- MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media Audio) and AAC (Advanced
Audio Coding) are audio compression standards.
- This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB memory.
- MP4, WMV and AVI files can use the following resolutions: 128x96, 160x120,
176x144 (QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA), 352x240 (SIF), 352x288 (CIF), 640x480 (VGA),
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 (PAL)
- When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
- This system plays back files with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/AAC
files respectively. To prevent noise and playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
- MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2
and Ver. 2.3 formats. This system cannot display disc title, track title and
artist name in other formats.
- WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/AAC tag that is used in the same way as
an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry information such as track title and artist name.
- The emphasis function is available only when playing MP3 files.
- This system can play back AAC files encoded by iTunes.
- The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves with higher bit
rates.
- m3u playlists are not compatible with the audio player.
- MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not compatible with the
audio player.
- The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
- When playing back files recorded as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the
play time will not be correctly displayed if the fast forward or reverse operations
are used.
- It is not possible to check folders that do not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
- MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8 levels deep can be played. However,
the start of playback may be delayed when using USB memory containing numerous
levels of folders. For this reason, we recommend creating USB memory with no
more than 2 levels of folders.

- The play order of the USB memory with the structure shown above is as
follows:

- The order changes depending on the personal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC encoding
software you use.

the radio ¾ it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM signals...
