Handling of Discs
This explains care that should be taken in
the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
• Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its content
being more difficult to read. When holding
the disc, grip both edges, or one edge
and the center hole, in order that the read
surface is not touched.
• Do not affix paper or stickers,
or otherwise damage the disc.
• Do not forcefully insert a disc if a disc is
already within the device. This can result in
damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
• Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a circular
motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from
the center of the disc to the outer edge.
• New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the center.
Ensure you check for these. If there are
burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
• When not using discs, ensure these are kept
in cases, and stored out of direct sunlight.
• If discs are not going to be used for a long
period of time, remove these from the
product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter
when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turning
the heater on and immediately trying to use
the product may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on the disc and internal
optical components, and this may prevent the
product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.
Copyright
Actions such as unauthorized reproduction,
broadcast, public performance, or rental of

What Is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Motion
Picture Experts Group”, and this is a video
compression standard used in video CDs, etc.
MP3 is one of the audio compression methods
contained in the MPEG audio standard, and
reduces the quality of sounds that are beyond
the auditory resolution of the human ear
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus
creating high-quality data with a lower data
size.
Because this can compress CD audio to
approximately 1/10 its original data size
without perceptible loss, approximately 10
CDs can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTION
• MP3 files different to the standards at
right may not play back correctly, or
file/folder names may not be displayed
correctly.
Standards for MP3 Files That Can Be Played Back
Specifications for MP3 files that can be played are as below.
