NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than ap-
propriate discs into the CD player.
The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio − it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range, and the farther you
are from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stations — General-
ly, the ef
fective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multipath — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping — If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.

MP3/WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio
compression standards.
The MP3/WMA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD−ROM, CD−R
and CD −RW discs.
The unit can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.wma).
The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as
MP3 or WMA files. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropri-
ate file extensions.
The player can play only the first ses-
sion using multi −session compatible
CDs.
MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver.
2.3 formats. The unit cannot display
disc title, track title and artist name in
other formats.
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as
track title, artist name.
The emphasis function is available
only when playing MP3/WMA files re-
corded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The
system can play MP3 files with sam-
pling frequencies of 16, 22.05, and 24
kHz. However, the emphasis function
is not available for files recorded at
these frequencies.)
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit rate-
s. In order to achieve a reasonable lev-
el of sound quality, discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are rec-
ommended.
Playable bit rates
MP3 files:
MPEG1 LAYER3—64 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LSF LAYER3—64 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver. 7, 8 CBR—48 to 192 kbps
Ver. 9 CBR—48 to 320 kbps
The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs re-
corder using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using “pre −mastering” software
rather than packet− write software.
The m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the au-
dio player.
The MP3 player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
fast−forward or reverse operations are
used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous lev-
els of folders. For this reason, we rec-
ommend creating discs with no more
than two levels of folders.
It is possible to play up to 192 folders or
255 files on one disc.

CDR AND CDRW DISCS
CD−R/CD−RW discs that have not
been subject to the “finalizing process”
(a process that allows discs to be
played on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played.
It may not be possible to play CD −
R/CD−RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD− R disc.
Recordings on CD −R/CD−RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.

CARING FOR YOUR CD PLAYER AND
DISCS
Your CD player is intended for use with
12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperature can keep
your CD player from working. On hot
days, use air conditioning to cool the
vehicle interior before you listen to a
disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD player skip.
If moisture gets into your CD player,
you may not hear any sound even
though your CD player appears to be
working. Remove the discs from the
CD player and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD player uses an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the unit. Be sure to operate
the player correctly.

NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, trans-
parent/translucent, low quality or
labeled discs such as those shown
in the illustrations. The use of such
discs may damage the player or
changer, or it may be impossible to
eject the disc.
This system is not designed for use
of Dual Disc. Do not use Dual Disc
because it may cause damage to
the player.
If a disc cannot be ejected, do not
forcibly take out the disc. Keep
pushing the “ ” button for
approximately 5 seconds and re-
lease it. At this time, the audio disc
and the map DVDROM will be
ejected.

Correct Wrong
Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend the-
m. Avoid getting fingerprints on them,
particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc
up to the light.)
Remove discs from the players when
you are not using them. Store them in
their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat, and direct sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a
soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-
ened with water. Wipe in a straight line
from the center to the edge of the disc (not
in circles). Dry it with another soft, lint−free
cloth. Do not use a conventional record
cleaner or anti −static device.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on−demand to
CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding track −re-
lated information in an MP3 file. This em-
bedded information can include the track
title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, com-
ments and other data. The contents can
be freely edited using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although the tags are re-
stricted to the number of characters, the in-
formation can be viewed when the track is
played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title,
artist name.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD−ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are two lev-
els of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character
file names, with a 3 character file exten-
sion. File names must be composed of
one−byte capital letters and numbers. The
“_” symbol may also be included.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark “.” and file
extension). Each folder must contain few-
er than 8 hierarchies.
m3u—
Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3—
MP3 is an audio compression standard de-
termined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about
1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA—
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft. It compresses files into a size smaller
than that of MP3 files. The decoding for-
mats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8, and 9.
