CD player FORD MUSTANG 2002 4.G User Guide

²Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension.
The player recognizes an MP3 file by the .mp3
extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played.Never save a
non-MP3 file with the .mp3 extension as the
file will not play properly and damage may
occur to the player or your sound system.
²The player supports multi session discs. However,
be sure to import the previous session of the disc
before you add new files. If you do not import the
previous session, only the last session will be
played.
²When burning a disc, ensure that you
close/finalize the disc before playback, or the disc
may not play properly or an error message may
appear.
²The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic
Music) discs.

CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12cm audio compact discs only. Due to
technical incompatibility, certain recordable
and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD
players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a
scratch protection film attached, and CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not
be inserted into the CD player. The label may
peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade CDs be identified
with permanent marker rather than adhesive
labels. Please contact your dealer for further
information.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE CD PLAYER
(IF EQUIPPED)
The laser beam used in the compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.
Entertainment Systems

If sound skips:
²You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
²A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
a disc.
²The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
²The disc is dusty or defective.
²The player's internal temperature is above 60ÉC
(140ÉF). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
²A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS
The MACHtMP3 music system is designed for use
with CD-DA (regular audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660 and Joliet
standards.
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
²Disc capacity Ð Each disc contains about 650 MB
of storage capacity. We do not recommend using
high capacity discs containing 700MB of storage.
²Disc type Ð Some CD-RW discs may operate
inconsistently and may cause an error message to
appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto
CD-R discs.
²Disc finalization Ð The disc may be left open for
the purpose of adding sessions to it at a later
time, but be sure to close each session or the disc
will not play.
²Bit rate Ð The player supports bit rates from
56±320 kbps, as well as variable bit rate MP3 files,
but lower bit rates will have a noticeable effect on
Entertainment Systems
63

sound quality and are recommended only for
speech or low fidelity music material. We
recommend that you encode MP3 files using a
high quality encoder.
²PC configuration Ð Encoding MP3 files requires
intensive use of your computer's resources. Follow
the PC configuration recommendations of the
encoder software vendor. We recommend that you
avoid running other software applications on your
PC during MP3 encoding to avoid undesirable
noise and distortion.
CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If
necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD
cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge.
Do not use circular motion.
CD, MP3 AND CD PLAYER CARE
²Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
²Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources for extended periods of time.
²Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of
the CD player (if equipped).
²Always store discs out of direct sunlight.
Excessive heat may damage or warp discs.
²Use care when handling and playing CD-R and
CD-RW discs, which are more susceptible to
damage from heat, light and stress than are
regular CDs.
²Always insert and remove a disc by holding the
disc flat, with the playing surface facing down, in
order to prevent damage to the disc or the player.
²Never insert any object other than a compact disc
into the player, as doing so may damage the
player and may cause injury to you.
Entertainment Systems

²Do not disassemble the player. The laser used in
disc playback is extremely harmful to the eyes.
Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or
sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into
the CD player as jamming may occur. Damage
incurred by adhesive materials of any kind or
non-standard discs may void the warranty.
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER (IF EQUIPPED)
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning
cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to
maintain the best sound and operation.
CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
²Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less.
²Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high
humidity, extreme heat or extreme cold. Allow
tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
²Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or
pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
²Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
²Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a
long time when not being played.
