2. PRECAUTIONS  
This unit uses a flip-down structure that makes possible large-size displays.  
Operation status indication  
Titles, clock, etc. are displayed.  
1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the  
player is used soon after switching on the  
heater moisture may form on the disc or the  
optical parts of the player and proper playback  
may not be possible. If moisture forms on the  
disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture  
forms on the optical parts of the player, do not  
use the player for about one hour. The con-  
densation will disappear naturally allowing nor-  
mal operation.  
2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause  
severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let  
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.  
• Never play a compact disc with any cello-  
phane tape or other glue on it or with peeling  
off marks. If you try to play such a compact  
disc, you may not be able to get it back out of  
the CD player or it may damage the CD  
player.

2. Files without MP3/WMA data will not play.  
The indication “:” appears in the play  
time display if you attempt to play files with-  
out MP3/WMA data.  
MP3/WMA  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-  
sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.  
This audio compression method has penetrated  
into PC users and become a standard format.  
Logical format (File system)  
1. When writing MP3/WMA file on a CD-R disc or  
CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1,  
2 or JOLIET or Romeo” as the writing software  
format. Normal play may not be possible if the  
disc is recorded on another format.  
This MP3 features the original audio data com-  
pression to about 10 percent of its initial size  
with a high sound quality. This means that about  
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc  
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time  
without having to change CDs.  
2. The folder name and file name can be dis-  
played as the title during MP3/WMA play but  
the title must be within 128 single byte alpha-  
betical letters and numerals (including an ex-  
tension).  
What is WMA?  
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au-  
dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft  
Corporation.  
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder  
having the same name.
