AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Compact Disc (CD) player
CAUTION
Do not force a compact disc into the
CD insert slot. This could damage the
CD and/or CD changer/player.
Trying to load a CD with the CD door
closed could damage the CD and/or
CD changer.
During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidify or ventilate the player com-
pletely.
The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the passenger compartment
temperature is extremely high. De-
crease the temperature before use.Only use high quality 4.7 in (12 cm)
round discs that have the “COMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or
packaging.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.CDs that are of poor quality, dirty,
scratched, covered with fingerprints, or
that have pin holes may not work prop-
erly.
The following CDs may not work prop-
erly:
Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
Do not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunction.
3.1 in (8 cm) discs
CDs that are not round
CDs with a paper label
CDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges
This audio system can only play prere-
corded CDs. CDs with MP3 or WMA
format cannot be written in this audio
system.
If the CD cannot be played, one of the
following messages will be displayed.

CHECK DISC:
Confirm that the CD is inserted cor-
rectly (the label side is facing up,
etc.).
Confirm that the CD is not bent or
warped and it is free of scratches.
PUSH EJECT:
This is a malfunction due to excessive
temperature inside the player. Remove
the CD by pushing the EJECT button.
After a short time, reinsert the CD. The
CD can be played when the temperature
of the player returns to normal.
UNPLAYABLE:
The file is unplayable in this audio sys-
tem (only MP3 or WMA CD in the audio
system with a CD changer).
Compact Disc (CD) with MP3 or
WMA (for the audio system with a
6CD changer)Explanation of terms:
MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near “CD
quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size ofnormal audio files. MP3 conversion of an
audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the file
size by approximately 10:1 ratio (Sampling:
44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression
removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of
a sound signal that the human ear doesn’t
hear.
WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression than
the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more
digital audio tracks in the same amount of
space when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits
per second used by a digital music file. The
size and quality of a compressed digital audio
file is determined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is
the rate at which the samples of a signal are
converted from analog to digital (A/D conver-
sion) per second.
Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a singlesession, and writing more than once is called
a multisession.
ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital music
file such as song title, artist, album title,
encoding bit rate, track time duration, etc.
ID3 tag information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

Troubleshooting guide:
Symptom Cause and Countermeasure
Cannot playCheck if the disc was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be
played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and num-
ber of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of
MP3/WMA writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc is protected by copyright.
Poor sound qualityCheck if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Bit rate may be too low.
It takes a relatively long time be-
fore the music starts playing.If there are many folder or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the
music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skipsThe writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song
when playing.When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by
copyright protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order.The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not play in the
desired order.
