≥This unit counts the number of folders irrespec-

tive of the presence or absence of MP3 ﬁle.

(Example: there is no MP3 ﬁle in a root folder as

shown in the drawing, but a folder number “001”

is given. In fact, there is no MP3 ﬁle to repro-

duce. Therefore, the next folder is automatically

selected.)

≥The writing software sometimes changes the

order of folders and ﬁles on a disc, so the order

may differ from what you speciﬁed. For details

refer to the user manual of your writing software.

≥If you record too many folders or ﬁles other than

MP3s onto a disc, it may take some time before

playback starts, and you may have difficulties

using fast forward and fast reverse.

2 Press [<] (eject) to stop MP3 play and eject

the disc.

Note:

≥Ejecting the disc when the unit is in the MP3

player mode allows the power to be turned off.

≥Playback order varies with players even if the

same disc is loaded.

Notes on MP3

Caution:

This player allows you to play MP3 ﬁles recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable)

and CD-RWs (rewritable).

≥Never assign the “.mp3” ﬁle name extension to a ﬁle that is not in the MP3 format. This may not only pro-

duce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

What is MP3?

Note:

MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer-3, is a standard for compressing digital video data adopted for video CDs

and similar media. It is one of the audio compression schemes covered by MPEG’s (Motion Picture Experts

Group) digital audio compression standards. What it does is reduce the number of bytes in a song without

hurting the sound quality by means such as eliminating big sound waves within in the sound range that is im-

perceptible to the human ear. This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD

by a factor of around 10. This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or

CD-RW. (The ﬁgures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a ﬁxed bit rate of 128 kbps and a

sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)

≥MP3 encode software and writing software are not supplied to this model.

❐ Maximum Number of Files/Folders

≥ Maximum number of trees: 8

≥ Maximum number of ﬁles/folders: 254 (ﬁlesifolders. Root folder is not included.)

Note:

≥If the total of ﬁles and folders exceeds 254, successful playback may not be performed.

Installation Guide

If your car is not wired for an audio unit:

Go to the fuse block and ﬁnd the fuse port for the

battery, usually marked BAT.

❐ Identify All Leads

The ﬁrst step in installation is to identify all the car

wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound sys-

tem.

WARNING

This installation information is designed for experienced installers and is not in-

tended for non-technical individuals. It does not contain warnings or cautions of po-

tential dangers involved in attempting to install this product.

Speakers

As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label

it using masking tape and a permanent marker.

This will help avoid confusion when making con-

nections later.

Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads

for each speaker which are usually color coded.

A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the

speaker they are connected with is to test the leads

using a 1.5 V AA battery as follows.

Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and

stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will

hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers if you

are holding a speaker lead.

Any attempt to install this product in a motor car by anyone other than qualiﬁed in-

staller could cause damage to the electrical system and could result in serious per-

sonal injury or death.

Note:

≥Do not connect the power connector to the stereo

unit until you have made all connections. If there

are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires,

insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape until

you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in

the following order.

≥Install the unit in the dashboard.

≥Check the operation of the unit.

If you encounter problems, please consult your

nearest professional installer.

❐ Installation Hardware

If not, keep testing different lead combinations until

you have located all the speaker leads. When you

label them, include the speaker location for each.
