Introduction 9
Before Use
•Always replace fuses with fuses of the same specified
capacity (amperage). Using a fuse with a higher capacity
than the specification may result in a fire.
•If a foreign object or water enters the unit, smoke or a
strange odor may be emitted. If such an abnormality occurs,
stop using the unit immediately and contact your SUBARU
dealer. An accident, fire or electric shock may result if you
continue to use the unit under these conditions.
•In a thunderstorm, do not touch the antenna line or the unit.
Lightning may cause an electric shock.
•Do not park or stop in prohibited areas to use the unit.
•If direct sunlight shines into the vehicle, light may reflect off
the product. Be very careful while driving.
•Never use headphones or earphones while driving. Driving
while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle
may result in a traffic accident.
CAUTION
•Although the unit can be used when the ignition switch is
set to either ON or ACC, to protect the battery, start the
engine before using the unit.
•Do not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing
so may result in an electric shock or other injury.
•While driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear
outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds
from outside the vehicle may result in an accident.
•Be careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a
loud noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power,
it may damage your hearing.
•Do not apply a strong force to the display. Doing so may
result in a malfunction.
•Do not put your fingers or hands into the disc slot or SD
memory card slot. Doing so may result in an injury.
•Do not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may
burn you.
•Do not use while there is an abnormality such as sound
breakup or distortion. Doing so may result in a fire.
•Using the unit during extremely high or low temperature
may result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In
particular, the temperature inside the vehicle can often rise
to a high level during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for
example by opening a window, before using the unit.
•Be careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is
exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a
malfunction.
•The touch buttons on the display screen may not operate
correctly if condensation forms inside them. If this happens,
do not attempt to operate the switches until the
condensation has disappeared.

About MP3/WMA
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is a standard format for audio compression. By
using MP3, a file can be compressed to about 1/10 of the original size.
WMA ( Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft's audio compression technology.
WMA files can be compressed to a size even smaller than MP3 files.
This unit only supports certain MP3/WMA file standards, recorded media
and formats. Take note of the following when writing MP3/WMA files onto a
disc.
■About the supported MP3 file standards

■About ID3/WMA tags
In MP3/WMA files, you can enter textual attribute information known as
ID3 tags/WMA tags to save information such as track titles and artist
names.
This unit supports ID3v.1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 tags. This unit supports
the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 and 7 codes only. Use only the ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 or 7
codes to record tags. If characters not included in ISO 8859-1, 2, 5 or 7
codes are recorded, they may not be readably displayed.
This unit supports the WMA tag ASF revision (v1.20.02). WMA tags using
only Unicode are supported. Always use Unicode characters to enter
the information.
* When Ver. 1.x and Ver. 2.x of the ID3 tags both exist, precedence is given to
Ver. 2.x.

Voice Control System Operations
About the Voice Control System
By using the voice control system (voice input microphone and
button), you can perform navigation and audio operation by saying
voice commands. This enables you to use functions that are usually
inoperable while driving.
The voice control system may not recognize the voice command if you
do not say it correctly.
Be aware of the following points that will assist correct recognition.
•Speak after you hear the “beep”. If you speak before or at the same
time as the “beep”, your command will not be recognized.
•Speak in a loud and clear voice.
•Some voices may be difficult to recognize.
•Keep the windows closed as much as possible while speaking. Noise
such as wind or other external sounds may prevent correct
recognition. Also, if the air conditioner fan is too loud, it may prevent
correct recognition.
•The system does not support regional variations or alternative
phrases. Be sure to say the specified phrases.Under the following conditions, the voice recognition mode will be
turned off:
•Within 8 seconds after guidance, talkback or help voice finishes
playing, no voice is recognized.
( When the screen is operated, counting of 8 seconds starts again
after the screen is touched.)
•The voice recognition button is pressed and held.
•The Steering button or Hard button (excluding the Voice
Recognition button) is pressed.
•A call is received.
NOTE
When voice recognition is started, the current audio output is muted or paused.
