It may not be possible to play back CD-R/  
CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD re-  
corder or a personal computer because of  
disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on  
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc., on the  
lens of this unit.  
Playback of discs recorded on a personal  
computer may not be possible, depending  
on the application settings and the environ-  
ment. Please record with the correct for-  
mat. (For details, contact the manufacturer  
of the application.)  
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may be-  
come impossible in case of direct exposure  
to sunlight, high temperatures, or the sto-  
rage conditions in the vehicle.  
Titles and other text information recorded  
on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be dis-  
played by this unit (in the case of audio  
data (CD-DA)).  
This unit conforms to the track skip func-  
tion of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks  
containing the track skip information are  
skipped automatically (in case of audio  
data (CD-DA)).

out and wipe any damp discs with a soft  
cloth to remove the moisture.  
MP3, WMA and WAV files  
!
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
standard.  
Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.

WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio  
and refers to an audio compression tech-  
nology that is developed by Microsoft Cor-  
poration. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 7 or  
later.  
CD-R/CD-RW discs  
!
When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, play-  
back is possible only for discs which have  
been finalized.

Appendix  
Additional Information  
!
This unit plays back files with the filename ex-  
tension (.mp3, .wma or .wav) as an MP3/  
WMA/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunc-  
tions, do not use these extensions for files  
other than MP3/WMA/WAV files.  
!
!
!
With some applications used to encode  
WMA files, this unit may not operate cor-  
rectly.  
With some applications used to encode  
WMA files, album names and other text in-  
formation may not be correctly displayed.  
This unit allows playback of MP3/WMA/  
WAV files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW  
discs. Disc recordings compatible with  
level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the  
Romeo and Joliet file system can be played  
back.  
It is possible to play back multi-session  
compatible recorded discs.  
MP3/WMA/WAV files are not compatible  
with packet write data transfer.  
The maximum number of characters which  
can be displayed for a file name, including  
the extension (.mp3, .wma or .wav), is 64,  
from the first character.  
The maximum number of characters which  
can be displayed for a folder name is 64.  
In case of files recorded according to the  
Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac-  
ters can be displayed.  
When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV  
files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-  
EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types  
can be played only by switching mode be-  
tween MP3/WMA/WAV and CD-DA.  
The folder selection sequence for playback  
and other operations becomes the writing  
sequence used by the writing software. For  
this reason, the expected sequence at the  
time of playback may not coincide with the  
actual playback sequence. However, there  
also is some writing software which per-  
mits setting of the playback order.  
MP3 additional information  
!
Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.  
1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display  
of album (disc title), track (track title), artist  
(track artist) and comments. Ver. 2.x of ID3  
Tag is given priority when both Ver. 1.x and  
Ver. 2.x exist.  
The emphasis function is valid only when  
MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen-  
cies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32,  
44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be  
played back.)  
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.  
There is no compatibility with the MP3i  
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.  
The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-  
comes better with an increased bit rate.  
This unit can play recordings with bit rates  
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be  
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we  
recommend using only discs recorded with  
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

This unit plays back WAV files encoded in  
Linear PCM (LPCM) format or MS ADPCM  
format.  
!
You can only play back WAV files in the fre-  
quencies 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz  
(LPCM), or 22.05 and 44.1 kHz (MS  
ADPCM). The sampling frequency shown  
in the display may be rounded.

The sound quality of WAV files generally be-  
comes better with a larger number of quan-  
tization bits. This unit can play recordings  
with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM)  
quantization bits, but in order to be able to  
enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom-  
mend using discs recorded with the larger  
number of quantization bits.

About folders and MP3/  
WMA/WAV files  
Notes  
!
!
This unit assigns folder numbers. The user  
can not assign folder numbers.  
It is not possible to check folders that do not  
include MP3/WMA/WAV files. (These folders  
will be skipped without displaying the folder  
number.)  
!
An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3/WMA/  
WAV files on it is shown below. Subfolders  
are shown as folders in the folder currently  
selected.  
!
!
MP3/WMA/WAV files in up to 8 tiers of folders  
can be played back. However, there is a delay  
in the start of playback on discs with numer-  
ous tiers. For this reason we recommend  
creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.  
It is possible to play back up to 99 folders on  
one disc.

Additional Information  
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code  
modulation  
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,  
which is the signal recording system used for  
music CDs and DVDs.  
Terms  
Bit rate  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,  
the more information is available to reproduce  
the sound. Using the same encoding method  
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better  
the sound.  
m3u  
Playlists created using the WINAMPsoft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
ID3 tag  
MP3  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tists name, the album title, the music genre,  
the year of production, comments and other  
data. The contents can be freely edited using  
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.  
Although the tags are restricted as to the num-  
ber of characters, the information can be  
viewed when the track is played back.  
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working  
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-  
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress  
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-  
ventional disc.  
MS ADPCM  
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential  
pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-  
cording system used for the multimedia soft-  
ware of Microsoft Corporation.  
ISO9660 format  
This is the international standard for the for-  
mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the  
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the  
following two levels.  
Multi-session  
Multi-session is a recording method that al-  
lows additional data to be recorded later.  
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or  
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is  
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions on one disc.  
Level 1:  
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-  
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English  
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the  
_sign, with a file-extension of three charac-  
ters.)  
Level 2:  
Number of quantization bits  
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-  
cluding the separation mark .and a file ex-  
tension). Each folder contains less than 8  
hierarchies.  
Extended formats  
Joliet:  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
The number of quantization bits is one factor  
in the overall sound quality; the higher the  
bit-depth, the better the sound quality. How-  
ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases  
the amount of data and therefore storage  
space required.  
Packet write  
This is a general term for a method of writing  
on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,  
60

Appendix  
Additional Information  
just as is done with files on floppy or hard  
discs.  
VBR  
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally  
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more  
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit  
rate according to the needs of audio compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.  
WAV  
WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard  
audio file format for Windows®.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-  
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using  
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.
