Notes on MP3/WMA

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media™ Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The former is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media (This figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).

Note:

• MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not supplied with this unit.
• CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files

Common

• High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended for high quality sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended because playing time is not displayed properly and sound may be skipped.
• The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of your own encoding software and writing software.

MP3

It is recommended to set the bit rate to "128 kbps or more" and "fixed".

WMA

It is recommended to set the bit rate to "64 kbps or more" and "fixed".
- Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file to enable this unit to play back.
- WMA Version 9 is supported. However, the new functions in Version 9 (WMA pro, Loss-less, and the combination of 64 kbps and 48kHz ) are excluded.

Caution: Never assign the“.mp3”, or“.wma” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.

• With some software in which MP3/WMA format files have been encoded, the character information may not be displayed properly.
• Undisplayable characters and symbols will be converted into an asterisk(※)

Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-media

• You are recommended to minimize the chances of making a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
• If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA files, the songs may not play in the intended order, or some songs may not play at all.
• When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same disc, use different folders for each data.
• Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and unnecessary folder on a disc.
• The name of MP3/WMA file should be added by rules as shown in the following descriptions and also comply with the rules of each file system.
• You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or

displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with certain writing software or CD recorders.

• The file extension“.mp3” or“.wma” should be assigned to each file depending on the file format.
• This unit does not have the play list function.
• Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.

Supported file systems

• You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
• CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.
• Some CD-R/RWs can not be played back successfully thanks to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
• This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.
• This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.
• Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.

The demonstration screen displayed and no operable

Noise

Noise is made in step with engine revolutions.

Some operations are not executable.

Possible cause Possible solution

The power cord (battery, ACC and ground) is connected in the wrong way. Check the wiring.
Fuse blowout
Eliminate the cause of fuse blowout and replace the fuse with new one. Consult your dealer.

MUTE is set to ON
Set MUTE to OFF.

There is contact between the external mute lead and the chassis.
Connect the external mute lead correctly. If the lead is unused, insulate it.
