Handling Compact Discs
2. PRECAUTIONS
•
•
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of
such discs may cause misoperation or damage.
Use only compact discs bearing the
or
: Disc folder indication
: Scan indication
mark.
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the
player is used soon after switching on the
heater moisture may form on the disc or the
optical parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If moisture forms on the
disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture
forms on the optical parts of the player, do not
use the player for about one hour. The con-
densation will disappear naturally allowing nor-
mal operation.
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause
severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
To remove a compact disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in
the event that trouble arises, never open the
case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the ro-
tating parts.
: Repeat indication
: Random indication
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode

• Do not use commercially available CD protec-
tion sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers,
etc. These may damage the disc or cause
breakdown of the internal mechanism.
Handling
•
Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.

2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play.
The indication “––:––” appears in the play
time display if you attempt to play files with-
out MP3/WMA data.
MP3/WMA
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-
sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.
● Logical format (File system)
1. When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level
1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing soft-
ware format. Normal play may not be possible
if the disc is recorded on another format.
This MP3 features the original audio data com-
pression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality. This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.
2. The folder name and file name can be dis-
played as the title during MP3/WMA play but
the title must be within 128 single byte alpha-
betical letters and numerals (including an ex-
tension).
What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au-
dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder
having the same name.
● Folder structure
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hier-
archical levels will be impossible.
Notes:

agement) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is
output.
● Number of files or folders
• Windows Media™, and the Windows® logo are

countries.
●To disable DRM (Digital Rights Manage-
ment):
1. Up to 255 files can be recognized per folder.
Up to 500 files can be played.

Notes:
About the 2-ZONE function
The 2-ZONE function is a function that outputs
separate sounds from the MAIN zone and SUB
zone by simultaneously operating two sources in the
one center unit, thereby allowing plural listeners to
enjoy separate music sources.
• The SCN/RPT/RDM functions cannot be used
while in the play list mode.
• The title display changes from folder name to play
list name.
This unit can control its internal sources (radio, CD,
MP3, etc.) to play back them, and further, can simul-
taneously play back sources from external equip-
ment connected via CeNET (for instance, CD
changers etc.).
Making a play list
1. Write desired tracks to a CD-R/RW, etc. Be
sure to use alphanumeric/ASCII characters
for all file names.
2. Make a play list by using a multimedia
player, etc. and save the data. The file format
must be M3U.
The sources of the MAIN zone are played back
from the speakers of the vehicle side, and those
of the SUB zone are from the headphone sys-
tems (WH104/WH204).
3. Again, write this play list to the CD-R/RW,
etc.
Notes:
• Except AUX, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot si-
multaneously use sources inside this unit.
Also, external equipment connected via CeNET
cannot simultaneously be used.
• The TV mode while the 2-ZONE function is tuned
on is forced to change to “VTR playback.”
Notes:
• When writing to a CD-R/RW, etc., be sure to use
alphanumeric/ASCII characters.
• Up to 5 layers can be recognized as a list. For
written play lists, latest 5 lists are recognized in
the order in which they are written.
• The ISR function cannot be operated when the 2-
ZONE function is turned on.
• When writing to a CD-R/RW, etc., turn off the Disc
At Once function.
• The Audio mode and Z-enhancer function cannot
be set for the sources of the SUB zone.
• When adding a play list, it is recommended to
write it in the “Root” folder.
• If any of following external equipment is con-
nected, this function is disenabled.
• 5.1 channel surround decoder (DVC920)
Setting the 2-ZONE function
The initial setting is “OFF”.
When you have set the 2-ZONE function to “ON” in
the initial state, the MAIN zone services for sources
inside this unit and the SUB zone, for AUX. Chang-
ing a source during later use causes the latest heard
source to be invoked.
Press and hold the [ ] button for 1 second or
longer to turn on or off. When the 2-ZONE function
is turned on, “2-ZONE ON” on the display lights.
