For example, the stationssend their station names, as well as informationabout what type of programme they broadcast,such as sports or music, etc.Another advantage of RDS function is calledEnhanced Other Networks. By using theEnhanced Other Networks data sent from astation, you can tune in to a different station of adifferent network broadcasting your favoriteprogramme or traffic announcement whilelistening to another programme or to anothersource such as CD.By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do thefollowing: Tracing the same programme automatically(Network-Tracking Reception) Standby Reception of TA (TrafficAnnouncement) or your favorite programme PTY (Programme Type) search Programme search And some other functionsTracing the same programmeautomatically (Network-TrackingReception)When driving in an area where FM reception isnot good, the tuner built in this unit automaticallytunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting thesame programme with stronger signals. So, youcan continue to listen to the same programme inits finest reception, no matter where you drive.(See the illustration on page 18.)Two types of the RDS data are used to makeNetwork-Tracking Reception work correctlyPI (Programme Identification) and AF(Alternative Frequency).Without receiving these data correctly from theRDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.To use Network-Tracking ReceptionYou can select the different modes of network-tracking reception to continue listening to thesame programme in its finest reception.When shipped from the factory, AF is selected.

MP3 is simply afile format with a data compression ratio of 1:10(128 Kbps*).* Bit rate is the average number of bits that onesecond of audio data will consume. The unit used isKbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higherbit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is128 Kbps. For details information about the MP3discs, refer to A Guide to MP3/WMA(separate volume).Compatible with ID3 TagExtra information data such as album title,performer name, song title, recording year, musicgenre and a brief comment can be stored withinan MP3 file.This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) andID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page25.) Some characters cannot be shown correctly. If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on adisc, ID3v2 information will be shown.How are MP3 files recordedand played back?MP3 files (tracks) can be recorded in foldersin PC terminology.During recording, the files and folders can bearranged in a way similar to arranging files andfolders of computer data.Root is similar to the root of a tree. Every fileand folder can be linked to and be accessed fromthe root.The illustration below shows an example of howMP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW,how they are played back, and how they aresearched for on this unit.Notes: This unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3files. However, if non-MP3 files are recordedtogether with MP3 files, this unit will take a longertime to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit tomalfunction. This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file withoutthe extension code . This unit is not compatible with MP3 file encodedwith Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

Always hold the disc by the edges. Do nottouch its recording surface.When storing a disc into its case, gently insertthe disc around the center holder (with theprinted surface facing up). Make sure to store discs into the cases afteruse.To keep discs cleanA dirty disc may not be playedcorrectly. If a disc does becomedirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in astraight line from center to edge.To play new discsNew discs may have some roughspots around the inner and outeredges. If such a disc is used, thisunit may reject the disc.To remove these rough spots, rubthe edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.Moisture condensationMoisture may condense on the lens inside theCD player in the following cases: After starting the heater in the car. If it becomes very humid inside the car.Should this occur, the CD player maymalfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leavethe unit turned on for a few hours until themoisture evaporates.When playing a CD-R or CD-RWBefore playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, readtheir instructions or cautions carefully. Use only finalized CD-Rs or CD-RWs. Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be playedback on this unit because of their disccharacteristics, and for the following reasons: Discs are dirty or scratched. Moisture condensation on the lens inside theunit. The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. CD-RWs may require a longer readout timesince the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower thanthat of regular CDs. CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to hightemperatures or high humidity, so do not leavethem inside your car. Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: Discs with stickers, labels, or protective sealstuck to the surface. Discs on which labels can be directly printedby an ink jet printer.Using these discs under high temperatures orhigh humidity may cause malfunctions ordamage to discs. For example, Stickers or labels may shrink and warp adisc. Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discscannot be ejected. Print on discs may get sticky.Read instructions or cautions about labels andprintable discs carefully.CAUTIONS: Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into theloading slot.
