ENGLISH

About MP3 and WMA discs

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks” (word “track” and “file” are interchangeably used in this manual) are recorded in “folders.” During recording, the tracks and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data.

“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

Playing a disc

1 Open the control panel.

Note on One-Touch Operation:

When a disc is already in the loading slot, pressing CD/CD-CH LINE turns on the unit and starts playback automatically.

2 Insert a disc into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc, the control panel goes back to the previous position (see page 61), and playback starts automatically.

All tracks will be played repeatedly until you stop playback.

Note:

For details on playable discs and other related information, see page 72.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the disc, but will be annoying.

We recommend that you stop disc play while driving on such rough roads.
