Setting RDS Reception Mode and Receiving RDS Stations
The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information system using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM broadcast. The RDS allows you to receive a variety of information such as traffic information, station names, and to automatically re-tune to a stronger transmitter that is broadcasting the same programme.
If the preset station and the stations in the AF list cannot be received:
When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to PI SEEK Setting page 11), the unit searches again for a station in the PI (Programme Identification) list. If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset no. disappears. If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset button to tune in a Regional station in other district.
Select AF mode by sliding your finger on the GlideTouch bar to the left or right. Press the GlideTouch bar under the AF mode to active the RDS mode. Press g or f to tune in the desired RDS station. To deactivate the RDS mode, press FUNC., or activate the audio function mode by touching the GlideTouch bar. Select the AF mode by sliding your finger on the GlideTouch bar to the left or right.

About MP3/WMA

CAUTION Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty. What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC. MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
Within 10 seconds, select the folder to play back by sliding your finger on the GlideTouch bar to the left or right. Press -/J to play the selected folder.
The first file in the selected folder is played back. To search for a file in the selected folder, press the GlideTouch bar or FUNC. to change to the file search mode. Refer to File Name Search mode for operation.
Search mode is cancelled by pressing and holding for at least 2 seconds in Folder Name Search mode. While in File Name Search mode, press to return to the selecting search mode. NO FILE is displayed for 2 seconds if the folder that is selected by the Folder Name Search mode contains no files. ROOT is displayed for a root folder that does not have a folder name. Folder Name search cannot be made during M.I.X. play. If a disc contains only the root folder, Folder Name Search cannot be made.

Producing MP3/WMA discs

MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CDRW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders). However, the maximum number of folders is 255.

Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CDRs, and CD-RWs.
Corresponding File Systems
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember. The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited. Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and _ (underscore). This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.

Formats supported

This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session. This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At Once or packet writing.
