Operation panel/Generalities  
For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.  
• The operation panel will operate properly in a  
temperature range of 0 to 60qC.  
• Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks,  
umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the  
internal circuitry.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any  
way. Doing so may result in damage.  
• Subjecting the operation panel to shocks may  
result in breakage, deformation or other  
damage.  
• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so  
may damage or deform the cabinet.  
• If a problem should occur, have the set  
inspected at your store of purchase.  
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space  
between the operation panel and the main unit  
when the panel is tilted.  
• The remote control unit may not work if the  
remote control sensor is exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
• In extremely cold weather, the display  
movement may slow down and the display may  
darken, but this is not a malfunction. The  
display will work normally when the  
temperature increases.  
• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid  
crystal panel are normal for LCD products.  
• The touchkeys on the display operate when  
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey  
screen with much force.  
• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey  
panel with much force. This may cause  
malfunctioning of the touchkeys.  
Cleaning  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft and dry cloth and gently wipe off the  
dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral  
detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe  
off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry  
cloth.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc.,  
as these substances may damage the cabinet  
or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber  
or plastic products in contact with the cabinet  
for long periods of time may cause stains.  
Cleaning the liquid crystal panel  
The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so  
wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The  
surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with  
hard objects.

Precautions on the MP3/WMA/AAC  
files  
About the MP3/WMA/AAC files  
General precautions  
What is MP3/WMA/AAC?  
MP3, WMA, and AAC are the audio file formats  
which have penetrated into PC users and  
become a standard format.  
• Files other than MP3/WMA/AAC format cannot  
be played. In addition, some files may not be  
played because of the encoding settings.  
When a file cannot be played, the next file is  
played instead.  
• Some noise may occur depending on the type  
of encoder software used to encode the data.  
• You can apply the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)  
format when encoding. In this case, the  
displayed play time may be slightly different  
from the actual play time.  
• Files that the DRM (Digital Rights  
Management) function is set cannot be played.  
For MP3 files  
• Set the Sampling Frequency to:  
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz  
• MPEG2 Layer3: 16, 22.05, or 24 kHz  
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8, 11.025, or 12 kHz

MP3 is an audio compression method and  
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.  
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio  
compression method developed by Microsoft  
Corporation.  
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a newer audio  
compression method developed for used with  
video compression standards MPEG-2 and  
MPEG-4, and has been adopted as the standard  
audio format of the iPod and iTunes by Apple Inc.  
These features compress the original audio data  
to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high  
sound quality. This means that about 10 audio  
CDs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc to  
allow a long listening time without having to  
change CDs.  
• MPEG1 Layer3: 32 to 320 kbps (VBR)  
• MPEG2 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)  
• MPEG2.5 Layer3: 8 to 160 kbps (VBR)  
• Add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” using  
single byte characters.  
For WMA files  
• Set the Sampling Frequency to within ranges  
from 22.05 to 44.1 kHz.  
• Set the Bit Rate to 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, or  
192 kbps.  
• Add a file extension “.WMA” or “.wma” using  
single byte characters.  
For AAC files  
• This system supports only the MPEG4 Audio  
files encoded by the iTunes.  
Displaying MP3/WMA/AAC Tag titles  
Tag information (track title, artist name, and  
album title) can be displayed for an MP3/WMA/  
AAC file containing the Tag information.

7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING  
1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.  
2. Be particularly careful where you route the  
wires.  
5. Connect the CeNET extension cable fully and  
securely until it locks. When the CeNET  
extension cable is pulled, hold the slide cap  
part and pull it towards you. (Figure 9)  
• When you want to extend the CeNET cable,  
use extension cable CCA-520 (2.5 m) or  
CCA-521 (0.6 m) (each of them is sold  
separately).  
Keep them well away from the engine, and  
exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the  
wires.  
3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the  
wiring is correct.  
If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of  
the same amperage rating as the original  
(15A FUSE).
