Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

Moisture Condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not

operate properly. In such a case, remove the

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the unit and CD. Sugary

residues on the unit or CD may contaminate

the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound

quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Type of discs Label on the disc

•Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the

equipment used for its recording or the

condition of the disc) may not play on this

unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW that is not

finalized*.

*A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW

disc to be played on the audio CD player.

Notes on discs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound

drop-outs during playback. To enjoy optimum

sound, handle the disc as follows.

Handle the disc by its edge, and to keep the

disc clean, do not touch the unlabeled surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Keep your discs in their cases or disc

magazines when not in use.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave

square, star) cannot be played on this unit.

Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do

not use such discs.

Audio CD

MP3 files

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files is as

follows:

Notes

• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is

skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a

longer time to start playback.

We recommend that you make only one or two

trees for each disc.

• Maximum folder number: 255

Maximum file number: 999

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the

folder or file name, input the order by number

(e.g., “01”, “02”), then record contents onto a disc.

(The order differs depending on the writing

software.)

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard

technology and format for compressing a

sound sequence. The file is compressed to

about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside

the range of human hearing are compressed

while the sounds we can hear are not

compressed.

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,

CD-Rs (recordable CDs), and CD-RWs

(rewritable CDs).

The disc must be in the ISO 9660*1level 1 or

level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the

expansion format.

You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.

*1ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard

for the logical format of files and folders on

a CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. In

Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format

(no more than eight characters in the name,

no more than three characters in the

extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters.

Folder names can be no longer than eight

characters. There can be no more than eight

nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications

allow file names up to 31 characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,

make sure the contents of the writing

software, etc.

*2Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables

adding of data using the Track-At-Once

method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD

control area called the Lead-in and end at an

area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is

a CD having multiple sessions, with each

segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded

as a single session.

Notes

• If MP3 files and Audio data are mixed in a disc,

the first identified file or data will be played

back.

• Except while formatting ISO 9660 level 1, folder

names or file names may not be displayed

correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension

“.MP3” to the file name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other

than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file

properly and will generate random noise that

could damage your speakers.
