Warning
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to
look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic
accident.
Caution on volume setting
Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources.
Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block
outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.

MAINTENANCE
How to clean the connectors
Wipe the connectors
with a cotton swab or
cloth moistened with
alcohol.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Eject
the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture has evaporated.
To keep discs clean
Wipe in a straight line from center of disc to
edge. Do not use liquid cleaners, thinners, or
benzene.
– 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.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
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 play back MP3/WMA files meeting the
conditions below:
– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps

to 128 characters
• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, 255 folders,
and 8 hierarchical levels.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable bit
rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the elapsed
time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time.
In particular, this difference becomes noticeable after
performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files: encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format; an
inappropriate format; layer 1/2.
– WMA files: encoded in lossless, professional, and voice
format; not based upon Windows Media® Audio; copy-
protected with DRM.
– Files which have data such as AIFF, ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is not
constant.
Basic operations
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
• If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after
pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled.
Tuner operations
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest
preset number will be automatically tuned in.
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio
Data System signals—PI (Programme Identification)
and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work 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.
