smoke production, immediately unplug the car bat- tery adapter from the cigar lighter socket. | do not leave the products or batteries in the car, particularly above the dashboard, for this may lead to malfunction or damage due to solar heat. | if the unit is connected to a car stereo using an audio cord, noise may sometimes interfere. caution: read this page carefully to ensure safe operation. *for other countries ac voltage selection this unit operates on 110-120 or 220-240 ac voltage. the ac voltage selector switch on the ac adapter is set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. before connecting the power cord to your ac outlet, make sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage. if not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance to the following direction. note: our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the ac voltage selector switch. ac voltage selector switch move switch lever to match your line voltage with a small screwdriver or other pointed tool. the marking is located on the bottom side says that this product has been classified as class 1. it means that there is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the product. the marking of products using lasers (except for some areas). class 1 laser product media that can be played back with this equipment usable media apart from audio cds (cd-da) usable media : cd-rom, cd-r, cd-rw usable formats : iso9660 level 1 and level 2 (excluding expanded formats) files that can be played back: mp3 and wma files creating media for playing back on this equipment compressing mp3 and wma files please set up the transfer bit rate setting for the compression software when com- pressing mp3 and wma files as follows: mp3 files : 128kbps recommended (32kbps-320kbps) wma files : 128kbps recommended (64kbps-160kbps) | this unit is compatible with 32khz, 44.1khz (recommended) and 48khz samplimg frequencies. categorizing folders as mp3 and wma files are compressed into high-quality sound files at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible to record several times more tracks than audio cds onto a single medium. it is therefore convenient to split the tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for retrieval and repeat playback purposes. | a maximum of 23 folders or a maximum of 200 files can be stored on a single media. | there are cases where it is not possible to save folders in the desired sequence depending on the software being used. naming files single-byte characters between a and z, single-byte numerals between 0 and 9, and the single-byte underscore (_) can be used when naming files. a maximum of twelve characters can be displayed. ensure that the ".mp3" (mp3 files) or ".wma" (wma files) extension logs are attached to all file names. | never add the mp3 or wma extension logs to any files other than mp3 and wma files. if the mp3 or wma extension logs are added to any files other than mp3 and wma files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the headphones, resulting in damage of adverse effects. hint for when naming folders and files when media containing mp3 and wma files are played back on this equipment, the sequence in which each track is played back will be the same as the sequence in which they were saved. it is possible to set up the playback sequence by adding numbers from between 01 and 99 to the front of the folder and the file name when saving the file. | there are cases where it is not possible to save files in the desired sequence de- pending on the software being used. additional information depending on the mp3 and wma compression software in use, it is possible to save track titles, artist names and other information together with each sound file as addi- tional information. although it is possible to display pre-recorded title and artist information with this infor- mation, it is necessary to ensure that this information has been entered in single-byte alphanumericals (up to a maximum of 30 alphanumericals for each.). | the method of entering title and artist information will differ in accordance with the compression software. refer to the compression software's instruction manual or help file. confirming media and files check to ascertain that mp3 and wma files can be played back correctly on the per- sonal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally. | it is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the media. when saving files onto media ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. there are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment. | there are cases were the folder names and file names will not be displayed cor- rectly depending on the software used to save them. | do not store files or folders other than mp3 and wma on media to be played back with this equipment. | it is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording mp3 and wma files onto a medium. | there are cases where playback is not possible when mp3 and wma files (cd- rom) and music cd information (cd-da) are saved on the same media. specifications standards signal reading format non-contact signal reading (semi-conductor laser) characteristics frequency characteristics
