CD-R/CD-RW discs

When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, play-

back is possible only for discs which have

been finalized.

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

audio file format for Windows^®.

With some applications used to encode

WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-

rectly.

Depending on the version of Windows

Media Player used to encode WMA files,

album names and other text information

may not be correctly displayed.

There may be a slight delay when starting

playback of WMA files encoded with image

data.

This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/

WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW

discs. Disc recordings compatible with

level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the

Romeo and Joliet file system can be played

back.

It is possible to play back multi-session

compatible recorded discs.

MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible

with packet write data transfer.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a file name, including

the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,

from the first character.

The maximum number of characters which

can be displayed for a folder name is 64.

In case of files recorded according to the

Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-

ters can be displayed.

When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV

files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-

EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types

can be played only by switching mode be-

tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.

The folder selection sequence for playback

and other operations becomes the writing

sequence used by the writing software. For

this reason, the expected sequence at the

time of playback may not coincide with the

actual playback sequence. However, there

also is some writing software which per-

mits setting of the playback order.

It may not be possible to play back CD-R/

CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-

corder or a personal computer because of

disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on

the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc., on the

lens of this unit.

Playback of discs recorded on a personal

computer may not be possible, depending

on the application settings and the environ-

ment. Please record with the correct for-

mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer

of the application.)

Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-

come impossible in case of direct exposure

to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-

rage conditions in the vehicle.

Titles and other text information recorded

on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-

played by this unit (in the case of audio

data (CD-DA)).

This unit conforms to the track skip func-

tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks

containing the track skip information are

skipped automatically (in case of audio

data (CD-DA)).

If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit,

time to playback will be longer than when

you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.

Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW

discs before using them.

Additional Information

Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge

into one another without a pause. When

these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/

WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/

CD-ROM, the files will be played back on

this player with a short pause between

each one, regardless of the length of the

pause between tracks on the original audio

CD.

WMA additional information

This unit plays back WMA files encoded by

Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8 and

You can only play back WMA files in the fre-

quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

The sound quality of WMA files generally

becomes better with an increased bit rate.

This unit can play recordings with bit rates

from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48

kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be

able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we

recommend using discs recorded with a

higher bit rate.

Important

When naming an MP3/WMA/WAV file, add

the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,

.wma or.wav).

This unit plays back files with the filename ex-

tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/

WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-

tions, do not use these extensions for files

other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.

cies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32,

44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be

played back.)

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-

comes better with a larger number of quan-

tization bits. This unit can play recordings

with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)

quantization bits, but in order to be able to

enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-

mend using discs recorded with the larger

number of quantization bits.

Appendix

Additional Information

Terms

Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code

modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation,

which is the signal recording system used for

music CDs and DVDs.

Bit rate

This expresses data volume per second, or bps

units (bits per second). The higher the rate,

the more information is available to reproduce

the sound. Using the same encoding method

(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better

the sound.

m3u

Playlists created using the ꢂWINAMPꢃ soft-

ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

ID3 tag

MP3

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-

formation can include the track title, the ar-

tistꢁs name, the album title, the music genre,

the year of production, comments and other

data. The contents can be freely edited using

software with ID3 Tag editing functions.

Although the tags are restricted as to the num-

ber of characters, the information can be

viewed when the track is played back.

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an

audio compression standard set by a working

group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-

dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress

audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-

ventional disc.

MS ADPCM

This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential

pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-

cording system used for the multimedia soft-

ware of Microsoft Corporation.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for-

mat logic of CD-ROMfolders and files. For the

ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the

following two levels.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that al-

lows additional data to be recorded later.

When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or

CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is

treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-

sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-

sions on one disc.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-

sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English

capital letters and half-byte numerals and the

ꢂ_ꢃ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-

ters).

Level 2:

Number of quantization bits

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-

cluding the separation mark ꢂ.ꢃ and a file ex-

tension). Each folder contains less than 8

hierarchies.

Extended formats

Joliet:

File names can have up to 64 characters.

Romeo:

File names can have up to 128 characters.

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-

comes better with a larger number of quanti-

zation bits. This unit can play recordings with

8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM) quantiza-

tion bits, but in order to be able to enjoy sound

of a certain quality, we recommend using

discs recorded with the larger number of

quantization bits.

Appendix

Additional Information

Packet write

This is a general term for a method of writing

on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,

just as is done with files on floppy or hard

discs.

VBR

VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally

speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more

widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit

rate according to the needs of audio compres-

sion, it is possible to achieve compression-

priority sound quality.

WAV

WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard

audio file format for Windows^®.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio

and refers to an audio compression technol-

ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-

tion. WMA data can be encoded by using

Windows Media Player version 7 or later.

Connecting the Units

Note:

•

This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and

negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-

ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery

voltage.

•

When this product’s source is switched ON, a con-

trol signal is output through the blue/white lead.

Connect to an external power amp’s system remote

control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control ter-

minal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features

a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster

power supply terminal.

When an external power amp is being used with

this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white

lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not

connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal

of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause

excessive current drain and malfunction.

To avoid a short-circuit, cover the disconnected

lead with insulating tape. Insulate the unused

speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of

a short-circuit if the leads are not insulated.

To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of

the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side

is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors

correctly.

If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not

have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition

switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected

to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF

operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery

may be drained when you are away from the vehi-

cle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

•

To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to

disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning

installation.

Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-

necting the power amp and other units, then make

connections correctly.

Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive

tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape

around them where they lie against metal parts.

Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any

moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and

seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get

hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation

of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of

the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.

Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the

engine compartment to connect to the battery. This

will damage the lead insulation and cause a very

dangerous short.

DEH-P3700MP

•

Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection

circuit may fail to work when it should.

Never feed power to other equipment by cutting

the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit

and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of

the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse

of the rating prescribed on this unit.

Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never

wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or

the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.

If you ground the products together and the ground

becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the

products or fire.

The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead

separately from the ground of high-current prod-

ucts such as power amps.

If you ground the products together and the ground

becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the

products or fire.

Speakers connected to this unit must be high-

power with minimum rating of 50 W and imped-

ance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with out-

put and/or impedance values other than those

noted here may result in the speakers catching fire,

emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.
