About the MP3/WMA/AAC files  
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.  
When this key is touched again within about  
2 seconds, playback starts from the  
beginning of the previous track.  
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.  
Fast forward and fast backward  
1. Touch and hold the [{ (Track)] or [} (Track)]

Displaying MP3/WMA/AAC Tag titles  
Precautions when preparing a disc  
Tag information (track title, artist name, and  
album title) can be displayed for an MP3/WMA/  
AAC file containing the Tag information.  
This system supports the ID3 TAG version 1.x/  
2.x and WMA-TAG.  
Note:  
For details of the DivX file mentioned below, see  
“DivX Operations” (page 33).  
Logical format (File system)  
The following writing formats are available when  
writing MP3/WMA/AAC/DivX files on a disc:  
• For CD-R/RW: ISO9660 level 1/level 2,  
Romeo, Joliet, or Apple ISO (without including  
expansion format)  
• For DVD R/RW: UDF (Universal Disk Format)  
Folder structure  
• The folder hierarchy must be within 8  
hierarchical levels. Otherwise, playback will be  
impossible.  
• You can store the MP3 files, WMA files, and  
AAC files together in a disc or folder.  
• You can also store the MP3/WMA/AAC files  
and DivX files together in a disc or folder. In  
such a case, you can select whether the disc is  
regarded as an MP3/WMA/AAC disc or as a  
DivX disc. See “Setting the Playform of discs  
recorded with DivX files” (page 33).  
Note:  
Tag information entered with 2-byte characters  
may not be displayed properly on the display.  
The ID3 version 2.x tag format is not completely  
supported. This system can display information up  
to 60 bytes, and ignores the rest.  
Album titles of WMA-TAG may not be displayed  
properly.  
Precautions on the MP3/WMA/AAC  
files  
General precautions  
• 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.  
Number of files or folders  
• The maximum allowable number of folders is  
255 (including root directory).  
• The maximum allowable number of files in a  
folder is 255.  
Folder representation in the folder list  
• Files that the DRM (Digital Rights  
Management) function is set cannot be played.  
For MP3 files  
• Only folders containing MP3/WMA/AAC files or  
DivX files (1 to 4 in illustration) are displayed  
on the list. Folders containing no MP3/WMA/  
AAC/DivX file are not displayed.  
• Folder hierarchy (1 to 4 in illustration) is  
ignored, and unified into one level.  
• 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  
• Set the Bit Rate to:  
• 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.

About the DivX file  
What is DivX?  
DivX is a popular media technology created by  
DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly  
compressed video with high visual quality that  
maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files  
can also include advanced media features like  
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.  
Many DivX media files are available for download  
online, and you can create your own using your  
personal content and easy-to-use tools from  
DivX.com.  
The text will scroll once.  
Precautions on the DivX file  
• This system can play DivX version 4.x, 5.x, and  
6.x files. DivX Ultra is not supported.  
• Files other than DivX format (such as the Xvid  
files) cannot be played. In addition, some files  
may not be played because of the encoding  
format. When a file cannot be played, the next  
file is played instead.

NX509  
Note:  
• DivX VOD (Video-on Demand files) that have  
authorization data can also be played. These

General screen (see page 49).  
• Set the Frame Size to 640 480 or 320 240  
pixels.  
• Set the Frame Rate to 30 or 15 fps.  
• Add a file extension “.AVI”, “.avi”, “.DIVX”, or

When wiring the connecting cables in a  
vehicle with an airbag system, never feed  
the cables through a place where it may  
affect the operation of the airbag.  
An airbag not operating correctly in an  
emergency may cause increased injury.  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
Verify wires with a digital multi-meter prior  
to making any connections. Many new  
vehicles use multiplexed and/or low voltage  
circuits that can be damaged if a test light  
or logic probe is used.  
Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong  
connection is made, this may cause a fire or  
accident.

• Prepare all articles necessary for installing the  
main unit before starting.  
• This unit has a fan motor in the right side of the  
main unit so as not to raise the temperature in  
the main unit. When the fan motor vent is  
covered with cords or mounting bracket, it may  
cause a malfunction. Be sure not to cover it  
when wiring cords. (Figure 5)  
• This model features an operation panel that  
slides forward.  
On some types of cars, the operation panel  
may make contact with the dashboard or  
gearshift lever, in which cause it cannot be  
installed. Before installing, check that the unit  
will not hamper operation of the gearshift lever  
or obstruct your view before selecting the  
installation location. (Figure 2)

can be inserted smoothly.  
*3 If a hook on the installation bracket interferes  
with the unit, bend and flatten it with a nipper or  
similar tool.

8. Installing the GPS Anttenna  
WARNING  
• Do not install the GPS antenna in a place where it may interfere with the operation of the  
airbag or hinder the driver’s visual range.  
• Do not use the navigation system with the GPS antenna cord cut off. The power cables in the  
cord may be short-circuited.  
Note:  
• The supplied GPS antenna is for installing inside the vehicle. Do not install it outside the vehicle.  
• Install the GPS antenna more than 50 cm away from the main unit, other audio devices such as CD player,  
and a radar detector. If it is installed near these devices, GPS reception may be impaired.  
• To improve the GPS signal reception, install the GPS antenna horizontally on a flat plane.  
• Do not wax or paint the cover of the GPS antenna. This may reduce the performance of the GPS antenna.  
• Install the GPS antenna at least 10 cm away from the windshield.  
• Wipe off the dirt of the mounting surface before installing the GPS antenna.  
• Stick the double-sided tape to the bottom face of the GPS antenna.
