(cid:121) You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD
player. If you insert a DualDisc into the

possibly causing the player to malfunc-

(cid:121) In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can
form inside the CD player, preventing nor-
mal operation. If this happens, eject the
CD and wait for the player to dry out.
(cid:121) Skipping may occur when the CD player
is subjected to severe vibration (for exam-
ple, when the vehicle is driven on a rough
surface).
(cid:121) To remove a disc from the case, press
the center of the case and hold both edg-
es of the disc. If the disc surface is
touched directly, contamination could
cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the
disc surface.

(cid:121) Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth, thin- ner, benzene, alcohol, etc. (cid:121) Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a non-standard shape (for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions or problems might result. (cid:121) A disc is vulnerable to heat.

MP3 audio (cid:132) What is MP3? MP3 (the name is an abbreviation of ‘MPEG Audio Layer 3’) is a compression format for digital audio. It was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group. It permits audio data to be shrunk by a factor of approximately 10 with no loss of sound quality, meaning that the audio on 10 con- ventional CDs can be fitted onto a single CD-R or CD-RW (assuming a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz). NOTE (cid:121) MP3 encoding and writing software is not supplied with the audio system. (cid:121) CD writing software is not supplied with the audio system.
(cid:132) Creating MP3 files (cid:121) To create a high-quality MP3 file, it is advisable to have a high bit rate (128 kbps or higher) and a high sampling frequency. (cid:121) If a file is created with a variable bit rate (VBR), the elapsed time during playback may not be displayed correctly and the sound may skip. (cid:121) The sound quality during playback de- pends upon the encoder and bit rate. De-
tailed information can be found in the us- er’s manuals for encoder software and writing software. (cid:121) A fixed bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommended.
(cid:132) Saving MP3 files on a disc (cid:121) Do not save any non-MP3 file on a disc. Also, do not save any unnecessary folder on a disc. (cid:121) If many folders and/or non-MP3 files are saved on a disc, a delay will be caused be- fore playback begins. (cid:121) If a disc contains both Compact Disc- Digital Audio (CD-DA) files and MP3 files, the system will play only the CD-DA files. (cid:121) Add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the name of every MP3 file. The system will not play any file that has either no extension or an extension other than ‘.MP3’. (cid:121) Do not add the extension ‘.MP3’ to the name of any non-MP3 file. Doing so could lead to speaker damage. (cid:121) The system supports multi-session re- cording, so disc-at-once recording is rec- ommended. (cid:121) The system does not support packet writing software. (cid:121) The system does not have a playlist function. (cid:121) The system may not be able to display and play certain MP3 files depending on
500034

the writing software and CD recorder. (cid:121) Recording must be performed using a file system supported by the audio sys- tem. Otherwise, the audio system may not play the MP3 files and may not display folder titles and file titles.
(cid:132) Supported file systems
The audio system supports the following
file systems:
(cid:121) ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2
(cid:121) Apple Extension to ISO 9660
(cid:121) Joliet
(cid:121) Romeo

(cid:121) UDF 1.50
(cid:121) Mix CD (CD Extra)
(cid:132) Compression format (cid:121) MPEG 1 audio layer 3 (MP3) Bit rate: 32 kbps – 320 kbps Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz (cid:121) MPEG 2 audio layer 3 (MP3) Bit rate: 8 kbps – 160 kbps Sampling frequency: 16, 22.05, 24 kHz
(cid:132) Numbers of folders and files
(cid:121) Maximum number of folders: 255 (in-
cluding root folder)
(cid:121) Maximum number of files: 999 (maxi-
mum number in one folder: 255)
(cid:121) Maximum number of layers: 8
NOTE
(cid:121) Not all of the discs stored in MP3
files may be able to be played back.
(cid:121) Even if a folder contains no MP3
files, it is counted as a folder.
(cid:121) Writing software can rearrange fold-
ers and files such that the playback or-
der is different from the desired one.
(cid:121) The playback order for a given disc
can be different with different players.
(cid:132) Copyright issues Except with respect to copies made for personal use, duplication, distribution, and transmission of music and other copy- righted material on a disc without permis- sion from the copyright holder is illegal.

Outlet in cargo area
Accessory power outlets are provided be- side the front ashtray, in the center con- sole and in the cargo area. Electrical pow- er (12V DC) from the battery is available at any of the outlets when the ignition switch is in either the “ACC” or “ON” position. You can use an in-car electrical appliance by connecting it to an outlet. The maximum power rating of an appli- ance that can be connected varies among outlets as shown in the following. Do not use an appliance which exceeds the indi- cated wattage for each outlet. Outlet beside front ashtray: 80W or less Outlets in center console and cargo area: 120W or less When using appliances connected to two
or more outlets simultaneously, the total power consumed by them must not ex- ceed 120W.
(cid:121) Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlet.
(cid:121) Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power outlet. That could cause a short circuit. Al- ways put the cap on the accesso- ry power outlet when it is not in use.
(cid:121) Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC. The maximum power rating of an appliance that can be connected varies among outlets as shown in the following. Do not use an appli- ance which exceeds the indicated wattage for each outlet. Outlet beside front ashtray: 80W or less Outlets in center console and car- go area: 120W or less
When using appliances connect- ed to two or more outlets simulta- neously, the total power con- sumed by them must not exceed 120W. Overloading the accessory power outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapt- ers or more than one electrical ap- pliance.
(cid:121) If the plug on your electric appli- ance is either too loose or too tight for the accessory power out- let, this can result in a poor con- tact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly.
(cid:121) Use of an electric appliance in the accessory power outlet for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery dis- charge.
(cid:121) Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appliance will not interfere with your shifting gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.

Before hanging clothing on the coat hooks, make sure there are no pointed objects in the pockets. Hang clothing directly on the coat hooks without using hangers.
Never hang anything on the coat hook that might obstruct the driv- er’s view or that could cause injury in sudden stops or in a collision. And do not hang items on the coat hook that weigh 11 lbs (5 kg) or more.
