MP3 and WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size using
MP3 compression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Mi crosoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3
format.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to
the media/formats on which the files are recorded.
● MP3 file compatibility
• Compatible standards
MP3 (MPEG1 AUDIO LAYERII, III, MPEG2 AUDIO LAYERII, III,

● File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those
with the extension .mp3 or .wma.
● ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track
title, artist name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 ID3
tags. (The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

MP3 and WMA playback
• When a device containing MP3 or WMA files is connected, all files in the
USB memory are checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3
or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we rec-
ommend that you do not include any files other than MP3 or WMA files or
create any unnecessary folders.
• When the USB memory is connected and the audio source is changed to USB memory mode, the USB memory will start playing the first file in the
first folder.
If the same device is removed and reinserted (and the contents have not
been changed), the USB memory will resume play from the same point in
which it was last used.
● Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and
WMA files, they will be skipped (not played).
● Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady s ound quality, we recommend a fixed bit
rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3
and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encod-
ing and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback
may result.
In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
WARNING
■ Caution while driving
Do not connect USB memory or operate the controls.
Doing so may cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to USB memory or its terminal
●Do not leave USB memory in the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehi-
cle may become high.
● Do not push down on or apply unnecessary pressure to the USB memory
while it is connected.
● Do not insert foreign objects into the port.
