The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally becomes better with higher
bit rates. This product can play record-
ings with bit rates as follows:MP3 files: 64 kbps to 320 kbps
WMA files: 48 kbps to 320 kbps
But in order to be able to enjoy a
certain sound quality, it is recom-
mended to use only discs recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs record-
er using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using “pre −mastering” software
rather than packet −write software.
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3PRO format.
The MP3/WMA player is compatible
with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
fast −forward or reverse operations are
used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3 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 numerous tiers. For this rea-
son we recommend creating discs with
no more than 2 tiers.
It is possible to play back up to 255
files on one disc.
It is possible to play back up to 192
folders on one disc.

The turn of play of the compact disc
having the structure shown on the left
is as follows:
001 002 . . . 011
The order changes depending on the
PC and MP3/WMA encoding software
you use. CD R and CD RW discs
CD−
R/CD− RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process that allows them to be played
back on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played back.
It may not be possible to play back
CD− R/CD− RW discs recorded on a mu-
sic CD recorder or a personal comput-
er 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 per-
sonal computer may not be possible
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the
manufacturer of the applications.)
Playback of CD −R/CD− RW discs may
become impossible in case of direct
exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures, or the storage conditions in the
vehicle.
Titles and other text information re-
corded on a CD −R/CD− RW disc may
not be displayed by the MP3/WMA
player (in the case of audio data (CD −
DA)).
The MP3/WMA player conforms to the
track skip function of the CD −R/CD−
RW disc.
If you insert a CD −RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, load time to play-
back will be longer than for a conven-
tional CD or CD −R disc.
Read the precautions accompanying
the CD −R/CD− RW discs before use.
Recordings on CD −R/CD− RW cannot
be played back using the DDCD
(Double Density CD) system.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term for a method of
writing on CD−R, etc. at the time required
for a file, just as is done with files on
floppy or hard di scs.
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 methods (such as MP3/WMA),
the higher the rate, the better the sound.
Multi session—
Multi −session is a recording method that
allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD −ROM,
CD− R or CD −RW, etc., all data from be-
ginning to end is treated as a single unit
or session. Multi −session is a method of
recording more than 2 sessions in one
disc.
CD DA—
CD− DA is an abbreviation of Compact
Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom-
pressed format of regular CDs. ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding track
−re-
lated information in an MP3 file. This em-
bedded information can include the track
title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, com-
ments and other data. The contents can
be freely edited using software with ID3
tag editing functions. Although the tags
are restricted to the number of characters,
the information can be viewed when the
track is played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as track
title, artist name.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
format logic of CD −ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are regula-
tions for the following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name
consists of up to 8 characters, half −byte
English capital letters and half −byte nu-
merals and the “ −” sign, with a file exten-
sion of three characters.) Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 (MP3
files)/15 (WMA files) characters (including
the separation mark “.” and a file exten-
sion). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File name can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 charac-
ters.
m3u—
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3—
MP3 is short for MPEG 1 & 2 Audio Layer
3. It is an audio compression standard set
by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standards Organization).
MP3 is able to compress audio data to
about 1/10 the level of a conventional
disc.

1702007 FJ CRUISER from Oct. ’06Prod. (OM35873U)
WMA—
WMA is short for Windows Media
TM Audio.
It is the audio file format developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA is able to
compress audio data to about 1/2 the lev-
el of MP3. The decoding formats for WMA
files are Ver7, 8, and 9.
Windows Media
TM and Windows are reg-
istered trademarks of Microsoft Corpora-
tion in the United States and other coun-
tries.
