6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in circles).
Dry it with another soft, lint-free cloth. Do
not use a conventional record cleaner or
anti-static device.
 CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
 It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW 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
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applica-
tions.)
 CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
 If you insert a CD-RW disc into the 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. 

■CORRESPONDING SAMPLING
FREQUENCY
■CORRESPONDING BIT RATES
(Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compatible)
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com-
pression standards.
 This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
on CD-R, CD-RW discs and USB memory.
 This system can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2
and with the Romeo and Joliet file system.
 When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add
an appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/
.m4a).
 This system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
 This system can play only the first session
when using multi-session compatible CDs.
 MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 for-
mats. This system cannot display disc
title, track title and artist name in other for-
mats.
 WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/AAC
tag that is used in the same way as an ID3
tag. WMA/AAC tags carry information
such as track title and artist name.
 The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
 This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit
rate of at least 128 kbps are recom-
mended.
 The MP3/WMA player does not play back
MP3/WMA files from discs recorded using
packet write data transfer (UDF format).
Discs should be record ed using “pre-mas-
tering” software rather than packet-write
software.
 M3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for-
mats are not compatible with the audio
player.

The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
 When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward or reverse operations are used.
 It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8 lev-
els deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels
of folders. 
The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
 The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is writ-
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments, cover art and
other data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3 tag editing
functions. Although the tags are restricted
to a number of characters, the information
can be viewed when the track is played
back.
 WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title
and artist name.
 This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 lev-
els of regulations.
 Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character
file extension. File names must be com-
posed of one-byte capital letters and num-
bers. The “_” symbol may also be
included.)
 Level 2: The file name can have up to 31
characters (including the separation mark
“.” and file extension). Each folder must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies. 
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
 WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Microsoft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9. This product is protected by certain
intellectual property rights of Microsoft
Corporation and third parties. Use or dis-
tribution of such technology outside of this
product is prohibited without a license
from Microsoft or an authorized Microsoft
subsidiary and third parties.
 AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology standard used with MPEG2 and
MPEG4.

command.)
● Voice commands may not be recognized
if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice
commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.

2. CASUAL SPEECH RECOGNIZATION
Due to natural language speech recog-
nition technology, this system enables
recognition of a command when spo-
ken naturally. However, the system
cannot recognize every variation of
each command. In some situations, it
is possible to omit the command for the
procedure and directly state the de-
sired operation. Not all voice com-
mands are displayed in the function
menu.
INFORMATION
●If the command cannot be recognized
completely, the command input screen
will be displayed. (Search results will be
shown based on the part of the com-
mand that was recognized.)
