jam in the CD player or not play properly.

It may not be possible to play back CD-R/

CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-

corder or a personal computer because of

disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on

the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc., on the

lens of this unit.

Playback of discs recorded on a personal

computer may not be possible, depending

on the application settings and the environ-

ment. Please record with the correct for-

mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer

of the application.)

Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-

come impossible in case of direct exposure

to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-

rage conditions in the vehicle.

Titles and other text information recorded

on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-

data (CD-DA)).

This unit conforms to the track skip func-

tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks

containing the track skip information are

skipped automatically (in case of audio

Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or

warping before playing. CDs that have

cracks, scratches or are warped may not

play properly. Do not use such discs.

Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed)

surface when handling the disc.

Store discs in their cases when not in use.

Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do

not expose the discs to high temperatures.

Do not attach labels, write on or apply che-

micals to the surface of the discs.

To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft

cloth outward from the center.

If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,

time to playback will be longer than when

you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.

Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW

discs before using them.

If the heater is used in cold weather, moist-

ure may form on components inside the

CD player. Condensation may cause the CD

player to malfunction. If you think that con-

densation is a problem turn off the CD

player for an hour or so to allow it to dry

out and wipe any damp discs with a soft

cloth to remove the moisture.

Additional Information

This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/

WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-

tions, do not use these extensions for files

other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.

With some applications used to encode

WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-

rectly.

With some applications used to encode

WMA files, album names and other text in-

formation may not be correctly displayed.

This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/

WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW

discs. Disc recordings compatible with

level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the

Romeo and Joliet file system can be played

back.

It is possible to play back multi-session

compatible recorded discs.

MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible

with packet write data transfer.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a file name, including

the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,

from the first character.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a folder name is 64.

In case of files recorded according to the

Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-

ters can be displayed.

When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV

files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-

EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types

can be played only by switching mode be-

tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.

The folder selection sequence for playback

and other operations becomes the writing

sequence used by the writing software. For

this reason, the expected sequence at the

time of playback may not coincide with the

actual playback sequence. However, there

also is some writing software which per-

Notes

This unit assigns folder numbers. The user

selected.

MP3/WMA/WAV files in up to 8 tiers of folders

can be played back. However, there is a delay

in the start of playback on discs with numer-

creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on

one disc.

units (bits per second). The higher the rate,

the more information is available to reproduce

the sound. Using the same encoding method

(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better

the sound.

m3u

Playlists created using the ꢃWINAMPꢄ soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

ID3 tag

MP3

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

formation can include the track title, the ar-

tistꢁs name, the album title, the music genre,

the year of production, comments and other

data. The contents can be freely edited using

software with ID3 Tag editing functions.

Although the tags are restricted as to the num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an

audio compression standard set by a working

group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential

pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-

cording system used for the multimedia soft-

ware of Microsoft Corporation.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for-

mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the

ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the

following two levels.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al-

lows additional data to be recorded later.

When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or

CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is

treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-

sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English

capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

ꢃ_ꢄ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters.)

Level 2:

Number of quantization bits

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark ꢃ.ꢄ and a file ex-

tension). Each folder contains less than 8

hierarchies.

Extended formats

Joliet:

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

The number of quantization bits is one factor

in the overall sound quality; the higher the

ꢃbit-depthꢄ, the better the sound quality. How-

ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases

the amount of data and therefore storage

space required.

Packet write

This is a general term for a method of writing

on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,

just as is done with files on floppy or hard

discs.

VBR

VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally

speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more

widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit

rate according to the needs of audio compres-

sion, it is possible to achieve compression-

priority sound quality.

WAV

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

audio file format for Windows^®.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio

and refers to an audio compression technol-

ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using

Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
