To keep discs clean  
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.  
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 solvent (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.  
Connector  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a  
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in  
the following cases:  
Do not use the following discs:  
• 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 evaporates.  
Warped disc  
Sticker  
Sticker residue  
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  
Stick-on label  
Unusual shape  
• Always hold the disc by the edges.  
Do not touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the  
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface  
facing up).

Basic operations  
Turning on the power  
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can also turn on  
the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.  
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 playback has been stopped  
previously, next time you turn on the power.  
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.  
Tuner operations  
• 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.  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
– All previously stored stations are erased and  
stations are stored newly.  
– 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.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This unit can play back only files of the same type  
which are first detected 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 occurs on the lens inside  
the unit.  
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with  
“Packet Write” method.  
– There are improper recording conditions (missing  
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,  
warped, etc.).  
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 12.)  
Continued on the next page  
15  
• 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.  
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable  
bit rate).  
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed  
time display, and do not show the actual elapsed  
time. Especially, after performing the search function,  
this difference becomes noticeable.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an  
ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures or high  
humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the  
unit.  
• This unit cannot play back the following files:  
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.  
– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.  
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.  
– WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and  
voice format.

Symptoms  
Remedies/Causes  
• Disc cannot be played back.  
• Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in the format  
compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or  
Joliet.  
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file  
names.  
• Noise is generated.  
Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA  
tracks.)  
• A longer readout time is required (“CHECK”  
keeps flashing on the display).  
Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.  
• Tracks are not played back in the order you  
have intended.  
Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.  
• Elapsed playing time is not correct.  
This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused by how  
the tracks are recorded on the disc.  
• “PLEASE EJECT” appears on the display.  
Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.  
• 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
