Safety Information
Thank you for purchasing the player. Please read this manual carefully before operating and reserve it for future reference.
PRECAUTIONS
Use only in a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical system.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal while mounting and connecting the unit.
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with an identical amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating may cause serious
damage to the unit.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the unit. Laser beams from the optical pickup are dangerous to the eyes.
Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do not get inside the unit; they may cause malfunctions, or create safety hazards such as electrical
shock or laser beam exposure.
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.
Keep the volume at a level at which you can hear outside warning sounds (horns sirens, etc.).
CD Notes
Playing a defective or dusty CD can cause dropouts in sound.
Hold CDs as illustrated.
Do not touch the unlabeled side.
Do not attach any seal, label or data protection sheet to either side of a disc.
Do not expose a CD to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Wipe a dirty CD from the center outward with a cleaning cloth.
Never use solvents such as benzine or alcohol.
This unit cannot play 3-inch ( 8cm ) CDs.
NEVER insert a 3-inch CD contained in the adapter or an irregularly shaped CD. The unit may not be able to eject it, resulting in a
malfunction.
Before operation
Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
Stop the car before performing any complicated operation.
CAUTION
DO NOT open covers and do not repair yourself. Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
* In addition to ordinary CDs, this unit can playback a CD-R or CD-RW.

MP3 Overview

RDS ( Radio Data System )
RDS service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not available in you area, the following service is not available.
RDS Basics
AF(Alternative Frequency): When the radio signal strength is poor, enabling the AF function will allow the unit to automatically search another station
withthesamePI(programidentication)asthecurrentstationbutwithstrongersignalstrength.
PS (Program Service name): The name of station will be display instead of frequency.
AF Mode:PressAFbuttonbrieytoswitchAFmodeonandoff.
AFindicationonLCDwillashuntilRDSinformationisreceived.
During FM mode when AF is on, radio seek, scan and AMS function can only receive and save RDS program.
CT Service(Clock Time)
When receiving a RDS station, the CT(Clock Time) service automatically adjusts the time.
NO CT is display in areas where CT service is not available.
Trafc Announcements
SomeRDSFMstationsperiodicallyprovidetrafcinformation.
 TP(TrafcProgramIdentication)Broadcastingoftrafcinformation
 TA(TrafcAnnouncementsIdentication)Radioannouncementsontrafcconditions
TA Mode: When TA mode is turned on, the TA indicator will blink.
 Whentrafcannouncementisreceived,theTAindicatorwilldisplay.Theunitwilltemporarilyswitchtothetunermode(regardlessofthecurrent
 mode)andbeginbroadcastingtheannouncementatTAvolumelevel.Afterthetrafcannouncementisover,itwillreturntothepreviousmode

code is received.
EON ( Enhanced Other Networks )
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are enhanced.
 TA:Trafcinformationcanbereceivedfromthecurrentstationorstationsinothernetwork.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated by EON data. EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS information. It
constantly updates the AF list of preset stations, including the one that currently tuned into. If you preset a station around the area at your home,
you will later be able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or any other station serving the same program, EON also keeps
track of locally available TP stations for quick reception.

PTY Reception ( Program Type )
RDSFMstationsprovideaprogramtypeidenticationsignal.
Example: news, rock, info, sport, etc.
PTY Mode: Press PTY to turn on the Program Type reception, the previous PTY type is shown. Press PTY once again to enter the MUSIC type or
press twice to enter the SPEECH type, then use buttons 1 - 6 to select the desired program type. The selected PTY type is shown and searching starts
if no other function is selected for 2 seconds. If there is no corresponding program type, NO PTY is shown and the unit will return to normal mode.
PTY Type Preset: Press PTY once to enter the MUSIC type or press PTY twice to enter the SPEECH type. Then use function 1-6 to select the desired
program type.
