Operating precautions  
<Your CD5425E will perform well over a long period of time through correct handling and care.>  
Notes on operation  
• For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard.  
• We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown  
to the left.  
• You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this player. Be sure to  
use discs that have been properly processed.  
Depending on the editing equipment used, some discs may not  
play properly.  
TEXT  
• Do not insert anything other than a CD into the head unit.  
Do not insert any foreign objects, such as coins or credit cards,  
into the disc slot. Be especially watchful of children’s mischief in  
this regard.  
• Avoid severe mechanical shock.  
When the player is subjected to severe vibration while traveling  
over a rough surface, playback may be intermittent. When a  
situation like this occurs, resume playback after returning to a  
smoother road.  
• About dew condensation.  
In cold or rainy weather, just as the interior glass surface gets  
fogged, dew (water condensation) may also settle on the deck.  
When this occurs, disc playback may become intermittent or  
impossible. Dehumidify the air in the vehicle for a while before  
resuming playback.  
• Cleaning the disc slot.  
The disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it occasionally to prevent  
accumulated dust from scratching the discs.

How to operate the CD player  
How to operate the CD player  
About compact discs  
• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface.  
A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or  
intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:  
III  
• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long; the disc  
may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away  
from high temperature and humidity.  
IV  
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape. Do not write on or scratch  
either side of a disc.  
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or  
warped discs out of the player to avoid damage it.  
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle  
discs by their edges.  
About brand new CDs  
Rough Edges  
• You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the  
centre hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the  
Ballpoint pen  
side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper  
loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to  
the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

Operation  
About CD accessories  
• Do not use accessories (stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens  
cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound performance" or "protecting  
CDs." The changes in CD thickness or outside dimensions made by  
these accessories may cause problems in the player.  
Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or other  
accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are commercially available  
and said to protect disc and to improve sound quality (and antivibration  
effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most  
common problems are disc insertion, disc ejections, and won't play  
problems due to the protector ring that came off in the disc mechanism.  
About borrowed CDs  
• Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get  
stuck inside or damage the deck.  
How to remove CDs  
• When removing the ejected disc, pull it straight out along the slot.  
Pressing downward in the process may scratch the recorded surface  
of the disc.  
OKAY  
About irregularly-shaped CDs  
• Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be  
played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they  
may damage the player.  
About cleaning a CD  
• Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD,  
wiping gently from the centre to the edge.  
• Do not use benzine, thinner, LP record spray or other cleaners on  
XXXX  
CDs. They may damage a CD’s finish.

About MP3  
ATTENTION  
The making of MP3 files by recording from sources such as broadcasts, records, recordings, videos and  
live performances without permission from the copyright holder for uses other than personal enjoyment is  
prohibited.  
What is MP3?  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By using MP3  
a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.  
This deck has limitations on MP3 file standards and recorded media and formats that can be used.  
Playable MP3 file standards  
• Supported standards:MPEG-1 Audio Layer III  
• Supported sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48 (kHz)  
Supported bit rate: 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320 (kbps)  
* Supports VBR. (64~320kbps)  
* Does not support free format.  
• Supported channel modes: stereo  
ID3 tag  
MP3 files have an "ID3 Tag" that allows input of information so that data such as song title and artist  
can be saved.  
This deck supports ID3v. 1.0, 1.1 tags.  
Media  
Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM media  
commonly used for music discs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high  
humidity environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may become incapable of  
playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during  
playback. Sections of a CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of  
time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW discs be kept in a light-blocking case because  
the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.

File names  
Only files with the MP3 file extension ".mp3" can be recognised as MP3 and played. Be sure to save MP3  
files with the ".mp3" file extension. The "MP" letters of the file extension will be recognised whether  
entered as uppercase letters or lowercase letters.  
CAUTION  
If the ".mp3" file extension is attached to a file other than an MP3 file, that file will be mistakenly  
recognised by the deck as an MP3 file and played, resulting in loud noise output that can damage  
the speakers. Be sure to avoid attaching the ".mp3" file extension to files that are not MP3 files.  
Multi-sessions  
Multi-sessions are supported, and playing of CD-R and CD-RW discs with annotated MP3 files is  
possible. However, when "Track at once" has been written, close the session or process the warning  
message. Standardise the format of each session without changing the format.

Operation  
Playing MP3  
When a disc with recorded MP3 files is inserted, the deck first checks all the files on the disc. No sound is  
output while the deck is checking the files on the disc. It is recommended that the disc be recorded without files  
other than MP3 files and without unnecessary folders in order to speed up the checking of disc files by the  
deck.  
MP3 playing time display  
It is possible that playing time will not be correct, depending on the writing condition of the MP3 file.  
*It is possible that playing time will not be correct when VBR Fast Up/Down is operated.  
Display order of MP3 file/folder names  
Names of MP3 folders and files within the same level are displayed in the following order.

