AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere,
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere 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
broadcast.
Static - AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical noise,
such as high tension power lines,
lightning, or electrical motors. This
results in static.

resuming use.
The audio may skip due to violent
vibrations when the car is traveling
across harsh roads. Never insert foreign objects into the
disc insertion slot.
Do not insert a wet disc into the
player.
This player uses an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed
outside the player. Be sure to
operate the player correctly.
Playback may not be possible due
to recording conditions or disc
characteristics, scratches, dirt,
or deterioration.
Usable Discs

Do not use commercially available
accessories (such as CD rings,
protectors) that are said to improve
sound quality or are effective
against vibrations. They may come
off inside the device, causing the
disc to become unplayable or
unretrievable and lead to
malfunction.
MP3/WMA Files

standard format for sound
compression technology.
By using MP3, a file can be
compressed to one-tenth the size of
the original.WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a
Microsoft sound compression
format. It can compress sounds to a
smaller size than the MP3.

Media
Media such as CD-R and CD-RW
discs are capable of playing MP3/
WMA files. Compared to the
CD-ROM media commonly used for
music discs, CD-R and CD-RW
discs are easily damaged in high
temperature/high humidity
environments and part of the CD-R
and CD-RW may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or
scratches on the disc may prevent
playback or cause skipping during
playback. Sections of a CD-R or
CD-RW may deteriorate if it is left
inside a vehicle for long periods of
time. It is also recommended that
CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in
a light-resistant case because the
discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet
light.

File Names
Only files with the MP3/WMA file
extension mp3, .wma can be
recognized as MP3/WMA and
played. Be sure to save MP3 files
with the mp3 file extension. Be sure
to use the .wma file extension when
saving WMA files. The MP letters of
the file extension will be recognized
whether entered as uppercase
letters or lowercase letters.
If the .mp3 or .wma file extension is
attached to a file other than an MP3/
WMA file, that file will be mistakenly
recognized by the deck as an MP3/
WMA file and played, resulting in
loud noise output that can damage
the speakers. Be sure to avoid
attaching the mp3 or .wma file
extension to files that are not MP3/
WMA files.
Multi-Sessions
Does not support multi-session.
When the disc used is a
multi-session disc, only the first
session will be played.Playing MP3/WMA
When a disc with recorded MP3/
WMA files is inserted, the player
first checks all the files on the disc.
No sound is emitted while the player
is checking the files on the disc. It is
recommended that the disc should
be recorded without files other than
MP3/WMA files and without
unnecessary folders in order to
speed up the checking of disc files
by the player.
MP3/WMA Playing Time Display
It is possible that playing time will
not be correct, depending on the
writing condition of the MP3/WMA
file or when VBR Fast Up/Down is
operated.
Display Order of MP3/WMA File/
Folder Names
Names of MP3/WMA folders and
files within the same level are
displayed in the following order.
1. MP3/WMA folders displayed first, by ascending order of
numbers, letters. The files stored just below the root of the
disc will be stored in the ROOT
FOLDER.
2. Files displayed next, by ascending order of numbers,
letters. It is assumed here that
a disc has already been loaded
into the unit.
This unit reconfigures the folders
created by a user as shown below.
