SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

The CD player uses an invisible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure. Be sure to operate the player as instructed.

1. CD PLAYER OUTLINE

• (a) A CD player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on CDs. By converting the digital signals to analog, music and other contents can be played.

CAUTION:

Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed. NOTICE:

• Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
• Do not apply oil to the CD player.
• Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.
• (b) Usable CDs
• (c) Precautions for use of discs

NOTICE:

• Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.
• Dual discs cannot be played. Playing dual discs may cause malfunctions of the CD player.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt, or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
• Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be played.
• PAL or SECAM color television standard discs cannot be played. (Only NTSC discs can be played.)
• Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave your fingerprints on them.
• Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.

AV

• Leaving the disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.
• If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, CDR labels, or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
• Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
• Do not use odd-shaped CDs because these may cause player malfunctions.
• Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected, or played normally.

HINT:

• When it is cold or it is raining, if the windows mist up, mist and also dew may form in the player. In such a case, the CD may skip or the CD may stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.
• The CD may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough road or similar uneven surface(s).

(d) Cleaning

NOTICE:

Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.

• (1) If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the center to the outside in a radial direction.

NOTICE:

• Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
• Use of solvent such as a record spray, antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine, and thinner, or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

2. MP3/WMA OUTLINE

• (a) Playable MP3 file standards

Table Caption: This table outlines the MP3 audio playback capabilities, detailing compatible standards (MPEG1 LAYER3 and MPEG2 LSF LAYER3), supported sampling frequencies and bit rates for each, and acceptable channel modes.

2. (d) Usable media

• (1) Only CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable), and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be used to play MP3/WMA files.

NOTICE:

• CD-Rs and CD-RWs are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played.
• If there are fingerprints or scratches on the disc, the disc may not be played or the CD may skip.
• Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.

HINT:

• As for MP3/WMA files written in any format other than those above, the contents of the files may not be played normally or the file names or folder names may not be displayed correctly.
• This player is compatible with multi-session discs and can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs on which MP3/WMA files are added.
