PROTECT
! Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or warping before playing. CDs that have cracks, scratches or are warped may not play properly. Do not use such discs. ! Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed) surface when handling the disc. ! Store discs in their cases when not in use. ! Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose the discs to high temperatures. ! Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs. ! To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center.
! If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may form on components inside the CD player. Condensation may cause the CD player to malfunction. If you think that condensation is a problem turn off the CD player for an hour or so to allow it to dry out and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth to remove the moisture. ! Road shocks may interrupt CD playback.

! When playing discs with MP3/WMA/AAC/ WAV files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV and CD-DA. ! The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order. ! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3/WMA/ AAC/WAV files and burned to a CD-R/CDRW/CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD.
Important ! When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3,.wma,.m4a or.wav). ! This unit plays back files with the filename extension (.mp3,.wma, m4a or.wav) as an MP3/ WMA/AAC/WAV file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV files.
! The emphasis function is valid only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.) ! There is no m3u playlist compatibility. ! There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats. ! The sound quality of MP3 files generally becomes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
WMA additional information
! This unit plays back WMA files encoded by Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, 8, 9 and 10. ! You can only play back WMA files in the frequencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. ! The sound quality of WMA files generally becomes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 48 kbps to 320 kbps (CBR) or from 48 kbps to 384 kbps (VBR), but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using discs recorded with a higher bit rate. ! This unit doesnt support the following formats. Windows Media Audio 9 Professional (5.1ch) Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless Windows Media Audio 9 Voice
MP3 additional information
! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title), artist (track artist) and comments. Ver. 2.x of ID3 Tag is given priority when both Ver. 1.x and Ver. 2.x exist.

Installation
Before making a final installation of the unit, temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the connections are correct and the system works properly. Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions. Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle. Install the unit where it does not get in the drivers way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop. The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so dont install the unit anywhere hot for instance, near a heater outlet. If installation angle exceeds 60 from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. (Fig. 1) When installing, to ensure proper heat dispersal when using this unit, make sure you leave ample space behind the rear panel and wrap any loose cables so they are not blocking the vents

Instalacin
Antes de finalmente instalar la unidad, conecte el cableado temporalmente y compruebe que las conexiones estn correctas e que el sistema funciona debidamente. Utilice slo las piezas que se incluyen con esta unidad para asegurar la instalacin adecuada. El uso de piezas no autorizadas podra causar fallos de funcionamiento. Consulte con su distribuidor si la instalacin requiere del taladro de orificios u otras modificaciones del vehculo. Instale la unidad donde no alcance el espacio del conductor, y donde no pueda daar a los pasajeros si sucediera un paro repentino, como una detencin de emergencia. El semiconductor lser se daar si se sobrecalienta, por eso no instale la unidad en un lugar caliente por ejemplo, cerca de la salida de un calefactor. Si el ngulo de la instalacin excede los 60 del lado horizontal, la unidad podra no brindar su ptimo funcionamiento (Fig. 1). Cuando instale, para asegurar la dispersin apropiada del calor cuando utilice la unidad, asegrese de dejar un amplio espacio detrs del panel trasero y de enrollar cualesquiera cables sueltos de modo que no bloqueen las aberturas de ventilacin

Connecting the Units

This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation. Refer to the owners manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly. Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body. Dont pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should. Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this unit. Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right speaker leads are common. Speakers connected to this unit must be highpower with minimum rating of 50 W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged. When this products source is switched ON, a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amps system remote control or the cars Auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal. When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the amps power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction. To avoid a short-circuit, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Insulate the unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of a short-circuit if the leads are not insulated. To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors correctly. If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours.
