PLAYABLE DISCS TYPE DVD Video* Super Video CD/ Video CD CD MP3** DISC LOGO CONTENTS Audio + Video (motion pictures) Audio + Video (motion pictures) Audio Audio DISC SIZE 12cm 8cm 12cm 8cm 12cm 8cm 12cm PLAY TIME (appox.) 2h (for single-sided DVD), 4h (for double-sided DVD) 80min (for single-sided DVD), 160min (for double-sided DVD) SVCD (45 mins), VCD (74 mins) VCD (20 mins) 74 mins 20 mins 10+ hours (128kbits per second or higher compression recommended) * Region codes for DVD disc is printed on the rear panel, only the disc with same code can be played. **This product reads MP3 formatted CD-Rs (CD-Recordable). CD-RW (CD-rewritable) media does not work in the player. WHAT IS MP3? It is the compression technology developed by MPEG (the Moving Picture Experts Group) in 1988. MPEG had developed a compression system for digital television video data and their accompanying soundtracks. The part of the MPEG format is MPEG audio Layer-3, abbreviated as MP3. It is a special compression technology to fit in smaller spaces for example, DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts and DSS satellite systems. A typical MP3 files is about 1/11 the size of an equivalent CD-audio file. Therefore, about 13 hours of CD-quality songs can be stored in MP3 format. A CD stores songs as digital information. The data on a CD uses a high-resolution, uncompressed format. Music's analog waveform on digital media (CDs and CD-Rs) is sampled 44,100 times per second (44.1KHz). The samples are 2 bytes (16 bits) long, and there are 2 separate channels for left and right speakers for stereo sound. Thus, CD stores 1,411,200 bits per second. (44,100 samples/second x 16 bits/sample x 2 channels) 1.4 million bit per second is 176,400 bytes per second. If an average music is 3 minutes long, music consumes about 32Mbytes of space on CD. An audio CD has a capacity of 654.7 MB, and can store up to 74 minutes of music. The most common bit rate for MP3 is 128,000 bits per second (128K), which produces very close to CD-quality sound, 1,411,200 bits per second. Now, you see a tremendous space reduction to 9 percent. The more bit rate is the better sound quality, but more space to store. NOTE on MP3: For high quality sound, we recommend converting MP3 files with sampling frequency of 44.1KHz and a fixed bit rate of 128kpbs. Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you record them to the disc. ­4­ INSTALLATION WARNINGS! Before disassembling your beautiful new car you need some basic installation knowledge and skill with common hand and power tools. Following such basic installation tips and warnings will prevent possible damage to the vehicle and also prevent possible fires. s s s s s s s s s s AGAIN...READ THE MANUAL! There is a lot of helpful information in this manual that will save time and prevent problems later. COVER THE VEHICLE WORK AREAS - Use fender covers or blankets to protect the work areas from scratches or dings. DISCONNECT THE (-) LEAD ON THE BATTERY - No sparks or fires please! "REVIEW" THE INSTALLATION - Before using any tools or moving vehicle components, take five minutes to review the installation intentions. "REVIEW" THE VEHICLE - Before drilling any holes or cutting into any surfaces, make sure there are no fuel or hydraulic lines behind the surfaces. Also make sure there are no wires routed directly behind or near the desired mounting. ENSURE PROPER FIT - Before cutting or drilling, make sure the DVD/MP3 player will physically fit in its desired location. Check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars or other structural elements. EVERY CAR IS ASSEMBLED DIFFERENT - Every auto manufacturer uses different assembly techniques. Take care in removing/modifying all trim panels and mounting surfaces since they often use unique screws or snap fasteners that are difficult to replace if they are lost or broken. BE CAREFUL WITH CABLE ROUTING - When routing audio cables, make sure RCA and speaker wires are routed away from high current power lines for audio amplifiers and vehicle systems lines when possible. This will help prevent noises from creeping into the audio system, plus prevent potential damage to the vehicle wiring itself. BE CAREFUL WITH ALL CONNECTIONS - When making connections, make sure each connection is clean and properly secured. Observe all polarity markings carefully to ensure proper end performance. CAUTION - FUEL TANKS AND FUEL LINES ARE NOW LOCATED DIRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR DECK IN MANY CARS - CHECK FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING SUCH A MOUNTING LOCATION! INSTALLATION TOOLS For most installations, simple hand tools are adequate to install an aftermarket products. Depending upon the mounting locations used, you will need power tools for drilling and cutting plastics and metal. A good starting list is summarized below: s s s s s s s s s Tape measure and ruler Marking pen and starting punch Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers (small and medium sizes) Nylon wire bundle ties Pliers: standard vice-grip and needle nose styles Light-duty trim pry-bar for removing door trim Cutting shears or nibbling tool for cutting thin and medium gauger metal Wire cutters, wire strippers, electrical tape, crimping pliers and appropriate crimp-on terminals Power drill with appropriate sized drill bits TERMS s s s s s FOR DISCS TITLE: The longest sections of a picture or music segment on a DVD.
