MP3/WMA files
z MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and
WMA (Windows Media Audio) are
audio compression standards.
z The MP3/W MA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
The unit can play disc recordings
compatible with ISO 9660 level 1
and level 2 and with the Romeo and
Joliet file system.
z The USB player can play MP3 and
WMA files on USB memory device.
z When naming an MP3 or WMA file,
add the appropriate file extension
(.mp3 or .wma).
z The MP3/W MA player and USB
player play back files with .mp3
or .wma file extensions as MP3 or
WMA files. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the appropriate
file extensions.
z The player can play only the first
session using multi-session com-
patible CDs.
z MP3 files are compatible with the
ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2,
Ver. 2.3 and Ver. 2.4 formats. The
unit cannot display disc title, track ti-
tle, artist name, and so on in other
formats.
z WMA files can contain a WMA tag
that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA tags carry informa-
tion such as track title, artist name.
z The emphasis function is available
only when playing MP3/W MA files
recorded at 22.05, 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz. (The system can play MP3
files with sampling frequencies of 8,
11.025, 12, 16 and 24 kHz. How-
ever, the emphasis function is not
available for files recorded at these
frequencies.)
z The sound quality of MP3/W MA files
generally improves with higher bit
rates. In order to achieve a rea-
sonable level of sound quality, discs
and USB memory device recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps
are recommended. Playable bit rates
MP3 files:
MPEG1 LAYER3—32 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LAYER3—8 to 160 kbps
MPEG2.5 LAYER3—8 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver. 7, 8, 9—32 to 320 kbps
z The MP3/W MA player does not play
back MP3/W MA files from discs re-
corder using packet write data
transfer (UDF format). Discs
should be recorded using
“pre-mastering” software rather than
packet-write software.
z The m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio player.
z MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not compatible
with the audio player.
z The MP3 player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
z When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the
play time will not be correctly dis-
played if fast-forward or reverse op-
erations are used.
z It is not possible to check folders
that do not include MP3/W MA files.
z MP3/W MA files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. How-
ever, the start of playback may be
delayed when using discs containing
numerous levels of folders. For this
reason, we recommend creating
discs and USB memory device with
no more than two levels of folders.
z It is possible to play up to 255 fold-
ers or 999 files on one disc and USB
memory device.

z The play order of the compact disc
and USB memory device with the
structure shown above is as follows:

CD-R and CD-RW discs
z CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not
been subject to the “finalizing proc-
ess” (a process that allows discs to
be played on a conventional CD
player) cannot be played.
z 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 charac-
teristics, scratches or dirt on the disc,
or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
z It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer
depending on the application set-
tings and the environment. Record
with the correct format. (For details,
contact the appropriate application
manufacturers of the applications.)
z CD-R/CD-RW discs may be dam-
aged by direct exposure to sunlight,
high temperatures or other storage
conditions. The unit may be unable
to play some damaged discs.
z If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
player, playback will begin more
slowly than with a conventional CD
or CD-R disc.
z Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.

Caring for your CD/DVD player and
discs
z Your CD/DVD player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
z Extremely high temperature can
keep your CD/DVD player from
working. On hot days, use air con-
ditioning to cool the vehicle interior
before you listen to a disc.
z Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD/DVD player skip.
z If moisture gets into your CD/DVD
player, you may not hear any sound
even though your CD/DVD player
appears to be working. Remove
the discs from the CD/DVD player
and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
z CD/DVD player uses an invisible
laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be
sure to operate the player cor-
rectly.
z Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation ex-
posure.

► Correct ► Wrong
z Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend
them. Avoid getting fingerprints on
them, particularly on the shiny side.
z Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes,
or other disc damage could cause
the player to skip or to repeat a sec-
tion of a track. (To see a pin hole,
hold the disc up to the light.)
z Remove discs from the player when
you are not using them. Store them
in their plastic cases away from
moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft,
lint-free cloth that has been dampened
with water. Wipe in a straight line from
the center to the edge of the disc (not in
a circle). Do not use a conventional
record cleaner or anti-static device.

Files in a USB memory device
If there are many files other than MP3 or
WMA files in the USB memory device, it
may take time to search for an MP3 or
WMA file, adversely affecting the smooth
operation of the device. (It is recom-
mended that files other than .mp3
or .wma are not stored in these memory
devices.)
USB memory devices with external
power sources
Vehicles with smart entry and start sys-
tem —
USB memory devices with external
power sources such as USB audio de-
vices may not be recognized correctly
even if the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned to ACCESSORY or
IGNITION ON mode. In this case, turn
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
again, or remove the USB memory de-
vice and then plug it in again.
Vehicles without smart entry and start
system —
USB memory devices with external
power sources such as USB audio de-
vices may not be recognized correctly
even if the engine switch is turned to the
“ACC” or “ON” position. In this case,
turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position again, or remove the USB
memory device and then plug it in again.

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-related information in an MP3 file.
This embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album title,
the music genre, the year of production,
comments and other data. The contents
can be freely edited using software with
ID3 tag editing functions. Although the
tags are restricted to the number of char-
acters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a W MA 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
levels of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character
file names, with a 3 character file extension.
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 charac-
ters (including the separation mark “.” and
file extension). Each folder must contain
fewer than 8 hierarchies.
m3u—
Playlists created using “WINAMP” software
have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3—
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined 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 de-
coding formats for W MA files are Ver. 7, 8,
and 9.
