    biles.
    ❑

    moisture, or dust.
    Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to
    smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure
    that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.
    ❑
    To prevent the microphone from howling, keep proper
    distance between the microphone and the speaker.
    ❑
    Decrease the volume immediately whenever the howl-
    ing is generated.
    Failure to heed this may damage your hearing and speakers.
    Observe the following cautions when installing.
    ❑
    Refer wiring and installation to qualified service per-
    sonnel.

    from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving
    parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the
    leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects
    on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect
    the leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.

    							Notes on Discs
    Notes on CD/CD Media (CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW)
    Notes on
    CD-Rs/RWs
    ¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
    recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
    to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
    scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
    ¡CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
    high humidity than ordinary music CDs.  Leaving them
    inside a car for extended periods may damage them and
    make playback impossible.
    ¡Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
    to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
    (CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
    ¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
    not closed.
    ¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain
    other than CD-DA data or MP3.
    ¡Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc
    for handling it.
    Recording MP3 files on a CD-media
    ¡You are recommended to minimize the chances of mak-
    ing a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3 files.
    ¡If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or files, the
    songs may not play in the intended order, or some songs
    may not play at all.
    ¡Do not record files other than MP3 files and unnecessary
    folder on a disc.
    ¡The name of MP3 file should be added by rules as shown in
    the following descriptions and also comply with the rules of
    each file system.
    ¡You may encounter trouble in playing MP3 files or display-
    ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writ-
    ing software or CD recorders.¡The file extension “.mp3” should be assigned to each file
    depending on the file format.
    ¡This unit does not have the play list function.
    ¡Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
    Disc-at-Once is recommended.

    							Notes on MP3
    Note:MP3 encoding and writing software is not supplied
    with this unit.
    Points to remember when making MP3 files
    ¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
    mended for high quality sounds.
    ¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
    because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
    may be skipped.
    ¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the
    encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user
    manual of your own encoding software and writing soft-
    ware.
    ¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
    more” and “fixed”.

    Notes:
    ¡This unit counts the number of folders irrespective of the
    presence or absence of an MP3 file. 
    ¡If the selected folder does not contain any MP3 files, the
    nearest MP3 files in the order of playback will be played.
    ¡Playback order may be different from other MP3 players
    even if the same disc is used.
    ¡“ROOT” appears when displaying the root folder name.
    Caution
    Never assign the “.mp3”, file name extension to
    a file that is not in the MP3 format. This may
    not only produce noise from the speaker dam-
    age, but also damage your hearing.
