and played back? MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “directories (folders)”—in PC terminology. During recording, the files and directories can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and directories/folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and directory can be linked to and be accessed from the root. Playback order, file search order, and directory search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the directories and the files. The illustration on the next page shows an example of how MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this unit. Notes: • The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3 files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction. • The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code—mp3. • This player is not compatible with the data encoded with Layer1and Layer 2 formats. • The unit is not compatible with Playlist**. **A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which enables users to make their own playback order without physically rearranging the files. Precautions when recording MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet. What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. * Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits/ second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps. This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs. Compatible with ID3v1 Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file. This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name, performer name and song title) on the display. (See page 47.) • Some characters cannot be shown correctly. • This unit is not compatible with ID3v2. Other Main Features in this unit: • Maximum number of directories/files: 289 (Total) • Available characters for directory/file names: A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore) • Maximum number of characters for file name (ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”) (ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”) (Joliet): 64 (inclusive of separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”) • Maximum number of characters for directory name: 64 EN18 24LH2000[U]f 5 3/28/02 14 24 18

Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order. • The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order. Note: There is no limit on the number of the hierarchy levels (nested directories). However, it is recommend to limit the numbers of hierarchy levels up to 8 for stable operations. EN18 24LH2000[U]f 5 3/28/02 14 24 19

This unit is not connected to a CD changer correctly. MP3 files do not have the extension code—mp3 in their file names. MP3 files are not recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, ISO 9660 Level 2, or Joliet. Files are encoded in Layer 1 or Layer 2 format. The file played back is not an MP3 file (although it has the extension code—mp3). Readout time varies due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration. Playback order is determined when the files are recorded. This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused by how the files are recorded on the disc. The current directory does not contain any MP3 files. The current MP3 disc does not contain any MP3 files. This unit can only display alphabets (capital: A–Z, small: a–z), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. Symptoms • “No Disc” flashes on the display . • “Reset 8” flashes on the display . • “Reset 1” – “Reset 7” flashes on the display. • Disc cannot be played back. • Files skip, or 00'00" appears and playback stops. • Noise is generated. • A longer readout time is required (“File Check” keeps flashing on the display). • Files cannot be played back as you have intended them to play. • Elapsed playing time is not correct. • “MP3” flashes on the display. • “No Files” appears on the display for a while, then “Please Eject” appears. • Correct characters are not displayed. (e.g. album name) Remedies Insert a disc. Connect this unit and the CD changer correctly and press the reset button of the CD changer. Press the reset button of the CD changer. Add the extension code—mp3 to their file names. Change the disc. (Record MP3 files using a compliant application.) Insert a disc that contains files encoded in Layer 3 format. Skip to another file or change the disc. (Do not add the extension code—mp3 to non-MP3 files.) Do not use too many hierarchies and directories. Also, do not record any other types of audio tracks together with MP3 files. Select another directory. Insert a disc that contains MP3 files. EN44 47LH2000[U]f 5 3/28/02 14 26 45

unit in the following cases: • After starting the heater in the car. • If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates. When playing a CD-R or CD-RW You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in audio CD format or in MP3 format. However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions. • User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.” • Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully. • Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty. • CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave them inside your car. • CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.) CAUTIONS: • Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.) • Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction. • Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car. • Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs. Center holder Handling discs This unit has been designed to play back CDs and CD-Rs. • You can also play back CD Text. • You can also play back your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either in audio CD format or MP3 format. How to handle discs When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges. • Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface. When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up). • Make sure to store discs into the cases after use. To keep discs clean A dirty disc may not play correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge. To play new discs New discs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a disc is used, this unit may reject the disc. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc. About mistracking: Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the disc, but will be annoying. We recommend that you stop disc playback while driving on such rough roads. EN44 47LH2000[U]f 5 3/28/02 14 26 46
