matically search for a receivable station
and stop at the first one it finds. This func-
tion may not be available, however, when
radio signals are weak. In such a situation,
perform manual tuning to select the de- sired station. VScan tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (7) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
Press the “ ” or “ ” side of the SEEK
FLDR button (6) again to cancel the scan
mode and to stop on any displayed fre-
quency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills. T
Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button
allows you to select that station in a single
operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and FM2
stations each may be preset. T How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM” (2) or “AM” (1) button to
select FM1, FM2 or AM reception.
2. Press the “SCAN” button (7) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the preset buttons for
more than 1.5 seconds to store the fre-
quency. If the button is pressed for less
than 1.5 seconds, the preceding selection
will remain in memory.
NOTE y If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but- tons.y If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault. T Rear seat entertainment
If your vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment System, you can en-
joy audio outputs from the system through
the vehicle’s speakers by pressing the
“RSE AUX” button. Press the button again
to return to the audio set sound.

MP3 audio „What is MP3?
MP3 (the name is an abbreviation of
‘MPEG Audio Layer 3’) is a compression
format for digital audio. It was developed
by the Motion Picture Experts Group. It
permits audio data to be shrunk by a factor
of approximately 10 with no loss of sound
quality, meaning that the audio on 10 con-
ventional CDs can be fitted onto a single
CD-R or CD-RW (assuming a bit rate of
128 kbps and a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz).
NOTE y MP3 encoding and writing software
is not supplied with the audio system. y CD writing software is not supplied
with the audio system. „ Creating MP3 files
y To create a high-quality MP3 file, it is
advisable to have a high bit rate (128 kbps
or higher) and a high sampling frequency. y If a file is created with a variable bit rate
(VBR), the elapsed time during playback
may not be displayed correctly and the
sound may skip. y The sound quality during playback de-
pends upon the encoder and bit rate. De- tailed information can be found in the us-
er’s manuals for encoder software and
writing software.y
A fixed bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is
recommended. „ Saving MP3 files on a disc
y Do not save any non-MP3 file on a disc.
Also, do not save any unnecessary folders
on a disc. y If many folders and/or non-MP3 files are
saved on a disc, a delay will be caused be-
fore playback begins. y If a disc contains both Compact Disc-
Digital Audio (CD-DA) files and MP3 files,
the system will play only the CD-DA files.y Add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the name of
every MP3 file. The system will not play
any file that has either no extension or an
extension other than ‘.MP3’. y Do not add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the
name of any non-MP3 file. Doing so could
lead to speaker damage. y The system does not support multi-ses-
sion recording, so disc-at-once recording
is recommended. y The system does not support packet
writing software. y The system does not have a playlist
function.y The system may not be able to display
and play certain MP3 files depending on

the writing software and CD recorder. yRecording must be performed using a
file system supported by the audio sys- tem. Otherwise, the audio system may not
play the MP3 files and may not display
folder titles and file titles. „ Supported file systems
The audio system supports the following
file systems: y ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2
y Apple Extension to ISO 9660
y Joliet
y Romeo
NOTE
The audio system does not support the

Numbers of folders and files

NOTE yNot all of the discs stored in MP3
files may be able to be played back. y Even if a folder contains no MP3
files, it is counted as a folder.y Writing software can rearrange fold-
ers and files such that the playback or-
der is different from the desired one. y The playback order for a given disc
can be different with different players. „ Copyright issues
Except with respect to copies made for
personal use, duplication, distribution, and
