Operating Instructions
- Use only in a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical system.
- Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal while mounting and connecting the unit.
- When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with an identical amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating may cause serious damage to the unit.
- DO NOT attempt to disassemble the unit. Laser beams from the optical pickup are dangerous to the eyes.
- Make sure that pins or other objects do not get inside the unit; they may cause malfunctions, or create safety hazards such as electrical shock or laser beam exposure.
- If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.
- Keep the volume at a level at which you can hear outside warning sounds (horns sirens, etc.).
CD Notes
- Playing a defective or dusty CD can cause dropouts in sound.
- Hold CDs as illustrated.
• DO NOT touch the unlabeled side. - DO NOT attach any seal, label or data protection sheet to either side of a disc.
- DO NOT expose a CD to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
- Wipe a dirty CD from the center outward with a cleaning cloth. Never use solvents such as benzine or alcohol.
- This unit cannot play 3-inch (8cm) C Ds.
- NEVER insert a 3-inch CD contained in the adapter or an irregularly shaped CD. The unit may not be able to eject it, resulting in a malfunction.


Before operation
- DO NOT raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
- Stop the car before performing any complicated operation.
CAUTION
DO NOT open covers and do not repair by yourself. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

M P3 Overview
Note on M 3P
- MP3 is the acronym for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.
- This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM (CD-R or CD-RW discs).
- The unit can read M P3 files written in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
However it does not support the M B data written by the method of packet write. - The unit can not read an M B file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".
- If you play a non - MP3 file that has the ".mp3" extension, you may hear some noise.
- In this manual, we refer to what are called "M B file" and "folder" in PC terminology as "track" and "Album", respectively.
• Maximum number of directory level is 8, including the root directory. Maximum number of files and folders per disc is 256. - The unit may not play tracks in the order of track numbers.
- The unit plays only the audio tracks if a disc contains both audio tracks and MP3 files.
- When playing a disc of 8k bps or *VBR, the elapsed playing time in the display window will not be correct and also the intro play may not function properly. *VBR: Variable Bit Rate.
Note on creating your own CD-Rs or CD-RWs containing MP3 files
• To enjoy high quality sound, we recommend converting to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
- DO NOT store more than 256 M P3 files per disc.
- For ISO 9660 - compliant format, the maximum allowable depth of nested folders is 8, including the root directory (folder).
- When CD-R disc is used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized.
- Make sure that when M P3 CD-R is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an audio disc.
- You should not write non-MP3 files or unneeded folders along with MP3 files on the CD-R otherwise it takes a long time until the unit starts to play MP3 files.
- With some CD-R media, data may not be properly written depending on their manufacturing quality. In this case, data may not be reproduced correctly. High quality CD-R discs are recommended.
- Up to 16 characters are displayed for the name of an Album or a Track. I D3TAG version 1.x is required.
- Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you wrote them to the disc.
RDS ( Radio Data System )
RDS service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not available in you area, the following service is not available, either. The following functions are available when receiving RDS stations.

AF Mode : Press AF button less than 1 second to switch AF mode on and off. AF indication on LCD will flash until RDS information is received.
REG Mode : Press AF button more than 1 second to switch REG mode on and off. ON : The frequency is changed only for programs within the region.
OFF : The frequency is changed also for programs outside the region.



During FM mode when AF is on, radio seek, scan and AMS functions can only receive and save RDS program.
CT Service (Clock Time)
When receiving an RDS station, the CT (Clock Time) service automatically adjusts the time. NO CT is displayed in areas where CT service is not available.

When TA is turned on, SEEK, SCAN, AMS function can only be received or saved when traffic program identification (TP) code is received.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated by EON data. EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations, including that currently tuned in to. If you preset a station for from home, you will later be able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or any other station serving the same program, EON also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick receptions.
