! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WA V files and audio data (CD -DA) such as CD - EXTRA and MIXED -MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode be- tween MP3/WMA/WA V and CD-D A. ! The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing sof tware. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However , there also is some writing software which per- mits setting of the playback order . ! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/ WA V files and burned to a CD -R/CD-RW/ CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD. Important ! When naming an MP3/WMA/WA V file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav). ! This unit plays back files with the filename ex- tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/ WMA/W AV file. T o prevent noise and malfunc- tions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3/WMA/W AV files. MP3 additional information ! Files are compatible with the ID3 T ag V er . 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title), artist (track artist) and comments. Ver . 2.x of ID3 T ag is given priority when both V er . 1.x and V er . 2.x exist. ! The emphasis function is valid only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen- cies are played back.

MP3/WMA/W AV files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played back. However , there is a delay in the start of playback on discs with numer- ous tiers. F or this reason we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 tiers. ! It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on one disc. Additional Information En 43 English Appendix
T erms Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps (bits per second) units. The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist îÂÂs name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. ISO9660 format This is the international standard for the for- mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. F or the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 charac ters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the î _î sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters). Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (in- cluding the separation mark îÂÂ. î and a file ex- tension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies. Extended formats Joliet: File names can have up to 64 characters. Romeo: File names can have up to 128 charac ters. Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. m3u Playlists created using the î WINAMP î soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan- dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con- ventional disc. MS ADPCM This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential pulse code modulation, which is the signal re- cording system used for the multimedia sof t- ware of Microsof t Corporation. Multi-session Multi-session is a recording method that al- lows additional data to be recorded later . When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD -R or CD-RW , etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses- sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses- sions on one disc. Number of quantization bits The number of quantization bits is one factor in the overall sound quality ; the higher the î bit-depthî , the better the sound quality . How- ever , increasing the bit-depth also increases the amount of data and therefore storage space required. Additional Information En 44 Appendix
Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compres- sion, it is possible to achieve compression- priority sound quality. WA V WA V is short for waveform. It is a standard audio file format for Windows î . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media " Audio and refers to an audio compression technol- ogy that is developed by Microsof t Corpora- tion. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later .

Note: ⢠This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre- ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage. ⢠To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the â battery cable before beginning installation. ⢠Refer to the ownerâÂÂs manual for details on con- necting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly. ⢠Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. ⢠Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body. ⢠DonâÂÂt pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short. ⢠Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should. ⢠Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. ⢠When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this unit. ⢠Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right â speaker leads are common. ⢠The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current prod- ucts such as power amps. If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire. ⢠Speakers connected to this unit must be high- power with minimum rating of 50 W and imped- ance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with out- put and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged. ⢠When this productâÂÂs source is switched ON, a con- trol signal is output through the blue/white lead.

T erms Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps (bits per second) units. The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist îÂÂs name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. ISO9660 format This is the international standard for the for- mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. F or the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 charac ters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the î _î sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters). Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (in- cluding the separation mark îÂÂ. î and a file ex- tension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies. Extended formats Joliet: File names can have up to 64 characters. Romeo: File names can have up to 128 charac ters. Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. m3u Playlists created using the î WINAMP î soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan- dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con- ventional disc. MS ADPCM This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential pulse code modulation, which is the signal re- cording system used for the multimedia sof t- ware of Microsof t Corporation. Multi-session Multi-session is a recording method that al- lows additional data to be recorded later . When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD -R or CD-RW , etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses- sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses- sions on one disc. Number of quantization bits The number of quantization bits is one factor in the overall sound quality ; the higher the î bit-depthî , the better the sound quality . How- ever , increasing the bit-depth also increases the amount of data and therefore storage space required. Additional Information En 44 Appendix
Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compres- sion, it is possible to achieve compression- priority sound quality. WA V WA V is short for waveform. It is a standard audio file format for Windows î . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media " Audio and refers to an audio compression technol- ogy that is developed by Microsof t Corpora- tion. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later .

Note: ⢠This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre- ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage. ⢠To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the â battery cable before beginning installation. ⢠Refer to the ownerâÂÂs manual for details on con- necting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly. ⢠Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. ⢠Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body. ⢠DonâÂÂt pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short. ⢠Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should. ⢠Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. ⢠When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this unit. ⢠Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right â speaker leads are common. ⢠The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current prod- ucts such as power amps. If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire. ⢠Speakers connected to this unit must be high- power with minimum rating of 50 W and imped- ance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with out- put and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged. ⢠When this productâÂÂs source is switched ON, a con- trol signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power ampâÂÂs system remote control or the carâÂÂs Auto-antenna relay control ter- minal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal. ⢠When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the ampâÂÂs power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction. ⢠To avoid a short-circuit, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Insulate the unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of a short-circuit if the leads are not insulated. ⢠To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connections of the same col- ors correctly. ⢠If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehi- cle for several hours. (Fig. 1) Fig. 1 ⢠Cords for this product and those for other prod- ucts may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.

Installation Note: ⢠Before making a final installation of the unit, tem- porarily connect the wiring to confirm that the con- nections are correct and the system works proper- ly. ⢠Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions. ⢠Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle. ⢠Install the unit where it does not get in the driverâÂÂs way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop. ⢠The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so donâÂÂt install the unit anywhere hot â for instance, near a heater outlet. ⢠If installation angle exceeds 60ð from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance.
