Listening to MP3/WMA disc
MP3/WMA
MP3/WMA can be played back by this in-vehicle equipment. However, media and formats are limited in which MP3/WMA files that can be used are recorded. Please note the following when writing MP3/WMA files. The limited number of charac- ters given below is the number of characters when using 1- byte characters.
■ Media that can be used Media used to include MP3/WMA that can be used are CD-R and CD- RW. Media created in a simplified format cannot be played back with this in- vehicle equipment.
■ MP3 formats that can be played back MP3 formats that can be played back with this in-vehicle equipment are as shown below. Specification MPEG-1 Layer 3
MPEG-2 Layer 3
MPEG-2.5 Layer 3
Sampling frequency 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz) Bit rate 8 to 320 (kbps) Variable bit rate compliant128 Audio and Visual
■ WMA formats that can be played back WMA files that can be played back with the in-vehicle equipment are as shown below. Specifications WMA Ver. 7, 8 and 9
Sampling frequency Ver. 7: 44.1, 48 (kHz) Ver. 8 and 9: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz) Bit rate Ver. 7: 64 to 192 (kbps) Ver. 8 and 9: 48 to 192 (kbps) Variable bit rate compliant■ Disc formats that can be used Discs that can be used with this in-vehicle equipment are as shown below. The number of characters following the format name is the max- imum number of characters (a delimiter "." and 3 characters of exten- sion included) specified for the file name. • • • Joliet: 64 characters • Romeo: 128 characters And when written in a long file name format, it is possible to display up to the number of characters as shown below. 64 character (all 1-byte characters)
ISO 9660 Level 1: 12 characters ISO 9660 Level 2: 31 characters
For details of the characters that can be used, refer to the instruction manual of the writing software and "Input of file name and folder name." However, characters that can be displayed are as shown below. • Half size characters (alphanumeric, and ASCII codes) Characters other than the above are displayed with an asterisk "?." However, discs that can be played back with this in-vehicle equipment are accompanied by the following restrictions. • Maximum directory layers: 8 layers • Maximum number of files in a folder: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 254 (including the ROOT) • Maximum number of characters used in a folder name: 64 characters MP3/WMA files that are written in formats other than the above may not be played back normally, and the file name and the folder name of which may not be displayed correctly.■ Setting of the compression software and the writing
software
When compressed into an MP3/WMA file, it is recommended that the setting of the transfer bit rate of the compression software is "fixed" to "128 kbps." When recording a blank media up to the maximum capacity at once, make a setting to "Disc at Once."
Listening to MP3/WMA disc
■ Input of a file name and a folder name When inputting a file name and a folder name, input them in half size alphanumeric characters. File names and folder names that are written in characters other than the above may not be displayed correctly. And depending on a writing software or a disc format used, characters that can be displayed are restricted. For details, refer to the instruction man- ual of the writing software. And files that can be acknowledged and played back are restricted only to those attached with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA." When saving an MP3/WMA file, be sure to attach it with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA."
Forbidden
If a file other than MP3/WMA is attached with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA," it may be mistakenly acknowledged as an MP3/WMA file, thus causing the generation of loud noises to damage the speaker. So, do not attach any file other than MP3/WMA with an extension ".MP3" or ".WMA."
■ ID3/WMA Tag ID3/WMA Tag is compliant (Ver.1.0, 1.1).

■ Example of Media hierarchy
Listening to MP3/WMA disc
■ Files that are written into media When media that contains MP3/WMA files is inserted, first of all, all the files in the disc are checked. So, when a lot of folders and files other than MP3/WMA are written into the media to be played back, a lot of time is required before starting the playback of the media. And time may be required before proceeding to the playback of the next MP3/WMA file, and a file search and a folder search cannot be con- ducted smoothly.
■ Sequence in which MP3/WMA files are played back. The sequence in which files and folders are selected while in the play- back, folder search, file search and the folder selection is in the order in which they are written with the writing software. Accordingly, the sequence in which the files are expected to be played back may not conform to the sequence in which the files are actually played back. Depending on the writing software, entering "01" to "90" at the head of the file name as a playback sequence with it written in CD-R may allow you to set the sequence in which files are played back. Conducting a folder search, a file search and a folder selection in the media of the fol- lowing folder/file layer results in a media hierarchy as shown below.

WARNING
• Never try watching videos or using other entertainment pro-
grams with your Audio and Visual System by keeping the vehicle engine running in a garage or other enclosed area. Exhaust gases accumulated in such an area or entering the vehicle are dangerous, or even lethal.
• The driver must not attempt to operate or watch the DVD
while the vehicle is in motion. Doing so will distract attention from driving and the road, and could lead to an accident.
• If you wish to park your vehicle and enjoy an entertainment
program on this system, select a safe place that does not hinder traffic and has no parking ban.
NOTE • Using the Audio and Visual System with the engine stopped could lower the battery’s electricity level. If the initial charge level is too low, the engine may not start the next time. It is recommended that the system be used only when the engine is running expect when the vehicle is parked in a garage or other enclosed area.
• In the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable while in driving. The button for a touch screen that cannot be used will be displayed in tint color (toned down).
• Liquid-crystal displays may be difficult to read when wearing polarized glasses.

Satellite radio operation (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to install the Subaru genuine satellite receiver (dealer option) and to enter into a contract. For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.
■ XM™ satellite radio XM™ is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160 coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s programming. XM™ provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XM™ ser- vice. For more information, contact XM™ at www.xmradio.com or call 1- 800-XMRADIO (1-800-967-2346) for U.S., www.xmradio.ca or 1-877-GET- XMSR (1-877-438-9677) for Canada.
■ Sirius satellite radio Sirius satellite radio is a recent innovation that allows the listener to experience digital sound quality and to have a greater variety of chan- nels to choose from (more than 160 channels with the relevant sub- scription). Use of satellite radio (Sirius) requires a tuner, antenna and a service con- tract. For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer or visit Sirius Satel- lite Radio at www.sirius.com or call 1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474) for more information. Sirius, the Sirius dog logo, channel names and logos are trademarks of SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc.
■ Satellite radio reception Satellite radio signals are best received in areas with a clear view of the open sky. In areas where there are tall buildings, trees, tunnels or other structures that may obstruct the signal of the satellites, there may be signal interruptions. Other circumstances that may result in signal loss include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill or driving on the lower level of a multi-tiered road or inside of a parking garage. To help reduce this condition, satellite radio providers have installed ground-based repeaters in heavily populated areas. However, you may still experience reception problems in some areas.
