deep and rich quality to MP3/
WMA/AAC sound, which gives the
user a lively impression. You can
turn the SRT on and off by turning
the VOLUME knob.

ASL: During driving, noise in the car
changes according to the driving
speed and road conditions. The
automatic sound levelizer (ASL)
monitors such varying noise and
automatically increases the volume
level. If this noise becomes greater,
the sensitivity (variation of volume
level to noise level) of ASL can be
set to one of three levels. Turning
the VOLUME knob changes the
ASL setting as follows:
Turning the VOLUME knob clock-
wise
OFF (Off) =LOW (Low) =MID
(Middle) =HIGH (High)
Turning the VOLUME knob coun-
terclockwise
HIGH (High)=MID (Middle)=
LOW (Low)=OFF (Off)
The initial setting is LOW.

refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
• WMA is short for Windows Media
TMAudio
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology that is developed by Microsoft
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded
by using Windows Media Player version 7
or later.
• AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding
and refers to an audio compression tech-
nology standard.
• 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
information may not be correctly dis-
played.
• This unit allows playback of MP3/ WMA /A AC
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.
• MP3/WMA/AAC 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, .m4a), is 64 ,
from the first character.
• The maximum number of characters whichcan be displayed for a folder name is 64 .
• In case of files recorded according to the
Romeo file system, only the first 64 char-
acters can be displayed.
• 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
permits setting of the playback order.
MP3 additional infor-
mation
• Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.
1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for dis-
play 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 play list compatibility.
• There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats.
• The sound quality of MP3 files generally
becomes better with an increased bit
rates. This unit can play recordings with bit
rates from 32 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.
IMPORTANT
•When naming an MP3/
WMA/AAC file, add the cor-
responding filename exten-
sion (.mp3, .wma, .m4a).
•This unit plays back files
with the filename extension
(.mp3, .wma, .m4a) as an
MP3/ WMA /AAC file. To pre-
vent noise and malfunc-
tions, do not use these
extensions for files other than
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
