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.

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.

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

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.

• ISO 9660 Level 1 (11 characters)

• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)

• Joliet (31 characters)

• Romeo (31 characters)

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 media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:

• Maximum number of nested folders: 8

• Maximum number of files per disc: 999

• Maximum number of folders per disc: 255

MP3/WMA files written in formats other than those listed above will not play successfully and their file or folder names will not display properly.

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.

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 recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.

NOTE: A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

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.

Electronic Shock Protection

• 10 seconds for CD-DA (CDA)

• >45 seconds for MP3 recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps

• >90 seconds for WMA recorded at 44.1kHz, 128kbps

13

MP6512i

Bit Rates

The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.

MP3 Playing Order

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

Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer.

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.

Loading an SD Card

Insert the SD card, label side down, into the SD slot on the front of the

MediaLink 2 . The unit will read the files on the card automatically. The “SD” card icon flashes when an SD card is being read.

The MP6512i player will only recognize three folder levels and does not display folders containing only other folders. In the example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly. Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.

Loading an MP3/WMA Disc

After the disc is loaded, “CD Read” is displayed then “MAX” followed by the number of tracks is displayed. The unit will then display ID3 information pertaining to the last selected category (Folder, File, Track, Artist, Album, or

Track number and Elapsed time).

USB JACK

2. Insert the USB device into the USB jack. The unit will read the files on the USB device automatically. The “USB” icon flashes when a USB device is being read.

To remove the USB device, press the SRC button (7) to switch to another mode and then remove the USB device from the USB jack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CD Player

The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your CD player:

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.

Compact Discs

CD-R and CD-RW Capability

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 recommend using the latest versions of ROXIO TM burning software.

or NERO TM

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.
