Handling of DiscsE00735900027
This explains care that should be taken in thehandling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints  or  other  marks  on  the  read
surface  of  the  disc  may  result  in  its  con-
tent  being  more  difficult  to  read.  When
holding  the  disc,  grip  both  edges,  or  one edge  and  the  centre  hole,  in  order  that the read surface is not touched.
l Do  not  affix  paper  or  stickers,  or  other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do  not  forcefully  insert  a  disc  if  another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc.  When  cleaning,  do  not  wipe  in  a
circular  motion.  Instead,  wipe  gently outwards  from  the  centre  of  the  disc  to the outer edge.
l New  discs  may  have  burring  around  the
outer  edge  or  in  the  hole  in  the  centre.
Ensure  you  check  for  these.  If  there  are burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When  not  using  discs,  ensure  these  are
kept  in  cases,  and  stored  out  of  direct sunlight.
l If  discs  are  not  going  to  be  used  for  a
long  period  of  time,  remove  these  from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In  cold  environments  such  as  in  mid-winter
when  the  interior  of  the  vehicle  is  cold,  turn- ing  the  heater  on  and  immediately  trying  to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter  droplets)  to  form  on  the  disc  and  internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.
Copyright
Actions  such  as  unauthorized  reproduction,
broadcast,  public  performance,  or  rental  of discs  that  comprise  other  than  personal  use are prohibited by law.

E00736400029
MP3  is  the  abbreviation  of  “MPEG-1  Audio
Layer  3”.  MPEG  is  an  abbreviation  of  “Mo-tion Picture Experts Group”, and this is a vid-
eo  compression  standard  used  in  video  CDs, etc.
MP3  is  one  of  the  audio  compression  meth-
ods  contained  in  the  MPEG  audio  standard,
and reduces the quality of sounds that are be- yond the auditory resolution of the human ear
and  that  are  hidden  by  louder  sounds,  thus
creating  high-quality  data  with  a  lower  data
size.
This can compress CD audio to approximate- ly 1/10 its original data size without percepti-
ble  loss,  approximately  10  CDs  can  be  writ-
ten to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTIONl MP3  files  different  to  the  standards  at  right
may  not  play  back  correctly,  or  file/folder
names may not be displayed correctly.
Standards  for  MP3  Files  That
Can Be Played Back

played are as shown below.
