Audio system operating hints

NOTICE

CAUTION

To ensure correct audio system oper-

ations:

Compact disc players use an invisible

laser beam which could emit hazardous

radiation exposure if directed outside

the unit by incorrect operation or un-

authorised repair. Be sure to operate the

player correctly.

D Be careful not to spill beverages over

the audio system.

D Do not put anything other than a com-

pact disc into the slot.

D The use of a cellular phone inside or

near the vehicle may cause a noise

from the speakers of the audio system

which you are listening to. However,

this does not indicate a malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION

FM broadcasts have a range of about 40 km.

When driving away from a station you may

have to fine-tune your radio and turn up the

volume as the station gets weaker. Because

FM uses a line-of-sight signal, tall buildings

or hills may sometimes block reception.

These are all normal characteristics of FM

reception and do not indicate any problem

with the radio itself.

D Use only compact discs marked as shown

above. The following products may not be

playable on your compact disc player.

your compact disc player from working.

On hot days, use the air conditioning to

cool the vehicle interior before you listen

to a disc.

D CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been

subject to the “finalising process” (a pro-

cess that allows discs to be played on a

conventional CD player) cannot be played.

unit.

make your compact disc player skip.

D If moisture gets into your compact disc

player, you may not hear any sound even

to be working. Remove the disc from the

player and wait until it dries.

AUDIO SYSTEM

D It may not be possible to play discs re-

corded on a personal computer depending

on the application settings and the environ-

ment. Record with the correct format. (For

details, contact the appropriate application

manufacturers of the applications.)

D 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.

D 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.

Transparent/translucent discs

NOTICE

Do not use special shaped, transparent/

translucent, low quality or labelled

discs such as those shown in the il-

lustrations. The use of such discs may

damage the player or changer, or it may

be impossible to eject the disc.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft,

lint-free cloth that has been dampened with

water. Wipe in a straight line from the centre

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.

MP3/WMA FILES

D MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA

(Windows Media Audio) are audio com-

pression standards.

D Handle compact discs carefully, especial-

ly when you are inserting them. Hold them

on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid

getting fingerprints on them, particularly

on the shiny side.

D The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and

WMA files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-

RW discs.

The unit can play disc recordings com-

patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level

2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file

system.

D Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or

other disc damage could cause the player

to skip or to repeat a Section of a track.

(To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the

light.)

D When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add

the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or

.wma).

D Remove discs from the compact disc

player when you are not listening to them.

Store them in their plastic cases away

from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

D The MP3/WMA player plays back files

with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3

or WMA files. To prevent noise and play-

back errors, use the appropriate file ex-

tensions.

D Multi-session compatible CDs can also be

played.

AUDIO SYSTEM

D MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag

Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3

formats. The unit cannot display disc title,

track title and artist name in other for-

mats.

D 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.

D It is not possible to check folders that do

D 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,

artist name.

not include MP3/WMA files.

D 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 levels of fold-

ers. For this reason, we recommend

creating discs with no more than two le-

vels of folders.

D The emphasis function is available only

when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at

32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system can

play MP3 files with sampling frequencies

of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz. However, the

emphasis function is not available for files

recorded at these frequencies.)

D It is possible to play up to 192 folders or

255 files on one disc.

D 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.

packet write data transfer (UDF format).

Discs should be recorded using “pre-

mastering” software rather than packet-

write software.

audio player.

D MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for-

mats are not compatible with the audio

player.
