Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be 
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or 
intersection.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should 
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may 
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information 
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent 
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are 
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic 
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize 
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance 
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead 
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe 
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the 
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the 
voice guidance for the second may be late.

nOperating tips for MP3
l
This audio system handles MP3 files that 
have been recorded on CD-R/CD-RW/CD-
ROMs. Discs that have been recorded 
using the following formats can be played:
• ISO 9660 level 1
• ISO 9660 level 2
• Joliet extended format
• Romeo extended format
l This unit handles MP3 files conforming to 
the MP3 format containing both header 
frames and data frames.
l If a disc has both music data (CD-DA) and 
MP3 files, playback of the two file types 
differs depending on how the disc was 
recorded.
l Packet written discs cannot be played on 
this unit.
l This unit does not play CDs recorded 
using MP3i (MP3 interactive), MP3 PRO 
and RIFF MP3 formats. Specialized glossary
MP3
Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”.
A technical standard for audio compression 
as decided by an ISO (International 
Organization for Standardization) MPEG 
working group.
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be 
compressed to approximately a tenth of the 
source data size.
ISO 9660
An international standard for logical 
formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.
It is divided into three separate levels based 
on differences in file naming procedures, 
data configuration and other characteristics.
Bit rate
Refers to the volume of data per second, 
expressed in bps (bits per second).
Generally, the larger the number of the 
transfer bit rate when compressing an MP3 
file, the more information regarding musical 
reproduction it carries, and therefore the 
better the sound quality.
Packet writing
A general term for the method, similar to that 
used for floppy discs or hard drives, of 
recording the required file in a single 
increment on a CD-R and similar.

nCD-TEXT
Music CDs are available in which separate 
music data including album/title names, 
music name, artist name, and other textual 
information can be recorded. The data stan-
dard for recording textual information to 
these kinds of music CDs is termed CD-
TEXT.
There are two regions of a CD where textual 
information can be recorded which include 
regions related to the entire CD (Attributes 
recorded for the entire CD) and individual 
track regions (Attributes recorded for individ-
ual tracks). As for this audio unit, textual information 
(Album/artist information), which can be 
recorded on individual track regions, 
appears on the display. Textual information 
(Artist and other information), which can be 
recorded to regions related to the entire CD, 
does not appear on the display.
Unless all the textual information is input in 
one-byte characters, a dotted line (----) will 
appear in place of the textual information, 
even if one of the characters is not a one-
byte character (Two-byte character).
