*For safety....
*Temperature inside the car....
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car
becomes normal before operating the unit.
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated

WARNING:
• Store the battery in a place where children cannot
reach.
If a child accidentally swallows the battery,
consult a doctor immediately.
2) Remove the battery holder.
• Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the
battery or dispose it in a fire.
Doing any of these things may cause the battery to
give off heat, crack or start a fire.
• Do not leave the battery with other metallic
materials.
(back side)
Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat,
crack or start a fire.
• When throwing away or saving the battery, wrap it
in tape and insulate; otherwise, the battery may
start to give off heat, crack or start a fire.
• Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar
tools.
Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat,
crack or start a fire.
CAUTION:
DO NOT leave the remote controller in a place (such

MP3 INTRODUCTION
What is MP3?
How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3*. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10
(128 Kbps**). That means, by using MP3 format,
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in
“directories (folders)”—in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and directories can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
directories/folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and directory can be linked to and be accessed
from the root.
* This player is not compatible with the data encoded with
Layer 1 and 2 formats.
**Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000
bits/second).To get a better audio quality, choose a higher
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128
Kbps.
Playback order, file search order, and directory
search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc
are determined by the writing (or encoding)
application; therefore, playback order may be
different from the one you have intended while
recording the directories and the files.
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
The illustration on the next page shows an
example of how MP3 files are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and
how they are searched on this unit.
Compatible with ID3v1
Extra information data such as album title, performer
name, song title, recording year, music genre and a
brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file.
Notes:
This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name,
performer name and song title) on the display.
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.
• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.
• The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to
malfunction.
Other Main Features in this unit:
• Maximum number of directories/files: 289
(Total)
• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code—mp3.
• Available characters: A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore)
• Maximum number of characters for file name
(ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
• The unit is not compatible with Playlist*.
* A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which enables
users to make their own playback order without physically
rearranging the files.

(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
extension code—“mp3”)
(Joliet):
64 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
extension code—“mp3”)
• Maximum number of characters for directory
name: 64
Precautions when recording MP3 files
on a CD-R or CD-RW
This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded
in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level
1, Level 2 or Joliet.

MAINTENANCE
Handling CDs
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs
and CD-Rs.
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In
this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
• You can also play back your original CD-Rs
(Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either
in audio CD format or in MP3 format.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
Center holder
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in audio CD format or in MP3 format.
(However, they may not be played back depending
on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are
already “finalized.”
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read
their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if
the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave
them inside your car.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)
its case, press down the
center holder of the case
and lift the disc out,
holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by
the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.
To keep discs clean
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 play new discs
CAUTIONS:
New discs may have some
rough spots around the
inner and outer edges. If
such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough
spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any
heat source or place them in a place subject to
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave
them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the
disc, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop disc playback while
driving on such rough roads.
