Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

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.

• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

To play new discs

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.

Connectors

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 has evaporated.

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

Center holder

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

Do not use the following discs:

Single CD (8 cm disc) Warped disc

Sticker and sticker residue

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

• If you want to know more about RDS, visit

<http://www.rds.org.uk>.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.

Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

FM RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of

RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF

(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking

Reception will not operate correctly.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby

Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level.

• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated

(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand,

Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency

Reception. (See page 14.)

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/

CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs

(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.

• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or

WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit can only play back files of the same type as those which are detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

Continued on the next page

17

18

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular

CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists

(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or

2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below:

– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps

• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file names.

• Noise is generated.

• A longer readout time is required

(“READING” keeps flashing on the display).

Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.)

Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.

• Tracks are not played back in the order you have intended.

The playback order is determined when the files are recorded.

• The elapsed playing time is not correct.

This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.

• The correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name).

This unit can only display alphabets (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols.

• Microsoft and Windows Media are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the
