Maintenance
ENGLISH 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 receiver 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 receiver turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

More about this receiver

Turning on the power

By pressing CD or FM/AM on the receiver, you can also turn on the power. When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects. Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Turning off the power

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.

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

Tuner operations

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.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only finalized CD-Rs or CD-RWs. This receiver 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 receiver 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 receiver because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes: Discs are dirty or scratched. Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the receiver. The pickup lens inside the receiver 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. 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 discs.
Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS signalsPI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate. If a Traffic Announcement is received, the volume level (TA Volume) automatically changes to the preset level.

General

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

General settingsPSM

If you change the AMP GAIN setting from HIGH PWR to LOW PWR while the volume level is set higher than VOL 30, the receiver automatically changes the volume level to VOL 30.

Disc cannot be played back.
No MP3/WMA tracks are recorded on the disc. MP3/WMA tracks do not have the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> in their file names. MP3/WMA tracks are not recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.
Change the disc. Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to their file names. Change the disc. (Record MP3/WMA tracks using a compliant application.) Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.) Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.

Noise is generated. MP3/WMA playback
The track played back is not an MP3/WMA track (although it has the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>). Readout time varies due to the complexity of the folder/ file configuration. Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
A longer readout time is required (CHECK keeps flashing on the display). Tracks cannot be played back as you have intended them to play.
Elapsed playing time is not This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused correct. by how the tracks are recorded on the disc. NO FILES appears on the display. Correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name). The current disc does not contain any MP3/WMA tracks. This receiver can only display alphabets (capital: A Z), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. Insert a disc that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
