CAUTION
 When inserting or removing disks, operate it while
parked in a safe location, and do not stop in no-

into the slot. This may cause injury, smoke, or re. Take care not to pinch your fingers, etc., when
opening or closing the monitor panel.
 Make sure the monitor panel is closed while driving. Do not leave the monitor panel open, and do not
place any objects on top of the monitor panel.
 The monitor panel cannot be closed when a disk
is in the disk removal state (i.e., partially ejected)
from the disk slot, but depending on the disk state,
it may not be possible to detect that a disk has
been ejected. If the monitor panel is closed while
an undetected ejected disk is still in the slot, there
is a risk that either the disk or the device will be
damaged. When closing the monitor panel, check
that there is no ejected disk in the disk slot before
closing.
 Do not press the [DISC] key while the monitor
panel is opening or closing. The disk or the MMCS
may be damaged.

Correct Disk Handling
Handling Precautions If the disk signal surface is contaminated with
fingerprints or other dirt, the disk may become
unreadable. When holding a disk, do not touch the
signal surface. Gently pinch both edges of the disk,
or hold by the center hole and one edge.
 Do not af x paper or stickers to the disk, or scratch
the disk.
 Do not force a disk into the disk slot while another
disk is already inserted. This may scratch or damage
the disks.Maintenance Periodically clean the disk signal surface. To clean,
use a soft cloth to wipe gently from inside to outside,
without rotating the disk.
 Check that there is no residue in the center hole
and around the circumference of new disks. Using
a disk with residue may cause malfunction, so use a
ballpoint pen, etc., to clean away the residue.Storage Precautions When not in use, make sure to return disks to their
cases and store out of direct sunlight.
 If not using for a long time, make sure to remove
from the device.Disk Playback Environment Using disks in cold ambient temperatures
immediately after turning on the vehicle heater may
cause malfunction due to condensation (water
droplets) forming on the optical parts of the device,
or on the disk. In such cases, remove the disk and
wait a while before use.
 Do not use 8-cm CD adapters. This may cause
malfunction.

performance, or rental of disks is prohibited by law.

MP3/WMA Files
Files in MP3/WMA format written to CD-
ROM and CD-R/RW disks can be played
on this device. The files and media that
can be used are limited, so before writing
les in MP3/WMA format to disk, read the
following carefully. Further, also make sure
to read thoroughly the user manuals to
ensure the correct use of your CD-R/RW
drives and recoding software. Data such
as title information, etc., is stored in the
MP3/WMA le, and can be displayed.
NOTE Distribution of disks or files written (i.e., copied)
from music CDs to others, and uploading to internet
servers, etc., is illegal whether paid or free of charge,
so do not do so.
 Do not add “.mp3/.wma” extensions to files other
than MP3/WMA files. Playing disks to which these
files have been written causes misidentification for
playback, so intense white noise occurs that may
damage the speakers.
 Depending on the recorder and the recording
software used to write to the disk, correct playback
may not be possible. In this case, refer to the user
manuals for the devices and software used.
 Depending on the PC OS type, version, software,
and settings, it may not be possible to add
extensions. In this case,(if it is an MP3/WMA file)
add the “.mp3/.wma” extension to the end of the le
before writing to disk.
 Disks with a mixture of les in MP3 format and WMA
format can be played.
 Where the disk is a mixture of audio tracks and les
in MP3/WMA format, only the files in MP3/WMA
format are played.
Folder Configurations
Up to eight levels of folder can be identi ed.
Tracks can be managed by creating levels
such as genreartistalbumtrack (MP3/WMA
le).
MP3s
MP3 is an abbreviation of “MPEG-
1AudioLayer3”. MPEG is an abbreviation
of “Motion Pictures Experts Group”, and
is the video compression standard used
for video CDs, etc. MP3 is an audio
compression format included in the MPEG
audio standards, and enables files with
a small amount of data to be created
with high quality audio by processing
inaudible sounds that have been buried
in loud noise, as well as sounds in ranges
inaudible to the human ear. The data
on a music CD can be compressed to
approximately 1/10th of its original size
with almost no loss of sound quality, so
it is possible to write approximately the
contents of 10 music CDs to one CD-R/
RW.
