Kit Installation
CAUTION: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be
mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within
this limitation.
If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio,
follow the instructions included with the installation kit to attach the radio to
the mounting plate supplied with the kit.
1. Wire and test the radio as outlined in the Mounting Sleeve Installation
instructions.
2. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard
according to the instructions in the installation kit.
3. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in the
Universal Installation instructions.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be
brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram
carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated
with wire nuts or electrical tape. See “Wiring” on page 5. After
completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation
(vehicle ignition must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all
wiring until the problem is corrected.
4. Replace the dashboard trim panel.
5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then

MP3/WMA OPERATION
MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files are digital audio files
that are compressed to allow more files on a single CD. This unit can play
MP3/WMA directly from files contained on a CD-R/RW, SD card or USB
device using the buttons on the receiver (or optional remote control) as
described below. Many types of software are available for converting audio
files into MP3/WMA formats. Jensen recommends Nero or Roxio Easy CD
Creator. Depending on the media type and recording method, some CD-R/
RWs may be incompatible with this unit. This unit supports playback of
MP3/WMA and CDDA (CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra (including
multi-session discs). Discs on which the session has not been closed will
not play.
MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings
Use the following settings when compressing audio data with the MP3
encoder.
•
•
Transfer bit rate: 8 - 320 kbps
Sampling frequency: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc
capacity, disable additional writing. To record an empty disc up to the
maximum capacity at once, select the “disc at once” option.
Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0
and 1.1. For character codes, refer to
the table to the right.
Notes on MP3/WMA Play
This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). However, the MP3
recording media and accepted formats are limited. When writing MP3/
WMA, pay attention to the following restrictions.
Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters
are the only file names and folder
names that can be entered and
displayed. Using any other character will
cause the file and folder names to be
displayed incorrectly. The unit
Acceptable Media
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to this unit are SD card, USB
hard drive or flash drive, CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. When using CD-RW,
use full format rather than quick format to prevent malfunction.
Acceptable Medium Formats
recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The
maximum number of characters used for file name including the delimiter
(".") and three-character extension are indicated in parentheses.

Writing Files into a Medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all
data. If the medium contains a large number of folders or non-MP3/WMA
files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to move to
the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a
medium may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do
not attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the
MP3/WMA extension or a medium containing non MP3/WMA files.

Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format. For a
list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the writing
software and the section “Entering File and Folder Names” below. The

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or

As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not
match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set
the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence
numbers such as "01" to "99". For example, a medium with the following
folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select
as shown below.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CD Player
Compact Discs
The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your CD player:
CD-R and CD-RW Capability
1. When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on
the unit.
2. The CD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under
damp conditions. In case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle
interior reaches a normal temperature or any condensation on the disc
player lens has evaporated before using the player.
3. Never insert anything other than round 5” CDs into the player.
Attempting to insert CDs of other sizes (even with an adaptor) will
cause damage not covered by the warranty.
4. Always remove the CD when the player is not in use.
5. The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to
minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving
vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on
very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal
play will resume when the rough conditions cease.
Depending on media type and method of "recording/burning", some CD-R/
RWs may be incompatible with this unit. After "recording/burning", the
session must be closed. Please refer to your software's recommended
procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording software to
familiarize yourself with the correct "recording/burning" procedures. We
TM
TM
recommend using the latest versions of ROXIO or NERO burning
software.
In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital
Audio), .MP3 and .WMA formats "recorded / burned" onto a CD-R/RW. This
unit does not support .WAV, .OGG or other formats.
CD Care and Handling
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause skips in the playback and
deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of
your compact discs.
1. Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc’s playing surface
with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside
of the disc.
2. Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to
clean CDs, as they can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
3. Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
4. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high
humidity for long periods.
5. Do not stick paper, tape or CD labels on disc surfaces, as internal
damage may occur.
