Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
Caring for disc
If the temperature inside the car is too high, open the car windows to venti-
late before using the system.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permission.
Use CDs that are created only by
lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents, such as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
Make certain only CDs are insert- ed into the CD player (Do not insert
more than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt. Depending on the type of CD-
R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
the manufacturing companies. In
such circumstances, continued
use may cause malfunctions to
your audio system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE - Playing an
Incompatible Copy
Protected Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do
not comply with international audio
CD standards (Red Book), may not
play on your car audio. Please note
that inabilities to properly play a copy
protected CD may indicate that the
CD is defective, not the CD player.
NOTE:
Order of playing files (folders) :
1. Song playing order : to
sequentially.
2. Folder playing order :
❋ If no song file is contained in the
folder, that folder is not displayed.
CAUTION
When using a communication
system such as a cellular phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle,a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a cellularphone or a radio set is usedwith an internal antenna alone,it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system andadversely affect safe operationof the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.

USING THE USB DEVICE
To use an external USB device,make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the vehi-
cle. Connect the device after start-
ing up.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB device is
connected, the external USB
device may not work.
The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
Take precautions for static electrici- ty when connecting or disconnect-
ing the external USB device.
(Continued)(Continued)
An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is not
recognizable.
Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the connect-
ed external USB device can be
unrecognizable.
When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or 2048BYTE,
then the device will not be recog-
nized.
Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
Make sure the USB connection ter- minal does not come in contact
with the human body or other
objects.
If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a short
period of time, it may break the
device.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnecting
a USB device.
If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in USB
mode, the external USB device
can be damaged or may malfunc-
tion. Therefore, disconnect the
external USB device when the
audio is turned off or in another
mode. (e.g, Radio, CD)
Depending on the type and capac- ity of the external USB device or
the type of the files stored in the
device, there is a difference in the
time taken for recognition of the
device.
Do not use the USB device for pur- poses other than playing music
files.
Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble.

If you use devices such as a USB
hub purchased separately, the
vehicle’s audio system may not
recognize the USB device. In that
case, connect the USB device
directly to the multimedia terminal
of the vehicle.
If the USB device is divided by log- ical drives, only the music files on
the highest-priority drive are recog-
nized by car audio.
Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can
be unrecognizable by standard
USB I/F can be unrecognizable.
Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile
devices.
USB HDD or USB types liable to connection failures due to vehicle
vibrations are not supported.
(i-stick type)
Some non-standard USB devices (METAL COVER TYPE USB) can
be unrecognizable.
(Continued)(Continued)
Some USB flash memory readers
(such as CF, SD, micro SD, etc.) or
external-HDD type devices can be
unrecognizable.
Music files protected by DRM (DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGE-
MENT) are not recognizable.
The data in the USB memory may be lost while using this audio.
Always back up important data on
a personal storage device.
Please avoid using USB memory products
which can be used as
key chains or cellular
phone accessories as they could
cause damage to the USB jack.
Please make certain only to use
plug type connector products.

An external device can be connected
to play music.
Connecting an External Device
External audio players (Camcorders,
car VCR, etc.) can be played through
a dedicated cable.
If an external device connector is
connected with the AUX terminal,
then AUX mode will automatically
operate. Once the connector is dis-
connected, the previous mode will be
restored.
AUX mode can be used only when
an external audio player (camcorder,
car VCR, etc.) has been connected.
The AUX volume can be controlled
separately from other audio modes.
Connecting a connector jack to the
AUX terminal without an external
device will convert the system to
AUX mode, but only output noise.
When an external device is not being
used, also remove the connector
jack.
When the external device power is
connected to the power jack, playing
the external device may output
noise. In such cases, disconnect the
power connection before use.
Fully insert the AUX cable to the AUX
jack upon use.
