, dust and water. Do  
not subject it to shock.  
• Do not place the remote control unit where it will get hot, such  
as on the dashboard or near a heater vent. Allowing the  
remote control unit to overheat may warp its case or cause  
other problems.  
• Do not operate the remote control unit while driving because  
doing so could cause an accident.  
• When using the remote control, point it directly at the remote  
control light receptor.  
• The light receptor may not operate correctly if it is exposed to  
bright light such as direct sunlight.  
• Be sure to press the [PWR] button on the main unit for more  
than two seconds to shut it down before leaving the car, or the  
car battery may be run down. When the main unit is shut down,  
the remote control will not work.  
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit whenever it  
is not to be used for a long time.  
Cleaning the remote control  
• Use a dry cloth to keep the unit clean. If the remote control unit  
gets extremely dirty, clean it with a cloth moistened in dilute  
liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or thinner; these  
compounds may damage the finish.  
• In no event should benzine or thinner be used. These  
substances will damage the case or finish.
