●Do not operate the player’s con-
trols or connect to the Blue-
tooth
® audio system while
driving.
●Your audio unit is fitted with
Bluetooth® antennas. People
with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should maintain a reason-
able distance between
themselves and the Bluetooth
®
antennas. The radio waves may
affect the operation of such
devices.
●Before using Bluetooth®
devices, users of any electrical
medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer
of the device for information
about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio
waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such
medical devices.

disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
 WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.
 The emphasis function is
available only when playing
MP3 files.
 This system can play back
AAC files encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of
MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates.
 m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio
player.
 The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
 When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or reverse
operations are used.
 It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be
played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when using USB memory
containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating USB
memory with no more than 2
levels of folders.
 The play order of the USB
memory with the structure
shown above is as follows:
 The order changes depending
on the personal computer and
MP3/WMA/AAC encoding
software you use.
