MP3/WMA FILE REQUIREMENTS
MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music
files are digital audio files that are compressed
to allow more files on a single CD. This unit can
play MP3/WMA directly from files contained on
a CD-R/RW, USB device or SD card using the
buttons on the receiver (or remote control) as
described below. Many types of software are
available for converting audio files into MP3/
WMA formats. Phase Linear recommends Nero
or Roxio Easy CD Creator. Depending on the
media type and recording method, some CD-R/
RWs may be incompatible with this unit. The
unit supports playback of MP3/WMA and CDDA
(CDA), Mixed-Mode CDs and CD-Extra
(including multi-session discs), but discs on
which the session has not been closed will
not play.
Notes on MP3/WMA Play
This unit can play MP3 (MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio
Layer 3). However, the MP3 recording media
and accepted formats are limited. When writing
MP3/WMA, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
Acceptable Media
The MP3/WMA recording media acceptable to
this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, use full format rather than
quick format to prevent malfunction.
Acceptable Disc Formats
The following formats are available for the
media used in this unit. The maximum number
of characters used for file name including the
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are
indicated in parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (11 characters)
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
• Joliet (31 characters)
• Romeo (31 characters)
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the
long file name format. For a list of available
characters, see the instruction manual of the
writing software and the section “Entering File
and Folder Names” below. The media
reproducible on this unit has the following
limitations:
• Maximum number of nested folders: 8
• Maximum number of files per disc: 999
• Maximum number of folders per disc: 255
MP3/WMA written in formats other than those
listed above will not play successfully and their
file names or folder names will not be displayed
properly.
MP3/WMA Encoder and CD
Writer Settings
Use the following settings when compressing
audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.
• Transfer bit rate: 32 - 320 kbps
• Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1, 48kHz
(WMA) and 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48kHz
(MP3)
When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up
to the maximum disc capacity, disable
additional writing. To record an empty disc up to
the maximum capacity at once, select the “disc
at once” option.

BT1613
11
Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1.
For the character codes, refer to the table
below.
Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters are the
only file names and folder names that can be
entered and displayed. Other characters will not
display correctly. The unit recognizes and plays
only files with the MP3/WMA extension.
NOTE: A file name entered with characters
not on the code list may not play correctly.
Writing Files into a Disc
When a disc containing MP3/WMA data is
loaded, the unit checks all data. If the disc
contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files,
MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take
time for the unit to move to the next file, and
searches may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a disc may produce loud noise
and cause damage to the speakers.
NOTE: Do not attempt to play a disc
containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the
MP3/WMA extension or a disc containing
non MP3/WMA files.
Electronic Shock Protection
• 10 seconds for CDDA (CDA)
• 60 seconds for MP3/WMA recorded at
44.1kHz, 128kbps
Bit Rates
The unit supports bit rates from 32 - 320 kbps.
File Playing Order
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder
Search, File Search or Folder Select) are
accessed in the order they were written by the
CD writer. As a result, 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
disc such as a CD-R with their file names
beginning with play sequence numbers such as
"01" to "99".
For example, a disc with the following folder/file
hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File
Search or Folder Select as shown below.

BLUETOOTH OPERATION
Before attempting to use the Bluetooth
functions on the BT1613, please make sure
your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions
(Headset or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere
to the following guidelines for successful
operation.
• Before using Bluetooth functions, you
must pair your mobile phone to the
BT1613 head unit. (See “Pairing the
Bluetooth system with your Mobile Phone
and Head Unit” on page 18.) To ensure the
best reception for pairing and re-
connection, please make sure the phone
battery is fully charged before you begin.
• Try to perform pairing within a few minutes
of the phone being turned on.
• Once the unit has been paired with the
phone, “BT60A” will be displayed on the
mobile phone.
• To achieve the best performance, always
keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of
the head unit.
• Always keep a clear path between the
mobile phone and the head unit. Never
place a metal object or any other obstacle
between the mobile phone and the head
unit.
• Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson)
may have a "Power Saving Mode" option.
PLEASE DO NOT use the Power saving
Mode with the BT1613.
• Before accepting or making a call, make
sure your mobile phone's “Bluetooth
function” is turned on.
• To ensure the best conversation quality/
performance, stay within one meter of the
head unit when talking.
• To “disconnect” the mobile phone from the
head unit, turn the Bluetooth connectivity
off on the mobile phone or use the DIS-
CON (disconnect) feature under the
System Menu (see “RE-CON/DIS-CON”
on page 3).
• While talking in Telephone mode, it is
recommended that you set the main
volume level below “30”. A higher volume
setting may create an unwanted echo in
the vehicle that can feed back into the
microphone.
• If you have difficulty pairing or the
Bluetooth operation is not functioning
properly, you can try a “soft reset” by
removing the front panel (see “Front Panel
Release” on page 4) and waiting 1 minute.
If after reattaching the panel, operation
has not resumed normally, you can
perform a complete system Reset (see
“Reset Button” on page 5).
Pairing the Bluetooth system
with your Mobile Phone and
Head Unit
1. Press and hold the DISP button (9) to
access the MENU. “PAIR HF” is the first
option on the menu.
2. Press the AUDIO CONTROL button (4) to
initiate the pairing process. Keep the
mobile phone within 2 meters of the unit
during pairing.
3. Refer to the instructions that came with
your mobile phone to activate the
Bluetooth function and search for devices.
4. Select “BT60A” from the pairing list on the
mobile phone.
5. Enter “1234” as the password.
• If pairing is successful, the display
will show your device name.
• If pairing fails, “PAIR FAIL” is flashed
on the display for 3 seconds, and
then the unit will revert to the
previous operation automatically. If
pairing fails, repeat the above steps.
NOTE: During Pairing, only the Power,
Volume +/-, B (Clear) and Mute keys are
functional. Other keys are disabled during
pairing mode.
