Digital and analog recording
This product is intended for digital recording from the built-in CD player to the music server. Recording from sources other than the built-in CD, such as multi-CD or AUX, will be recorded in analog. While digital recordings can be made with less loss of quality, we recommend recording from the built-in CD. It is not possible to digitally copy music to the music server if it was digitally recorded from CDs (such as CD-R). This is set by SCMS, the Serial Copying Management System, which has been developed to prevent serial copies (copies of copies). (See page 80.)

Note: If REC is pressed during recording, recording is terminated. In the event of skipping, the recording will revert to the beginning of the track (retry function). On record standby, the current track is repeated. This is cancelled when recording begins. Even if the random, track scan and pause are set to on, the current track is repeated when the mode is switched to the record standby status. When the recording is started, the repeat play is canceled. Fast forward and fast reverse do not operate when the product is on record standby. When performing multi-CD recording, you can set the recording mode (refer to Selecting the recording range on page 30) and the bit rate (refer to Selecting the recording quality on page 30).

CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been subject to the finalize process (a process that allows them to be played back on a conventional CD player) can not be played back. It may not be possible to play back CD-R/CDRW discs recorded on a music CD recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of this unit. Playback of discs recorded on a personal computer may not be possible depending on the application settings and the environment. Please record with the correct format. (For details, contact the manufacturer of the application.) Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become impossible in case of direct exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, or the storage conditions in the car. Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this product (in the case of audio data (CDDA)). This product conforms to the track skip function of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks containing the track skip information are skipped over automatically (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)). If you insert a CD-RW disc into this product, load time to playback will be longer than for a conventional CD or CD-R disc. Read the precautions accompanying the CDR/CD-RW discs before use. Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW can not be played back using the DDCD (Double Density CD) system.
Check all CDs for cracks, scratches or warping before playing. CDs that are cracked, scratched or warped may not play properly. Do not use such discs. Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side) 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 dirt from a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center of the disc.

MP3 files

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard. This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 can be played back. Correspondence to extended format is made with the following conditions. Joliet: Correspondence only to the 8.3 format. Romeo: Correspondence to folder names with up to 64 characters and file names with up to 63 characters (including the extension). Discs that have been recorded in multiple recording sessions are replayed in their first session form only. Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track artist). Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back, the emphasis function is valid. (22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.) MP3 files are not compatible with packet write data transfer. There is no m3u playlist compatibility. There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or mp3PRO format. Precaution: When naming an MP3 file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3). This product plays back files with the filename extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use this extension for files other than MP3 files.

Carrying out auto-equalizing
1. Stop the car in a place that is as quiet as possible, close all doors, windows and the sun roof, and then turn the engine off.
Before operating the auto-equalization function
Carry out auto-equalizing in as quiet a place as possible, with the car engine and air conditioning switched off. Also cut power to car phones or portable telephones in the car, or remove from the car before carrying out autoequalizing. Sounds other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics. Be sure to carry out auto-equalizing using the supplied microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics. Neither front nor rear speaker is connected, auto-equalizing cannot be carried out. When this product is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto-equalizing may not be possible if you lower power amp input level. Set the power amps input level to the standard position.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct auto-equalizing. 2. Fix the supplied microphone in the center of the headrest of the drivers seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately). The auto-equalizer curve may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat to carry out auto-equalizing.
