The volume changes to the preset TA volume  
level (see page 17).  
Tracking the same programme—  
Network-Tracking Reception  
When driving in an area where FM reception  
is not sufficient enough, this unit automatically  
tunes in to another FM RDS station of the  
same network, possibly broadcasting the same  
programme with stronger signals.  
To activate TA Standby Reception

Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
A dirty disc may not play correctly.  
If a disc does become dirty, wipe  
it with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
• Do not use any solvent (for  
example, conventional record cleaner, spray,  
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
unit may reject the disc.  
Connector  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and  
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc from  
its case, press down the center  
holder of the case and lift the  
disc out, holding it by the  
edges.  
Center holder  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after  
use.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Stick-on

More about this unit  
General  
Basic operations  
• This unit has been designed to reproduce  
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/  
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),  
MP3 and WMA format.  
Turning on the power  
• By pressing CD or FM/AM on the unit, you  
can also turn on the power.  
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”  
for the playback source starts disc play.  
Turning off the power  
• If you turn off the power while listening to a  
disc, disc play will start from where playback  
has been stopped previously, next time you  
turn on the power.  
Inserting a disc  
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc  
automatically ejects.  
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and  
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into  
the loading slot.  
Tuner operations  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
– All previously stored stations are erased and  
stations are stored newly.  
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest  
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).  
– When SSM is over, the station stored in  
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.  
• When storing a station manually, a previously  
preset station is erased when a new station is  
stored in the same preset number.  
Playing a disc  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This unit can play back only the files of the  
same type which is first detected if a disc  
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and  
MP3/WMA files.  
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;  
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped  
while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this unit because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the unit.  
FM RDS operations  
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two  
types of RDS signals—PI (Programme  
Identification) and AF (Alternative  
Frequency) to work correctly. Without  
receiving these data correctly, Network-  
Tracking Reception will not operate.  
• If a Traffic Announcement is received, the  
volume level (TA Volume) automatically  
changes to the preset level.  
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with “Packet Write” method.  
– There are improper recording conditions  
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions  
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than that of regular CDs.  
Disc operations  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does

• This unit can play back the files recorded in  
VBR (variable bit rate).  
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy  
in elapsed time display, and do not show  
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after  
performing the search function, this difference  
becomes noticeable.  
• This unit cannot play back the following files:  
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3  
PRO format.  
Playing an MP3/WMA disc

characters  
• If you change the source, playback also stops  
(without ejecting the disc).  
Next time you select “CD” for the playback  
source, disc play starts from where it has been  
stopped previously.  
Ejecting a disc  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within  
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted  
again into the loading slot to prevent it from  
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)  
General settings—PSM  
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from  
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the  
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the  
unit automatically changes the volume level  
to “VOL 30.”

Troubleshooting  
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service  
center.  
Symptoms  
Remedies  
• Sound cannot be heard from the  
speakers.  
• Adjust the volume to the optimum level.  
• Check the cords and connections.  
• The unit does not work at all.  
Reset the unit (see page 2).  
Store stations manually.  
• SSM automatic presetting does not  
work.  
• Static noise while listening to the  
radio.  
Connect the aerial firmly.  
Insert the disc correctly.  
• Disc automatically ejects.  
• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back. • Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.  
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot  
be skipped.  
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component  
which you used for recording.  
• Disc can be neither played back nor  
ejected.  
• Unlock the disc (see page 13).  
• Eject the disc forcibly (see page 2).  
• Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. • Stop playback while driving on rough roads.  
• Use an unscratched disc.  
• Check the cords and connections.  
• “NO DISC” appears on the display.  
• Disc cannot be played back.  
• Insert a disc into the loading slot correctly.  
• Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in  
the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1,  
Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.  
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to  
the file names.  
• Noise is generated.  
Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not  
add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-  
MP3 or WMA tracks.)  
• A longer readout time is required  
(“CHECK” keeps flashing on the  
display).  
Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.  
• Tracks cannot be played back as you  
have intended them to play.  
Playback order is determined when the files  
are recorded.  
• Elapsed playing time is not correct.  
This sometimes occurs during play. This is  
caused by how the tracks are recorded on the  
disc.  
• “NO FILES” appears on the display.  
Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.  
• Correct characters are not displayed  
(e.g. album name).  
This unit can only display alphabets (capital:  
A – Z), numbers, and a limited number of  
symbols.
