tery liquid, wash it with plenty of water.

If battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, wash them

with plenty of water and get immediate medical attention.

Take care not to damage the leads.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them

from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving

parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the

install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied or

designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty

installation may lead to an accident, a malfunction or fire.

shown at right.

Some copy-protected music CDs are not playable.

How to hold a disc

¡ Do not touch the underside of a disc.

¡ Do not scratch on a disc.

Printed side

¡ Do not bend a disc.

¡ When not in use, keep a disc in a case.

Do not use irregularly shaped discs.

Do not leave discs in the following places:

¡ Direct sunlight

¡ Near car heaters

¡ Dirty, dusty and damp areas

<Wrong>

Disc cleaning

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.

Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.

Do not write on the disc label with a ballpoint pen or

other hard-point pens.

¡ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs

recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due

to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,

scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

¡ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and

high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them

inside a car for extended periods may damage and make

playback impossible.

¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or

displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with

certain writing software or CD recorders.

¡ The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to

each file depending on the file format.

¡ This unit does not have the play list function.

¡ Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of

Disc-at-Once is recommended.

¡ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due

to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder

(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.

¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is

not closed.

Supported file systems

ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 9660, Joliet,

the songs may not play in the intended order, or some

songs may not play at all.

¡ MPEG 2 audio layer 3

Bit rate: 8 k-160 kbps
