MP3/WMA OPERATION

Instructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for DVD and MP3 operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video Operation section for information about these topics.

Media and File Requirements

This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make sure it is formatted using the full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal disc operation.

Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a disc for a DVD music mix. Do not exceed this number of songs/files or disc readability problems may occur.

MP3 Format Compatibility

The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:

• ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters
• ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters
• Joliet – 64 characters

If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it may not be displayed or played back correctly. Use the following settings when compressing audio data for your MP3 disc:

• Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps
• Sampling Frequency: 48kHz

When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the "Disc at once" setting.

MP3 Playing Order

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".

For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, as shown below.

    B --> C["3"]

    note right of G: Level 6
    note right of H: Level 7
    note right of I: File
    note_right_of_J["Root"]

The VM9114 player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.

Inserting a USB Device

NOTE: The USB port will recognize most USB flash memory devices and portable hard drives (hard drives must be formatted to FAT32 and NTFS is not supported).

1. Locate the USB connector (14) on the front of the radio.

1. Lift the protective cover to reveal the USB slot.
2. Insert the USB device into the USB connector. The unit will read the audio/video files on the USB device automatically.

To remove the USB device, press the SRC button (10) or use the SOURCE MENU to switch to another mode, and then remove the USB device from the connector.

Playing MP3/WMA Files

After inserting a MP3/WMA disc, files will play in the sequence of the "Root" directory.

NOTE: When burning MP3 / WMA files onto a DVD disc, use the 2X or 4X burning option, if available. This slower burning speed will help eliminate buffer errors and increase disc reading reliability. Also, use folders when burning large numbers of songs / files to a disc for easy music navigation. Select the "Disc at Once" option and close your disc.

Stopping Playback

Touch the ■ button to stop disc play.

To resume playback, touch the▶/|| button.

Pausing Playback

Touch the ▶/|| button to suspend or resume disc play.

Moving Through Tracks

Touch the ◀ button to move to the previous track.

Repeat Playback

Touch the button to alter repeat mode according to the following: Repeat Single, Folder Repeat, Repeat Off.

NOTE: CD-R and CD-RW will not play unless the recording session is finalized.

Direct Track Entry

Touch the ■ button to access files directly (see "Direct Track Entry" on page 28).

Care and Maintenance

1. Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to clean the front panel or monitor. A rough cloth and non-neutral detergent (such as alcohol) may result in scratching or discoloration.

2. Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

3. If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit automatically stops play of the disc. If this occurs, allow the unit to cool before operating the player again.

4. Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.

5. Do not attempt to use a 3" (8 cm) CD-Single disc in this unit, either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage is not covered by the Warranty on this product.

6. The CD player may not operate properly in extreme hot or cold. If such conditions occur, allow the interior of the vehicle to reach a normal temperature before using player.

7. When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, condensation may appear on the TFT panel. Should this occur, the screen will not operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.
8. We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more frequently than in the unit in your home due to the environmental conditions of the vehicle.
