• 6ch/6V RCA Output / 53W X 4 Built-in MOSFET Amplifier
  • Built-in LPF/HPF

2. PRECAUTIONS

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater moisture may form on the disc or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

CAUTION

USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR COMPLIANCE COULD VOID THE USER'S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.

Motorized Face

This unit uses motorized face to make large-screen displays possible.

When you use the motorized face, be sure to close it.

CAUTION

BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET YOUR FINGERS CAUGHT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE MOTORIZED FACE.

1. For safety's sake, always close the MOTORIZED FACE before leaving this unit unused for a prolonged period or switching OFF the ignition key.
   If you switch OFF the ignition key with the MOTORIZED FACE tilted, the MOTORIZED FACE does not close.

2. Before the MOTORIZED FACE closes, there may be a braking sound from the safety mechanism. This is normal.

3. If you move the MOTORIZED FACE by hand, this may create play. To correct this play, with the power on for the unit, press the [▲] button to close the MOTORIZED FACE.

4. After a disc is ejected, the MOTORIZED FACE automatically returns to the tilted or closed state. If there is any obstruction when the MOTORIZED FACE tries to close, the safety mechanism is triggered and the MOTORIZED FACE returns to the open state. If this happens, remove the obstruction, then press the [▲] button.
5. To avoid scratching the compact disk, keep the CD level when inserting or removing them.

Use only compact discs bearing the

mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may not be usable.

Handling

- Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high temperature and humidity and some of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in the car.

- New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the

sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

- Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

- Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

- Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

- To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

- Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

- Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

- Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

- Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

- To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.

- Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

● Compensation

There is no need to compensate frequency characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or valleys) when you have measured the frequency characteristics with a measuring device. However, sometimes the frequency characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this happens, the frequency characteristics must be compensated. Create a frequency curve having characteristics that are opposite to the center frequency of parts where the characteristics rise and fall to cancel out these peaks and values, and make the frequency characteristics as flat as possible.

Making the frequency characteristics as flat as possible is called "Compensation".

● Compensation of frequency characteristics

The figure below shows the relationship between the center frequency, gain and Q curve.

Q curve

The Q curve becomes sharper when the numerical value is increased, and smoother when the numerical value is decreased.

Flat frequency characteristics can be made by selecting a Q curve opposite to that of the curve to be compensated.

MP3/WMA/AAC

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.

This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

- If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output (The WMA indicator blinks).

- Windows Media™, and the Windows ® logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

● To disable DRM (Digital Rights Management)

1. When using Windows Media Player 8, click on TOOLS → OPTIONS → COPY MUSIC tab, then under COPY SETTINGS, unclick the check box for PROTECT CONTENT. Then, reconstruct files.

2. When using Windows Media Player 9, click on TOOL → OPTIONS → MUSIC RECORD tab, then under Recording settings, unclick the Check box for RECORD PROTECTED MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.

Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.

What is AAC?

- AAC is an acronym for “Advanced Audio Coding” and refers to the audio compression method used with video compression standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

- AAC files composed with the following conditions can be played:

• AAC files encoded with iTunes.
• iTunes Ver. 7.0 or earlier.

• File extension ".m4a" (".M4A")

• Tracks purchased at an iTunes Music store, and copyright-protected files cannot be played.

• When playing AAC files that include image data, additional time may be required before playback begins.
• Files may not play properly, depending on the iTunes version under which an AAC file is encoded.

Precautions when creating MP3/WMA/AAC disc

● Usable sampling rates and bit rates

1. MP3: Sampling rate 8 kHz-48 kHz, Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR

2. WMA: Bit rate 32 kbps-192 kbps

3. AAC: Sampling rate 8 kHz-48 kHz, Bit rate 8 kbps-320 kbps / VBR

- File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” (.mp3), “.WMA” (.wma) or “.M4A” (.m4a) to MP3, WMA or AAC file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension, the file cannot be played.

2. Files without MP3/WMA/AAC data will not play. The indication “--:---” appears in the play time display if you attempt to play files without MP3/WMA/ACC data.

● Logical format (File system)

1. When writing MP3/WMA/AAC file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select "ISO9660 level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo or APPLE ISO" as the writing software format. Normal play may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and file name can be displayed as the title during MP3/WMA/AAC play but the title must be within 64 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals (including an extension).

3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder having the same name.
