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 LAYER3Ð64 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LSF LAYER3Ð64 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver. 7, 8 CBRÐ48 to 192 kbps
Ver. 9 CBRÐ48 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-masteringº 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.
001.mp3
002.wma

003.mp3
Folder 2
004.mp3

CD-R AND CD-RW DISCS
CD-R/CD-R W discs that have not
been subject to the finalizing processº
(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-R W 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-R W 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 CHANGER,
DVD CHANGER AND DISCS
Your CD changer and DVD changer is
intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.)
discs only.
Extremely high temperature can keep
your CD changer and DVD changer
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 changer and DVD chan-
ger skip.
If moisture gets into your CD changer
and DVD changer, you may not hear
any sound even though your CD
changer and DVD changer appears to
be working. Remove the discs from the
CD changer and DVD changer and
wait until it dries.
CAUTION
