If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-MP3/  
WMA files, therefore, it takes a long time until the  
unit starts playing MP3/WMA.  
• Maximum number of files and folders: 512  
MP3/WMA written in the formats other than the  
above may not be successfully played and their file  
names or folder names are not properly displayed.

• Sampling frequency  
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to  
damage the speakers.  
•
Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/  
WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension.  
The unit mistakes non-MP3/WMA files for MP3/WMA data  
as long as they have the MP3/WMA extension.

MP3/WMA playing order  
When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search,  
or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed  
in the order in which they were written by the CD  
writer.  
Because of this, the order in which they are  
expected to be played may not match the order in  
which they are actually played. You may be able to  
set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played  
by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R  
with their file names beginning with play sequence  
numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your  
CD writer.

circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
3
..........4  
•
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
4
•
..........4  
•
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with  
one with the same rating.  
•
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove  
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the  
terminals.

•
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
..........2  
•
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal  
•
•
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
