MP3 INTRODUCTION

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*).

*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is

Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher

bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is

128 Kbps.

• For details information about the MP3

discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA”

(separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

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 both ID3v1 (Version 1) and

ID3v2 (version 2) tags on the display. (See page

19.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a

disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

How are MP3 files recorded

and played back?

MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”

—in PC terminology.

During recording, the files and folders can be

arranged in a way similar to arranging files and

folders of computer data.

“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file

and folder can be linked to and be accessed from

the root.

The illustration below 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:

• This 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.

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without

the extension code <.mp3>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 file encoded

with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This 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.

MP3 OPERATIONS

Notes:

• MP3 discs require a longer readout time.

(It differs due to the complexity of the folder/file

configuration.)

• When playback starts, folder and file names (or ID3

tags) will automatically appear. (See also page 19.)

• If you change the source or turn the power off, disc

playback stops (without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select the CD player as the source or

turn the power on, disc play starts from where

playback has been stopped previously.

MAINTENANCE

Center holder

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,

CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and

CD Texts.

• This unit is also compatible with MP3 discs.

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 be played

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.

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.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read

their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played

back on this unit because of their disc

characteristics, and for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than

that of regular CDs.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high

temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave

them inside your car.

• Do not use 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or

damage to discs. For example,

– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc.

– Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs

cannot be ejected.

– Print on discs may get sticky.

Read instructions or cautions about labels and

printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") 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.
