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 play back CD-R/CD- RW discs recorded on a music CD recorder or a personal computer because of disc charac- teristics, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, scratches or condensation on the lens of this product.

???Playback of discs recorded on a personal com- puter may not be possible, depending on the application settings and the environment. Please record with the correct format. (For details, contact the manufacturer of the appli- cation.)

???Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become impossible with direct exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, or depending on the stor- age conditions in the vehicle.

???Titles and other text information recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this product (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)).

???If you insert a CD-RW disc into this product, time to play back 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

???When naming an MP3 file, add the corre- sponding filename extension (.mp3).

???This navigation system plays back files with the filename extension (.mp3) as MP3 files. To pre- vent noise and malfunctions, do not use this extension for files other than MP3 files.

???MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and refers to an audio compression technology standard.

???This product allows playback of MP3 files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc record- ings can be played back if they are compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system.

???It is possible to play back multi-session com- patible recorded discs.

???MP3 files are not compatible with packet write data transfer.

???The maximum number of characters are 32 characters including extension (.mp3). But the navigation system incorporates the propor- tional font. Therefore, the number of the char- acters which you can display varies according to the width of each character.

???When playing discs with MP3 files and audio data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED- MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA.

???The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations is 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 are some writ- ing software that permit the setting of the play- back 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.

???Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track artist).

???The emphasis function is valid only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.)

???There is no m3u playlist compatibility.

???There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or MP3 PRO formats.

???The sound quality of MP3 files generally becomes better with an increased bit rate. This product can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recom- mend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

About folders and MP3 files

???An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3 files on it is shown below. Subfolders are shown as folders in the folder currently selected.

???The following figure is an example of the tier structure in the CD. The numbers in the figure indicate the order in which folder numbers are assigned and the order to be played back.

Indicates the order in which folder numbers are assigned.

Indicates each file. The number is assigned in the order of the track to be played back.

Notes:

???This product assigns folder numbers. The user can not assign folder numbers.

???If you are using a folder that does not contain an MP3 file, the folder itself will display but you will not be able to see any files in the folder.

???MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played back. However, there is a delay in the start of playback on discs with numerous tiers. For this reason we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 tiers.

???It is possible to play back up to 253 folders on one disc.

Ambient conditions for playing disc

???At extremely high temperatures, a temperature cutoff protects this product by switching it off automatically.

???Despite our careful design of the navigation system, as a result of mechanical wear, ambi- ent conditions for use, or handling of the disc, small scratches that do not affect actual opera- tion may appear on the disc surface. This is not a sign of the malfunction of this navigation sys- tem. Consider it to be normal wear and tear.

Using the LCD panel Correctly

Handling the LCD panel

???Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the LCD panel and the main body and cause serious injury.

???When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun- light for a long period of time, it will become very hot, resulting in possible damage to the LCD screen. When not using this navigation system, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible.

???The LCD panel should be used within the tem- perature ranges shown below.

???Operating temperature range: +14 ??F to +122 ??F

???Storage temperature range: ???4 ??F to +176 ??F

???Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range because the LCD panel may not operate normally and the LCD panel can be damaged.

???The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not press strongly on it as this may damage it.

???Do not place anything on the LCD panel when it is deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry out angle adjustment, or open/close the LCD panel by hand. Applying strong force to the LCD panel may damage it.

Appendix

Appendix

???Do not push the LCD screen with much force as this may scratch it.

???Never touch the LCD screen with anything besides your finger when operating the Touch Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch easily. (The stylus is supplied for special cali- brations. Do not use the stylus for normal oper- ation.)

???Be careful not to place anything between the LCD panel and the main body when the LCD panel is closing. If an object gets between the LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may stop working.

About liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

???If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air con- ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it.

Heat from the heater may break the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the this product, result- ing in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel is cooled down by the air conditioner, the LCD screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the LCD panel may be shortened.

???Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the navigation sys- tem.

???At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while after the power is turned on.

???The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

???When using a portable phone, keep the antenna of the portable phone away from the navigation system to prevent disruption of the video with disturbances such as spots or colored stripes.

Keeping the LCD screen in good condition

???When removing dust from the LCD screen or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system power off, then wipe with the soft dry cloth.

???When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra- sive chemical cleaners.

About small fluorescent tube

???A small fluorescent tube is used inside the dis- play to illuminate the LCD screen.

???The fluorescent tube should last for approx- imately 10 000 hours, depending on operat- ing conditions. (Using the navigation system at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

???When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the LCD screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Sta- tion.
