corresponding operation.

Warning:
If you need to operate the unit while driving,
be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be
involved in a traffic accident.

Caution on volume setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared
with other sources. Lower the volume
before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the
output level.

For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as
this will block outside sounds, making driving
dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any
complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot
or cold weather, wait until the temperature in
the car becomes normal before operating the
unit.

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can
also turn on the power. If the source is ready,
playback also starts.

General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),
MP3 and WMA formats.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.

• When a disc is inserted upside down,
“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on
the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.

Selecting the sources

Playing a disc

• When no disc is loaded in the unit, “CD”
cannot be selected.
• “CD-CH” cannot be selected when the target
component is not connected.

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.

Turning off the power

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of NonDVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only the files of the
same type which is first detected if a disc
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and
MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.

16
EN16-21KD-G524[UI]f.indd 16

9/13/05 2:47:48 PM

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal
stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly
printed by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidities may cause malfunctions or
damages to the unit.

with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums,
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version
1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for
WMA files.
• This unit can display only one-byte
characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed.

characters
* The parenthetic figure is the maximum
number of characters for file/folder names in
case the total number of files and folders is
313 or more.
• This unit can play back the files recorded in
VBR (variable bit rate).
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this
difference becomes noticeable.

• This unit can recognize the total of
512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and
MP3 PRO format.

Next time you select “CD” for the playback
source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to protect it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

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.
• Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

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.

Connector

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates.

Do not use the following discs:
Warped disc

Sticker

Disc

Sticker residue

Stick-on label

How to handle discs
Center holder
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.
