Terms
Packet writeThis 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 discs.
Bit rateThis expresses data volume per sec-
ond, or bps units (bits per second).
The higher the rate, the more infor-
mation is available to reproduce the
sound. Using the same encoding
method (such as MP3), the higher
the rate, the better the sound.
Multi-sessionMulti-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 beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session.
Multi-session is a method of record-
ing more than 2 sessions in one disc.
CD-DACD-DA is an abbreviation of Compact
Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the
uncompressed format of regular
CDs.
ID3 TagThis is a method of embedding track-
related information in a MP3 file. This
embedded information can include
the track title, the artist’s name, the
album title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edit-
ed using software with ID3 Tag edit-
ing functions. Although the tags are
restricted to the number of charac-
ters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
ISO9660 formatThis is the international standard for
the format logic of CD-ROM folders
and files. For the ISO9660 format,
there are regulations for the follow-
ing 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
numerals and the “_” sign, with a file-
extension of three characters.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 charac-
ters (including the separation mark “.”
and a file extension). 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.
m3uPlaylists created using the
“WINAMP” software have a playlist
file extension (.m3u).
MP3MP3 is short for MPEG1 & 2 Audio
Layer3. It is an audio compression stan-
dard 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.
WMAWMA is short for Windows MediaTM
Audio and refers to an audio com-
pression technology that is developed
by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data
can be encoded by using Windows
Media Player version 7 or later.
Microsoft, Windows Media, and the
Windows logo are trademarks, or
registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation in the United States and/
or other countries.
AACAAC is short for Advanced Audio
Coding and refers to an audio com-
pression technology standard used
with MPEG2 and MPEG4.

CD player and care
• Use only CDs that have either of the
two Compact Disc Digital Audio marks
as shown below.
• Use only normal, round CDs. If you
insert irregular, non-round, shaped CDs
they may jam in the CD player or not
play properly.
• Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or
warping before playing. CDs that have
cracks, scratches or are warped may
not play properly. Do not use such
discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-print-
ed) surface when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in
use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do
not expose the discs to high tempera-
tures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply
chemicals to the surface of the discs.• To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft
cloth outward from the center.
• If the heater is used in cold weather,
moisture may form on components
inside the CD player. Condensation
may cause the CD player to malfunc-
tion. If you think that condensation is a
problem, turn off the CD player for an
hour or so to allow it to dry out and
wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth
to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt CD play-
back.
• Never put a label, tape or scratches on
a disc. These will prevent the disc from
being played.
CD-R and CD-RW discs
• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used,
playback is possible only for discs
which have been finalized.
• It may not be possible to play back CD-
R/CD-RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics, scratch-
es or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensa-
tion, etc,. on the lens of this unit.• Playback of discs recorded on a person-
al computer may not be possible,
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Please record
with the correct format. (For details,
contact the manufacturer of the appli-
cation.)
• 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
car.
• Titles and other text information record-
ed on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be
displayed by this unit (in the case of
audio data (CD-DA)).
• This unit conforms to the track skip
function of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The
tracks containing the track skip informa-
tion are skipped automatically (in case
of audio data (CD-DA)).
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this
unit, time to playback will be longer
than when you insert a conventional
CD or CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions accompanying
the CD-R/CD-RW discs before use.
• Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW can not be
played back using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
• This unit will not play back SACD
(Super Audio CD).

There is probably an electrical or mechanical fault in the CD player.
Contact your Scion dealer and ask for repair.
This appears when there is excess current flow.
Contact your Scion dealer and ask for repair.
This appears when the CD player does not work because its temperature is high.
Wait a short while until the vehicle temperature goes down.
This appears when an MP3/WMA/AAC file format is unusual and not supported by
this unit like WAV format recordings.
Please check the MP3/WMA/AAC file format.ERROR 1
