The RDS (radio data system) function operates only in areas with FM stations broadcasting RDS signals. Also, this unit damage, smoke, and overheat could result from contact with liquids. MP3 file playback You can play back MP3 files recorded on CDROM/CD-R/CD-RW (ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 standard recordings). [. . . ] When playing discs with MP3/WMA/WAV files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/ WMA/WAV and CD-DA with BAND. If you have switched between playback of MP3/WMA/WAV files and audio data (CD-DA), playback starts at the first track on the disc. The built-in CD player can play back an MP3/ WMA/WAV file recorded on CD-ROM. There is sometimes a delay between starting up CD playback and the sound being issued. # You cannot select a folder that does not have an MP3/WMA/WAV file recorded in it. When playing back files recorded as VBR (variable bit rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if fast forward or reverse operations are used. If the inserted disc contains no files that can be played back, NO AUDIO is displayed. If the inserted disc contains WMA files that are protected by digital rights management (DRM) , SKIPPED is displayed while the protected file is skipped. Playing tracks in a random order Random play lets you play back tracks in a random order within the repeat range, FRPT (folder repeat) and disc repeat. # If you turn random play on during FRPT, FRDM appears in the display. For MP3/WMA/WAV playback, there are three repeat play ranges: FRPT (folder repeat), RPT (one-track repeat) and disc repeat. Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings: Play timeFOLDER (folder name)FILE (file name)Sampling frequency # You can only play back WAV files in the frequencies 16, 22. Press AUDIO repeatedly to switch between the following audio functions: FAD (balance adjustment)EQ (equalizer) LOUD (loudness)FIE (front image enhancer)SLA (source level adjustment) There are six stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. # If you do not operate the audio function within about 30 seconds, the display is automatically returned to the source display. You can select a fader/balance setting that provides an ideal listening environment in all occupied seats. When EQ FLAT is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between EQ FLAT and a set equalizer curve. Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the following equalizers: SPR-BASSPOWERFULNATURAL VOCALCUSTOMEQ FLAT If you make adjustments when a curve other than CUSTOM is selected, the newly adjusted curve will replace the previous curve. Then a new curve with CUSTOM appears on the display while selecting the equalizer curve. If you make adjustments when a curve other than CUSTOM is selected, the newly adjusted curve will replace the previous curve. Then a new curve with CUSTOM appears on the display while selecting the equalizer curve. You can adjust the center frequency and the Q factor (curve characteristics) of each currently selected curve band (EQ-L/EQ-M/EQ-H). [. . . ] This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps. This unit plays back WAV files encoded in Linear PCM (LPCM) format or MS ADPCM format. The sound quality of WAV files generally becomes better with a larger number of quantization bits. This unit can play recordings with 8 and 16 (LPCM) or 4 (MS ADPCM) quantization bits, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using discs recorded with the larger number of quantization bits.
