The following methods are used to made the  
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:  
• Some related tips and notes are explained in  
“More about this receiver” (see pages  
46 – 48).  
If a disc cannot be recognized by the receiver or  
cannot be ejected, eject the disc as follows.  
• If an SD card is inserted, eject the SD card  
first (see page 15).  
• Button operations are mainly explained with  
the illustrations as follows:  
1
Press briefly.  
2
Press repeatedly.  
Press either one.  
Press and hold until  
your desired response  
begins.  
• If this does not work, reset your receiver.  
• Be careful not to drop the disc when it  
ejects.  
Press and hold both  
buttons at the same  
time.  
Caution on volume setting:  
The following marks are used to indicate...

Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
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 minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
receiver may reject the disc.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Connector  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• 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 receiver turned on for a few hours  
until the moisture evaporates.

Caution for DualDisc playback  
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does  
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital  
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-  
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may  
not be recommended.  
• This receiver cannot play back mini SD card  
and MMC.  
• If the inserted SD card does not have the  
correct files, “SD” is skipped.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This receiver can play back only the files of  
the same type which is first detected if a disc  
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and  
MP3/WMA files.  
46  
• This receiver can play back multi-session  
discs; however, unclosed sessions will be  
skipped while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this receiver because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
• For MP3/WMA discs:  
The maximum number of characters for file/  
folder names vary among the disc format used  
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or  
<.wma>).  
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters  
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters  
– Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters  
– Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters  
– Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)  
characters  
* The parenthetic figure is the maximum  
number of characters for file/folder names  
in case the total number of files and folders  
is 313 or more.  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the receiver.  
– The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.  
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with “Packet Write” method.  
– Improper recording conditions (missing  
data, etc.) or media conditions (stain,  
scratch, warp, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than that of regular CDs.  
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
• For SD cards:  
The maximum number of characters for  
folder name is 8 characters; file name is 12  
characters.  
The receiver cannot recognize folder with  
period (.) on the folder name.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly  
printed by an ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures or  
high humidities may cause malfunctions or  
damages to discs.  
• This receiver can recognize the total of 512  
files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies of an  
MP3/WMA disc; 255 files and 63 folders of  
an SD card.  
• This receiver can play back the files recorded  
in VBR (variable bit rate).  
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy  
in elapsed time display, and do not show  
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after  
performing the search function, this difference  
becomes noticeable.  
• This receiver cannot play back the following  
files:  
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and  
MP3 PRO format.  
– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated  
format.

with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>  
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).  
• This receiver can show the names of albums,  
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,  
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for  
WMA files.  
• This receiver can display only one-byte  
characters. No other characters can be  
correctly displayed (see page 45).  
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.  
– WMA files encoded with lossless,  
professional, and voice format.  
– WMA files which are not based upon

• It takes a long time to download an animation.  
– About 3 to 4 seconds for a still image (one  
frame).  
– About 1 to 2 minutes for an animation of 30  
frames.  
Changing the source  
• If you change the source, playback also stops  
(without ejecting the disc).  
Next time you select “CD,” “SD,” or  
“CD-CH” for the playback source, playback  
starts from where it has been stopped  
previously.  
– About 4 minutes for an animation of 90  
frames.

and <jla> files, beeps sound when you try to  
operate the downloading procedure.  
• If you try to store a 31st image for picture  
screen, “Picture Full” appears and you cannot  
start downloading. Delete unwanted files  
before downloading.  
• If the total frame number of an animation  
downloaded exceeds the following number,  
the frames exceeding that numbers are  
ignored.  
Image Link  
• Image Link will not work in the following  
cases:  
– If no <jll> file is included in an MP3/WMA  
folder.  
– If Intro play is activated.  
– If the source is changed to another from  
“CD” or “SD.”  
– If more than one <jll> file are included in a  
folder, a file with the youngest file number  
is used for the graphic screen.  
– For “Opening” and “Ending”: 30  
– For “Movie”: 90  
Ejecting a disc  
General settings—PSM  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within  
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted  
again into the loading slot to prevent it from  
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)  
• “Auto Dimmer” may not work correctly on  
some vehicles, particularly on those having a  
control dial for dimming. In this case, change  
the “Dimmer” setting to any one other than  
“Auto.”  
Sound adjustment  
General  
• If you are using a two-speaker system, set the  
fader level to the center.  
• If “LCD Type” is set to “Auto,” the display  
pattern will change to the “Positive” or  
“Negative” pattern depending on the  
“Dimmer” setting.  
• If you change the “Amp Gain” setting from  
“High PWR” to “Low PWR” while the  
volume level is set higher than “Volume 30,”  
the receiver automatically changes the volume  
level to “Volume 30.”  
• Subwoofer out setting takes effect only when  
a subwoofer is connected.  
• You cannot change the input level—VolAdjust  
of the FM stations. If the source is FM, “Fix”  
will appear when you try to adjust it.  
Other main functions  
Graphic display  
Assigning titles to the sources  
Downloading (or deleting) files  
• If you try to assign a title to a 31st disc or a  
31st station frequency, “Name Full” appears  
and you cannot enter the text entry mode.  
Delete unwanted titles before assignment.  
• Titles assigned to discs in the CD changer can  
also be shown if you playback the disc from  
the receiver.  
• You can download a file only while selecting  
“CD” or “SD” for the playback source; on  
the other hand, you can delete a file while  
selecting any source.  
• If you have already downloaded an animation  
for “Opening,” “Ending,” or “Movie,”  
downloading a new animation deletes the  
previously stored animation.
