How to use the number buttons:
If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode and the number buttons work as different
function buttons.
Time countdown indicator
«
Ex.: When you press button 5 to enter the RPT
function mode.
To use these buttons as number buttons again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds without
pressing any number button until the functions mode is cleared.
• Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.
CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the
volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.

MP3 INTRODUCTION
Precautions when recording MP3 files
on a CD-R or CD-RW
What is MP3?
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.
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.
How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?
*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.
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.
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and directory can be linked to and be accessed
from the root.
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.
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 can show ID3v1 tags (album name,
performer name and song title) on the display.
(See page 27.)
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.
• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.
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.
Other Main Features in this unit:
• Maximum number of directories/files: 289
(Total)
• Available characters for directory/file names:
A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore)
• Maximum number of characters for file name
(ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
extension code—“mp3”)
(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
Notes:
• 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.
• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code—mp3.
• The unit is not compatible with Playlist**.
extension code—“mp3”)
(Joliet): 64 (inclusive of
separation mark—“.” and
extension code—“mp3”)
• Maximum number of characters for directory
name: 31
**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.

• The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the
MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.
• The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories
on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.

3 Close the panel by hand.
Notes:
• All the files on the disc will be played repeatedly
until you stop playback—All File Repeat Play.
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time.
(It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file
configuration.)
• If you change the source or turn the power off,
MP3 playback stops (without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select disc play as the source or turn

MAINTENANCE
Handling discs
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• 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.
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs
and CD-Rs.
• You can also play back CD Text.
• 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 playing a CD-R or CD-RW
When removing a disc
from its case, press
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), where audio CD tracks are
recorded, can be played back only if they are
already “finalized.”
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.)
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.
•
•
•
Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") 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.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
•
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.
