MP3 audio „ What is MP3? MP3 (the name is an abbreviation of
‘MPEG Audio Layer 3’) is a compression
format for digital audio. It was developed
by the Motion Picture Experts Group. It
permits audio data to be shrunk by a factor
of approximately 10 with no loss of sound
quality, meaning that the audio on 10 con-
ventional CDs can be fitted onto a single
CD-R or CD-RW (assuming a bit rate of
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz).
NOTE y MP3 encoding and writing software
is not supplied with the audio system.
y CD writing software is not supplied
with the audio system.
„ Creating MP3 files y To create a high-quality MP3 file, it is
advisable to have a high bit rate (128 kbps
or higher) and a high sampling frequency.
y If a file is created with a variable bit rate
(VBR), the elapsed time during playback
may not be displayed correctly and the
sound may skip.
y The sound quality during playback de-
pends upon the encoder and bit rate. De- tailed information can be found in the us-
er’s manuals for encoder software and
writing software.
y A fixed bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended.
„ Saving MP3 files on a disc y Do not save any non-MP3 file on a disc.
Also, do not save any unnecessary folder
on a disc.
y If many folders and/or non-MP3 files are
saved on a disc, a delay will be caused be-
fore playback begins.
y If a disc contains both Compact Disc-
Digital Audio (CD-DA) files and MP3 files,
the system will play only the CD-DA files.
y Add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the name of
every MP3 file. The system will not play
any file that has either no extension or an
extension other than ‘.MP3’.
y Do not add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the
name of any non-MP3 file. Doing so could
lead to speaker damage.
y The system supports multi-session re-
cording, so disc-at-once recording is rec-
ommended.
y The system does not support packet
writing software.
y The system does not have a playlist
function.
y The system may not be able to display
and play certain MP3 files depending on500034

5-43the writing software and CD recorder.
y Recording must be performed using a
file system supported by the audio sys-
tem. Otherwise, the audio system may not
play the MP3 files and may not display
folder titles and file titles.
„ Supported file systemsThe audio system supports the following
file systems:
y ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2
y Apple Extension to ISO 9660
y Joliet
y Romeo
NOTE The audio system does not support the
following file systems:
y Apple HFS
y UDF 1.50
y Mix CD (CD Extra)
„ Compression formaty MPEG 1 audio layer 3 (MP3)
Bit rate: 32 kbps – 320 kbps
Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
y MPEG 2 audio layer 3 (MP3)
Bit rate: 8 kbps – 160 kbps
Sampling frequency: 16, 22.05, 24 kHz „ Numbers of folders and files y Maximum number of folders: 255 (in-
cluding root folder)
y Maximum number of files: 999 (maxi-
mum number in one folder: 255)
y Maximum number of layers: 8
NOTE y Not all of the discs stored in MP3
files may be able to be played back.
y Even if a folder contains no MP3
files, it is counted as a folder.
y Writing software can rearrange fold-
ers and files such that the playback or-
der is different from the desired one.
y The playback order for a given disc
can be different with different players.
„ Copyright issues Except with respect to copies made for
personal use, duplication, distribution, and
transmission of music and other copy-
righted material on a disc without permis-
sion from the copyright holder is illegal.

11 - 1 2 Maintenance and service
Oil capacity (Guideline):
2.5-liter models: 4.2 US qt (4.0 liters, 3.5
Imp qt)
3.0-liter models: 5.8 US qt (5.5 liters, 4.8
Imp qt)
The oil quantity indicated above is only a
guideline. The necessary quantity of oil
depends on the quantity of oil that has
been drained. The quantity of drained oil
differs slightly depen ding on the tempera-
ture of the oil and the time the oil is left
flowing out. After refilling the engine with
oil, therefore, you must use the dipstick to
confirm that the level is correct.
13.Start the engine and make sure that no
oil leaks appear around the filter’s rubber
seal and drain plug.
14.Run the engine until it reaches the nor-
mal operating temperature. Then stop the
engine and wait a few minutes to allow the
oil drain back. Check the oil level again
and if necessary, add more engine oil.
„ Recommended grade and
viscosity Oil grade:
ILSAC GF-4, which can be identified
with the ILSAC certification mark
(Starburst mark)
or API classification SM with the
words “ENERGY CONSERVING”
These recommended oil grades can be
identified by looking for either or both of
the following marks displayed on the oil
container.
ILSAC Certification Mark (Starburst
Mark) API Service label
1) Indicates the oil quality by API designa-
tions
2) Indicates the SAE oil viscosity grade
3) Indicates that the oil has fuel saving ca-
pabilities
In choosing an oil, you want the proper
quality and viscosity, as well as one that
will add to fuel economy. The following ta-
ble lists the recommended viscosities and
applicable temperatures.
When adding oil, different brands may be
used together as long as they are the
same API classifica tion and SAE viscosity
as those recommended by SUBARU.
Use only engine oil with the recom-
mended grade and viscosity. B00014
