MP3 INTRODUCTION  
What is MP3?  
How are MP3 files recorded  
and played back?  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a  
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10  
(128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format,  
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as  
much data volume as a regular CD can.  
MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”  
—in PC terminology.  
During recording, the files and folders can be  
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and  
folders of computer data.  
Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file  
and folder can be linked to and be accessed  
from the root.  
• For details information about the MP3 discs, refer  
to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).  
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one  
second of audio data will consume.The unit used  
is Kbps (1024 bits/second).To get a better audio  
quality, choose a higher bit rate.The most popular  
bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.  
Playback order, file search order, and folder  
search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc  
are determined by the writing (or encoding)  
application; therefore, playback order may be  
different from the one you have intended while  
recording the folders and the files.  
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.  
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on  
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.  
The illustration on the next page shows an  
example of how MP3 files are recorded on a  
CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and  
how they are searched for on this unit.  
Compatible with ID3 Tag  
Extra information data such as album title,  
performer name, song title, recording year, music  
genre and a brief comment can be stored within  
an MP3 file.  
Notes:  
• The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3 files.  
However, if non-MP3 files are recorded together  
with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to  
scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and  
ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page  
27.)  
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.  
• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a  
disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.  
• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without  
the extension code—mp3.  
• This player is not compatible with the data encoded  
with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.  
• The unit is not compatible with Playlist**.  
Precautions when recording MP3 files  
on a CD-R or CD-RW  
This unit can only read MP3 files that are  
recorded in the format that is compliant with ISO  
9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.  
**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which  
enables users to make their own playback order  
without physically rearranging the files.

Note:  
There is no limit on the number of the hierarchy levels (nested folders). However, up to 8 hierarchy levels is  
recommended for stable operations.  
MP3 playback/search order  
• The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of  
the MP3 files. Normally, this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.  
• The numbers inside the folders indicate the playback order and search order of the folders on an  
MP3 disc. Normally, this unit plays back MP3 files in the folders in the recorded order.

Downloading images and  
animations  
1 Open the control panel.  
Before starting the following procedure, prepare a  
CD-ROM including still images (pictures) and  
animations (movies).  
• The supplied Image Converter CD-ROM  
includes sample images and animations, so  
you can use this disc as your first trial.  
2 Insert a CD-ROM with the files  
(images and animations) into the  
loading slot.  
The unit turns on and  
draws the disc.  
IMPORTANT:  
• Still images (pictures) should have <jml>, and  
animations (movies) should have <jma> as  
their extension code in their file names.  
• Downloading a file can be done only while  
selecting “CD” as the source; on the other  
hand, deleting a file can be done while  
selecting any source.  
• If the disc includes playable audio files  
such as MP3 files, playback starts  
automatically.  
• Before you download or erase the files,  
observe the following:  
– Do not download a file while driving.  
– Do not turn off the ignition key of the car  
while downloading or erasing a file*.  
– Do not detach the control panel while  
downloading or erasing a file*.  
* If you do it, the file download and erasure  
will not be done correctly. In this case,  
perform the same procedure again.  
• If you have already downloaded an  
animation for “PowerOn,PowerOff,” or  
“Movie,downloading a new animation  
deletes the previously stored animation.  
• It takes a long time for the unit to download  
an animation.  
3 Press M (MODE) after the disc is  
detected.  
“Mode” appears on the display.  
The next-step-operation buttons  
start flashing.  
4 Press number button 6 to show the  
download selection screen.

frame).  
– About 3 to 4 minutes for an animation of  
30 frames.  
– About 10 minutes for an animation of 90  
frames.

or in MP3 format.  
You can also connect other CH-X series  
CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100).  
However, they are not compatible with MP3  
discs, so you cannot play back MP3 discs.

MAINTENANCE  
Handling discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
Use only finalizedCD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics,  
and for the following reasons:  
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,  
CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and  
CD Texts.  
• This unit is also compatible with MP3 discs.  
Discs are dirty or scratched.  
Moisture condensation on the lens inside the  
unit.  
The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.  
CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
Discs on which labels can be directly printed  
by an ink jet printer.  
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.  
To keep discs clean  
Using these discs under high temperatures or  
high humidity may cause malfunctions or  
damage to discs. For example,  
Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a  
disc.  
Stickers or labels may peel off so discs  
cannot be ejected.  
Print on discs may get sticky.  
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 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.  
To remove these rough spots, rub  
the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Read instructions or cautions about labels and  
printable discs carefully.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs)  
into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be  
ejected.)  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any  
heat source or place them in a place subject to  
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave  
them in a car.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
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.
