the unit while these symptoms are in evidence but
leave the unit standing for about and hour, and then
resume or start use.
¡Do not cause impact to the liquid crystal panel.
¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C
When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files
Common
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommend-
ed for high quality sound.
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the encod-
ing circumstances. For details, refer to the instructions of
your own encoding software and writing software.
¡Some Cyrillic characters in the Unicode can be displayed.
ASCII character set

¡If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA files,
the songs may not play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
¡You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or
displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
¡This unit does not have a play list function.
¡Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.

use different folders for each data.
¡Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and unneces-
sary folder on a disc.
¡The name of an MP3/WMA file should be added by rules as
shown in the following descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each file system.

RDS Basics
Some FM stations are broadcasting added data compati-
ble with RDS. This radio set offers convenient functions
using such data.
Each region has its own number. This may be used to
identify the region where the station you are now listening
to is located.
RDS service availability varies with areas. Please under-
stand if RDS service is not available in your area, the fol-
lowing service is not available, either. This chapter
explains the summary and operation regarding RDS.
The following functions are available when receiving RDS
stations.
Other RDS functions
Enhanced Other Networks (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other net-
work stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated
by EON data.
Programme Service Name (PS) Display
The name of the station is displayed.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS informa-
tion. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations,
including the one that is currently tuned in to. For exam-
ple, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be
able to receive the same station at an alternative frequen-
cy, or another station serving the same programme. EON
also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick
reception.
Alternative Frequency (AF)
When reception is poor, an RDS station broadcasting the
same programme is tuned in automatically.
Traffic Programme (TP)
Some RDS FM stations periodically provide a traffic
announcement.
Stations which broadcast the traffic announcement are
called Traffic Programme (TP).
Emergency Announcement Reception
Traffic Announcement (TA)
Radio announcements on traffic conditions.
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit
is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast
(Even when in the other mode). During receiving the
emergency announcement, “ALARM” appears on the dis-
play.
Clock Time (CT) Service
When receiving an RDS station, the CT service automati-
cally adjusts the time. (aPage 34 for Clock Setting)
Programme Type (PTY) Display
RDS FM stations provide a programme type identification

¡Emergency announcements are broadcast at the TA

signal.
Example: news, rock, classical music, etc. (apage 28)
Programme Identification (PI)
Each programme has its own number. This may be used
to search for another frequency on which the same pro-
gramme is broadcast.

Notes on Discs
How to hold the disc
¡Do not touch the underside of the disc.
Disc insert
The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery. Therefore,
when using such a disc for the first time, it may not load
satisfactorily even when it has been inserted into the
unit. At a time like this, insert the disc into the unit as far
as it will go until it is loaded properly.
¡Do not scratch the disc.
¡Do not bend disc.
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.
51
Printed side
¡When inserting a disc into or ejecting and removing
it from the unit, insert it straight in or eject and
remove it straight out in parallel with the unit.
Otherwise, the disc may be scratched or marked in
the process.
¡When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on anoth-
er. Failure to observe this may cause the discs to
be jammed.
Do not use discs that fit any of the descriptions given
below. Using these discs may damage the discs or
cause the unit to malfunction.

Definition of Terms
This fully discrete format divides the music signals
into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R),
Centre (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and
playback. The number of channels that are recorded
depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
Dolby Digital
Playback control (VCD (Video CD))
If the VCD (Video CD) has “With Playback Control”
or others written on the disc surface or on the jacket,
the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened
to) can be selected interactively with the screen by
looking at the menu shown on the screen.
In these instructions, playback using the menu
screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video
CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback
control.

Title, Chapter (DVD)
DVDs are divided into some large sections (titles) or
some small sections (chapters). Each section is
numbered; these numbers are called “Title number”
or “Chapter number”.
Dolby Pro Logic
This format records signals from four channels
[Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Centre (C), and
Monaural Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes
those channels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder,
and then outputs the resulting signals in four chan-
nels.

Video CDs or CDs are divided into some sections

are called “Track number”.
This format requires more data than Dolby Digital,
and provides higher quality surround playback.
Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format
divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front
Left (L), Front Right (R), Centre (C), Left Surround
(LS), Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1

Letterbox screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback picture
of wide-screen DVDs or VCD (Video CD)s appears
with black bands running along the top and bottom.
LPCM (Linear PCM audio)
In this format, the audio signal is converted to digital
data and recorded in two channels without compres-
sion. Because the capacity of a DVD disc is large, it
can store more data with better accuracy than a CD.

This refers to a screen on which the playback picture

Caution
¡Check the connectors provided on your car (see precaution below) before connecting the system.
¡This unit is designed for use in a car having a 12 V negative ground battery system.
¡To prevent damage to the unit, be sure to follow the connection diagram.
¡Strip about 5 mm of the lead ends for connection (only non-ISO connector cords).
¡Do not insert the power connector into the unit until the wiring is completed.
¡Be sure to insulate any exposed wires to prevent short circuiting with the car chassis. Bundle all cables, and pre-
vent cable terminals from touching any metal parts.

¡Note that if your car has a driving computer or a navigation computer, disconnecting the cable from the battery
may clear the memory.
¡Run the cords avoiding the spots where the temperature can be extremely high.
Precautions (ISO Connector)
¡The pin arrangement of the power connector conforms
to ISO standard.
¡The pin arrangement of ISO connectors in some cars
may differ from the ISO standard.
¡Please check that the pin arrangement of the connec-
tor in your car conforms to ISO standard.
¡For car types A and B, change the wiring of the red
and yellow leads as shown at below.
¡After connection, insulate the portions marked (C)
with insulating tape.