FM reception characteristics  
In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter  
several characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a  
moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on how  
to get satisfactory performance.  
FM reception differs from AM  
A characteristic of transmitted signals is that lower frequencies  
AM Radio Wave  
travel further. FM frequencies are much higher than AM's (similar to  
a ray of light): they won’t bend but they will reflect. Often, they will  
be interrupted by tall buildings, mountains, etc., taking direct and  
indirect paths to your vehicle’s antenna. The distance at which FM  
stations can be received satisfactorily is usually not nearly as far as  
that which AM stations can be received.  
Ionosphere  
FM Radio Wave  
Ionosphere  
Fading out  
In weak signal or "fringe" reception areas, FM stations may fade out completely, or fade in and out.  
When driving in weak signal areas, such as near hills, through valleys or tunnels, among tall  
buildings, etc., you may encounter unusual noise interference. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM.  
In this case, you can only wait until you are in a better reception area, tune to a stronger station, or  
reduce the treble level.  
90 „  
How to operate the tuner  
Reception area of FM broadcasts  
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals  
through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive  
antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good  
reception is limited because of varying conditions  
encountered while driving, including the types and  
heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal strength,  
engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual  
antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.  
Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High  
Effective Radiation Power 1kW  
FM Stereo Car Radio 20 km  
FM Monaural Car Radio 50 km  
Home FM Stereo Receiver 100 km  
Reception quality varies depending on the power of  
the FM station, natural and artificial barriers, weather  
conditions, etc.  
VI  
Multipath  
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause  
another problem called multipath–FM wave signals  
reflecting off of buildings, mountains, etc. When the  
antenna receives direct and reflected waves at the  
same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often  
occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS  
IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another  
area with a clearer signal path can remedy the situation.

How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
About Sound Adjustment Mode  
This unit is equipped with various functions to compensate the acoustic characteristics inside the  
vehicle.  
The following adjustments can be made in the sound adjustment mode.  
• Crossover (FRONT/REAR/NON-FADER)  
• Switching the non fader phase.  
Crossover  
The frequency band that is stored by audio media such as CDs is a fairly wide range from 20 Hz to 20  
kHz, and it is difficult for a single speaker to be able to play back all frequencies in such a wide range.  
Because of this, several speakers can be used, with different frequency bands (such as treble,  
medium and bass) allotted to each speaker so that wide frequency ranges can be played back.  
The "Crossover" function is used to allot the frequency ranges that are to be played back by each  
speaker in accordance with the installed speaker units and the layout of the speakers, in order to  
obtain the maximum level of performance from the speakers and to provide the most stable  
frequency characteristics.  
The crossover function includes a high-pass filter (HPF) for playing back treble sounds, and a low-  
pass filter (LPF) for playing back bass sounds. In addition, the HPF and LPF are used in  
combination in order to play back sounds in the medium range.

fc2(HPF)  
fc3(LPF)  
fc4(HPF)  
fc*: Cutoff frequency  
For example, when adjusting the HPF, frequencies that are lower than the specified frequency are  
progressively dampened, rather than simply not being played back at all. The "slope" adjustment  
function is the function that is used to adjust these dampening characteristics.  
The slope characteristics of a filter are such that with larger slope values (for example 12 dB/oct),  
the slope becomes steeper, and so the amount of sound mixing in with neighboring bands becomes  
less so that only the target band is played back. However, it also causes the merging of sound  
between speakers to become poorer and can result in greater distortion.  
• The crossover function is a filter that allocates specified frequency bands.  
• A high-pass filter (HPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are lower than the specified  
frequency (bass range) and allows higher frequencies (treble range) to pass through.  
• A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are higher than the specified  
frequency (treble range) and allows lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through.  
• The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one octave higher or one octave lower  
are dampened.  
The larger the slope value, the greater the slope. In addition, when "PASS" is selected, the slope  
is eliminated (sound does not pass through the filters), so that the crossover function has no  
effect.  
110 „  
How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode  
When this deck is in normal mode, it corresponds to basic speaker systems which comprise front  
speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer. In such cases, the crossover can be used to apply the  
HPF to the front and rear speakers and the LPF to the sub-woofer so that the sound from all  
speakers merges properly. In addition to the 4 speaker system, in pro mode, the adjustments can be  
made to suit speaker system where the front speaker, rear speaker and non-fader output can be  
switched between Hi, Mid or Low output and the speakers can be combined according to each  
range (treble range: tweeter, mid range: mid, bass range: woofer) to provide 3-way playback. In this  
case, the crossover function can be used to adjust the playback ranges so that the HPF is applied to  
the treble-range speakers, the HPF and LPF is applied to the Mid-range speakers, and the LPF is  
applied to the bass-range speakers so that the sound from all speakers merges properly.

The sounds that are output from woofers include sounds that are in the same frequency ranges that  
are output from the front and rear speakers, and under the various conditions that can occur inside  
vehicle compartments, some of these sounds may cancel each other out. This phenomenon can be  
eliminated by changing the phase of the woofer.  
The phase of the woofer can be set to normal timing (in which the output timing between the front  
and rear speakers and the woofer is the same) or reverse timing (in which the output timing between  
the front and rear speakers and the woofer is different), depending on the vehicle compartment  
conditions.
