Although you may encounter the following problems in a route search, there is nothing
wrong with the system.
The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should always pay
attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may be unable to arrive at your
destination due to out-of-date information on a map disc. You should be especially careful
when selecting an urgent destination such as a hospital or a police station.

nOperating tips for MP3
l
This audio system handles MP3 files that
have been recorded on CD-R/CD-RW/CD-
ROMs. Discs that have been recorded
using the following formats can be played:
• ISO 9660 level 1
• ISO 9660 level 2
• Joliet extended format
• Romeo extended format
l This unit handles MP3 files conforming to
the MP3 format containing both header
frames and data frames.
l If a disc has both music data (CD-DA) and
MP3 files, playback of the two file types
differs depending on how the disc was
recorded.
l Packet written discs cannot be played on
this unit.
l This unit does not play CDs recorded
using MP3i (MP3 interactive), MP3 PRO
and RIFF MP3 formats. Specialized glossary
MP3
Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”.
A technical standard for audio compression
as decided by an ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) MPEG
working group.
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of the
source data size.
ISO 9660
An international standard for logical
formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.
It is divided into three separate levels based
on differences in file naming procedures,
data configuration and other characteristics.
Bit rate
Refers to the volume of data per second,
expressed in bps (bits per second).
Generally, the larger the number of the
transfer bit rate when compressing an MP3
file, the more information regarding musical
reproduction it carries, and therefore the
better the sound quality.
Packet writing
A general term for the method, similar to that
used for floppy discs or hard drives, of
recording the required file in a single
increment on a CD-R and similar.

nCD-TEXT
Music CDs are available in which separate
music data including album/title names,
music name, artist name, and other textual
information can be recorded. The data stan-
dard for recording textual information to
these kinds of music CDs is termed CD-
TEXT.
There are two regions of a CD where textual
information can be recorded which include
regions related to the entire CD (Attributes
recorded for the entire CD) and individual
track regions (Attributes recorded for individ-
ual tracks). As for this audio unit, textual information
(Album/artist information), which can be
recorded on individual track regions,
appears on the display. Textual information
(Artist and other information), which can be
recorded to regions related to the entire CD,
does not appear on the display.
Unless all the textual information is input in
one-byte characters, a dotted line (----) will
appear in place of the textual information,
even if one of the characters is not a one-
byte character (Two-byte character).
