Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS Basics

Some FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible with RDS. This radio set offers convenient functions using such data. RDS service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not available in your area, the following service is not available, either. This chapter explains the summary and operation regarding RDS. The following functions are available when receiving RDS stations.

Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files

Common

High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended 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 software.
It is recommended to set the bit rate to 128 kbps or more and fixed.

Supported file systems

ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 9660, Joliet, Romeo Note: Apple HFS, UDF 1.50, Mix CD(CD Extra) is not supported.
It is recommended to set the bit rate to 64 kbps or more and fixed. Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file to enable this unit to play back.
Compression formats (Recommendation: Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files on the previous page )
Compression method MPEG 1 audio layer 3 (MP3) MPEG 2 audio layer 3 (MP3) Bit rate 32k-320 kbps 8k-160 kbps 64k-192 kbps VBR Yes Yes No Sampling frequency 32, 44.1, 48 kHz 16, 22.05, 24 kHz 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
Caution: Never assign the mp3, or wma file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.

Electrical Connections
Cautions: Check the connectors provided on your car (see precaution below) before connecting the system. This unit is designed for use in a car having a 12volt negative ground battery system. To prevent damage to the unit, be sure to follow the connection diagram. Strip about 5 mm of the lead ends for connection (only non-ISO connector cords). Do not insert the power connector into the unit until the wiring is completed. Be sure to insulate any exposed wires to prevent short circuiting with the car chassis. Bundle all cables, and prevent cable terminals from touching any metal parts.

What is MP3/WMA?

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The former is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media (This figures refer to data recorded on a 650MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz). Notes: MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not supplied with this unit. CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on 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 and make playback impossible. Some CD-R/RWs can not be played back successfully thanks 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 contains other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
