screen displays possible.  
When you use the sloping console, be sure to  
close it.

playback may not be possible. If moisture  
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth.  
If moisture forms on the optical parts of the  
player, do not use the player for about one  
hour. The condensation will disappear  
naturally allowing normal operation.  
1. For safety’s sake, always close the  
SLOPING CONSOLE before leaving this unit  
unused for a prolonged period or switching  
OFF the ignition key.  
3. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which  
cause severe vibration may cause the sound  
to skip.  
If you switch OFF the ignition key with the  
SLOPING CONSOLE tilted, the SLOPING  
CONSOLE does not close.  
INFORMATION FOR USERS:  
2. Before the SLOPING CONSOLE closes,  
there may be a braking sound from the  
safety mechanism. This is normal.  
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS  
PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE

close, the safety mechanism is triggered and  
the SLOPING CONSOLE returns to the open  
state. If this happens, remove the  
obstruction, then press the [Q] button.

Basic Operations  
Compensation  
Setting P.EQ  
There is no need to compensate frequency  
characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or  
valleys) when you have measured the  
frequency characteristics with a measuring  
device. However, sometimes the frequency  
characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this  
happens, the frequency characteristics must be  
compensated. Create a frequency curve having  
characteristics that are opposite to the center  
frequency of parts where the characteristics rise  
and fall to cancel out these peaks and values,  
and make the frequency characteristics as flat  
as possible.  
P.EQ (Parametric Equalizer) allows you to  
compensate the entire frequency level range in  
detail by smooth curve using frequency  
compensation matched to the type of your car.  
The item corresponding to the system set in the  
section “Selecting speaker system” (page 11)  
will be displayed.

and copyright-protected files cannot be  
played.  
MP3/WMA/AAC  
What is MP3?  
• When playing AAC files that include image  
data, additional time may be required before  
playback begins.  
MP3 is an audio compression method and  
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.  
This audio compression method has penetrated  
into PC users and become a standard format.  
• Files may not play properly, depending on the  
iTunes version under which an AAC file is  
encoded.  
This MP3 features the original audio data  
compression to about 10 percent of its initial  
size with a high sound quality. This means that  
about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-  
R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening  
time without having to change CDs.  
Precautions when creating MP3/  
WMA/AAC disc  
Usable sampling rates and bit rates  
1. MP3: Sampling rate 8 kHz–48 kHz,  
Bit rate 8 kbps–320 kbps / VBR  
2. WMA: Bit rate 32 kbps–192 kbps  
3. AAC: Sampling rate 8 kHz–48 kHz,  
Bit rate 8 kbps–320 kbps / VBR  
What is WMA?  
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media  
Audio, an audio file format developed by  
Microsoft Corporation.

is output (The WMA indicator blinks).  
• Windows Media™, and the Windows ® logo are  
trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft  
Corporation in the United States and/or other  
countries.  
1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” (.mp3),  
.WMA” (.wma) or “.M4A” (.m4a) to MP3,  
WMA or AAC file by using single byte letters.  
If you add a file extension other than  
specified or forget to add the file extension,  
the file cannot be played.  
To disable DRM (Digital Rights  
Management)  
2. Files without MP3/WMA/AAC data will not  
play. The indication “– –:– –” appears in the

without MP3/WMA/AAC data.  
1. When using Windows Media Player 8, click  
on TOOLS OPTIONS COPY MUSIC  
tab, then under COPY SETTINGS, unclick  
the check box for PROTECT CONTENT.  
Then, reconstruct files.  
Logical format (File system)  
1. When writing MP3/WMA/AAC file on a CD-R  
disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660  
level 1, 2 or JOLIET or Romeo or APPLE  
ISO” as the writing software format. Normal  
play may not be possible if the disc is  
recorded on another format.  
2. When using Windows Media Player 9, click  
on TOOL OPTIONS MUSIC RECORD  
tab, then under Recording settings, unclick  
the Check box for RECORD PROTECTED  
MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.  
2. The folder name and file name can be  
displayed as the title during MP3/WMA/AAC  
play but the title must be within 64 single  
byte alphabetical letters and numerals  
(including an extension).  
Personally constructed WMA files are used  
at your own responsibility.  
What is AAC?  
• AAC is an acronym for “Advanced Audio  
Coding” and refers to the audio compression  
method used with video compression  
standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.  
3. Do not affix a name to a file inside a folder  
having the same name.  
Folder structure  
1. A disc with a folder having more than 8  
hierarchical levels will be impossible.  
• AAC files composed with the following  
conditions can be played:  
- AAC files encoded with iTunes.  
- iTunes Ver. 7.0 or earlier.
