  1. DISC PLAYER OUTLINE


    1. The CD player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on CDs. By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music and audio.

      CAUTION:

      Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.

      Note:

      • Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.

      • Do not apply oil to the CD player.

      • Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.

    2. Usable discs


      1. A01CB06

        The CD player can only play audio CDs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) that have any of the following marks:

    3. Precautions for use of discs

      Note:

      • Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.

      • CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.

      • Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be played.

      • Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave your fingerprints on them.

      • Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.

      • Leaving the disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.

      • If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, CD-R labels or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.

      • Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)

      • Do not use odd-shaped CDs because these may cause player malfunctions.

      • Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.

      • Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) CDs.

      • Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) CDs, either with or without adapters.

      Tip:

      • When it is cold or it is raining, if the windows mist up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such cases, the CD sound may skip or stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.

      • The CD sound may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough road or similar uneven surfaces.

    4. Cleaning

      Note:

      Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.


      1. A01CGCK

        If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.

        Note:

        • Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.

        • Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

    3. ID3 tag and WMA tag


      1. Additional text information called an ID3 tag can be input to MP3 files. Information such as song titles and artist names can be stored.

        Tip:

        This player is compatible with the ID3 tags of ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1, and ID3 Ver. 2.2 and 2.3. (Number of characters complies with ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

      2. Additional text information called a WMA tag can be input to WMA files. Information such as song titles and artist names can be stored.

    4. Usable media


      1. Only CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be used to play MP3/WMA files.

        Note:

        • CD-Rs and CD-RWs are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs do not play.

        • If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not play or the CD sound may skip.

        • Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.

        • Keep CD-Rs and CD-RWs in an opaque case.

    5. Usable media format


      1. Usable media format

        Disc format CD-ROM Mode 1, CD-ROM XA Mode 2 Form1
        File format ISO9660 Level 1 and Level 2 (Joliet, Romeo)
        Tip:

        • As for MP3/WMA files written in any unlisted format, the contents of the files may not play normally or the file names or folder names may not display correctly.

        • This player is compatible with multi-session discs and can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs on which MP3/WMA files have been added. However, only the first session can be played.

        • Discs whose first session includes both music data and MP3 or WMA format data cannot be played.

      2. Standards and restrictions

        Maximum directory levels 8 levels
        Maximum number of characters for a folder name/file name 32 characters
        Maximum number of folders 192 (Including empty folders route folders, and folders that do not contain MP3/WMA files)
        Maximum number of files in a disc 255 (Including non-MP3/WMA files)

    6. File names


      1. Only files with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma" can be recognized and played as MP3 or WMA files.

      2. Save MP3 or WMA files with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma".

        Note:

        If non-MP3 or non-WMA files are saved with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma", those files may be wrongly recognized as MP3 or WMA files and played. A loud noise may occur and damage to the speaker may result.

  3. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OUTLINE


    1. A01CE4TE18

      AVC-LAN Outline


      1. Components of the audio and visual system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN.

      2. The AVC-LAN uses a twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.

      3. The master unit of the AVC-LAN is the radio receiver assembly.

        Tip:

        • The radio receiver assembly has the resistance (60 to 80 Ω) necessary for communication.

        • If a short or open circuit occurs in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and the system will not operate normally.

  4. DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION OUTLINE


    1. The audio system has a diagnostic function (the result is indicated on the master unit).

    2. A 3-digit hexadecimal component code (physical address) is allocated to each component on the AVC-LAN. Using this code, the component in the diagnostic function can be displayed.
