Recommended system: 5.1-channel Surround SystemThis unit has a built-in 5-channel amplifier. The procedure for setting up a 5.1-channel surround
system in order to play DVD software in a way that creates a “you are there” feel in a car is
described below.Front Speakers: CJ-DVD177Use the left and right front speakers (such as
speakers that are built into the front door).Center Speaker: EAB-CF2Install in the middle of the dashboard, near the
monitor.
Surround Speakers: CJ-SS162Use the left and right rear speakers (such as speakers
that are built into the rear door or the rear deck)Subwoofer: CJ-SW38Because the audio imaging is not nearly as dependent
on the position where the subwoofer is installed as it
is with the other speakers, the subwoofer can be
installed anywhere that is convenient. (A separate
power amplifier for the subwoofer is needed.)

CD/MP3 Player
(continued)
This player allows you to play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs
(Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable).¡It is recommended that you set the bit rate to “128 kbps or more” and “Fixed”.
¡Bit rate of 8 kbps for MPEG-2 and sampling frequency of 16 kHz for MPEG-2 can not be reproduced.
¡VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not supported.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding software and the bit rate.  For details refer to the user
manual of your encoding software.
■
Converting (encoding) audio data to an MP3 file¡Do not record files other than MP3s or unnecessary folders on a disc.If many folders or files other than MP3s
are recorded on a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.
¡Use ISO 9660 file system (Extension of the ISO 9660 file systems are included.) (apage 45). APPLE HFS file
system is not supported.  If files do not conform to ISO 9660 file system, they may not play normally, or the file or
folder names may not be displayed correctly. 
¡Make sure to add the “.mp3” extension to each MP3 file name.A file with a different file name extension or none
at all will not play.
¡Although Multi session recording is supported, the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.  Make sure to close the
session when you finished recording on a disc.
¡Discs recorded by the packet writing software are not supported.
¡A playlist function is not supported.  Record files and folders in the order in which you want them to be played.
Some writing software lets you specify the recording order by adding a prefix in the range of “01” - “99”, etc. to the
file name.  For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.
Notes: 
¡You may encounter trouble in playing MP3s or displaying the information of MP3 files recorded with certain writing
software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives).
¡If a disc contains both MP3 and CD-DA, only CD-DA data is reproduced properly. (MP3 files are played but no sound
is output).
■
Recording MP3 files on a CD-R/RW
What is MP3?MP3, short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3,  MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 LSF (Low Sampling Frequency), is a standard for compress-
ing digital video data adopted for video CDs and similar media.  It is one of the audio compression systems covered by
MPEGs (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital audio compression standards.  What it does is reduce the number of bytes
in a song without detracting from the sound quality by eliminating big sound waves within the sound range that are imper-
ceptible to the human ear.  This compression allows you to reduce the contents of a conventional music CD by a factor of
around 10.  This means that you can record the contents of 10 music CDs on a single CD-R or CD-RW.  (The figures refer
to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Points to Remember When Recording an MP3 Disc
Warning:Never assign the “.mp3” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3 format.  This may produce
noise from the speakers and cause speaker damage and can damage your hearing.
