Volume level setting of traffic announcements
If the station received is not a TP station, the unit automati-
cally searches for a TP station to tune in to it. When the TP
station received begins a traffic announcement, you can
hear it from the unit.
To listen to only traffic announcements
While listening to an FM station which is not currently
broadcasting traffic announcement, press [VOL{] to set
the volume to 0. The traffic announcement will be output at
the TA volume level.

preset memory at the TA mode.
If you search for non-TP stations by seek tuning and auto
preset memory, set TA to OFF.
Other than the radio mode
When TA is set to ON, even if the unit is in other than the
radio mode (CD, CD changer and AUX), the traffic informa-
tion will be automatically announced. The unit will return to
the previous mode after the traffic announcement has fin-
ished.
Even when the unit is in other than the radio mode (CD,
CD changer and AUX), you can switch TA on and off by
pressing the TA (AF) area.

Radio - RDS (Radio Data System) (continued)
Enhanced Other Network (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations, including
the one that is currently tuned in to. For example, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be able to receive the
same station at an alternative frequency, or any other station serving the same program. EON also keeps track of locally
available TP stations for quick reception.
Emergency Announcement Reception
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit is automatically switched to receiving the announcement (even in
the CD, CD changer and AUX modes). During receiving the emergency announcement, "ALARM" blinks on the display.
Note: Emergency announcements are broadcast at the TA volume level.

Notes on CD/CD Media (CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM)
Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to
their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside
a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.
¡Some CD-R/RWs can not be played back successfully thanks to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA, MP3 or WMA data (Video CD, etc.).
(a page 26)
¡Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
How to hold the disc
¡Do not touch the underside of the disc.
¡Do not scratch on the disc.
¡Do not bend disc.
¡When not in use, keep disc in the case.
Do not use irregularly shaped discs.
Do not leave discs in the following places:
¡Direct sunlight
¡Near car heaters
¡Dirty, dusty and damp areas
¡Seats and dashboards
Disc cleaning
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center outward.
Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.
Do not write on the disc label in a heavy pen or
ballpoint pen.
Label side
<Right> <Wrong>
Do not use irregularly shaped discs.
If you use commercial CDs, they must have either of these
labels shown at right.

Notes on MP3/WMA
What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) and WMA (Windows Media
TM
Audio) are the compression formats of digital audio. The former
is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these
compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media (This figures refer to data
recorded on a 650MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz).
Notes:
¡MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not supplied with this unit.
¡CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.
Points to remember when making MP3/WMA files
Common
¡High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recom-
mended for high quality sounds.
¡Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended
because playing time is not displayed properly and sound
may be skipped.
¡The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding circumstances. For details, refer to the user
manual of your own encoding software and writing soft-
ware.
MP3
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
WMA
¡It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps or
more” and “fixed”.
¡Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA file to
enable this unit to play back.
Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-media
¡You are recommended to minimize the chances of mak-
ing a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA
files.
¡When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same
disc, use different folders for each data.
¡Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and unnec-
essary folder on a disc.
¡The name of MP3/WMA file should be added by rules as
shown in the following descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each file system.
¡You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or
displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded
with certain writing software or CD recorders.
¡The file extension "mp3" or "wma" should be assigned to
each file depending on the file format.
¡This unit does not have the play list function.
¡Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.
