CD-R/CD-RW discs • When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized. • It may not be possible to playback CD-R/CDRW discs recorded on a music CD recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of this unit. • Playback of discs recorded on a personal computer may not be possible depending on the application settings and the environment.

(For details, contact the manufacturer of the application.) • Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become impossible in case of direct exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, or the storage conditions in the vehicle. • Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this unit (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)). • If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit, time to playback will be longer than when you insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc. • Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs before using them. MP3 files • MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard. • This unit allows playback of MP3 files on CDROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and joliet file system can be played back. • It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded discs. • MP3 files are not compatible with packet write data transfer. • The max. number of characters which can be displayed for a file name, including the extension (.mp3), is 30 characters from the first character. • The max. number of characters which can be displayed for a folder name is 30 characters. • In case of files recorded according to the Romeo and Joliet file system, only the first 30 characters can be displayed. Depending on the width of the characters, the screen may not be able to display 30 characters. • When playing discs with MP3 files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXEDMODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA. • The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing software. For this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However, there also is some writing software which permits setting of the playback order. • Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3 files and burned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD. 21 Appendix
