About CD players/disc changers
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.
• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the
unit.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.
Also avoid places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided. If you use the wrong
screws, you could damage the unit.

Notes on playing MP3 (DPX-MP4050B/ DPX-MP4050/ DPX-MP4030)
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,
however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable
are limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
Entering ID3 tag
The Displayable ID3 tag is ID3 version
1.x.
For the character code, refer to the
List of Codes.
Acceptable media
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,
and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent
malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The
maximum number of characters used for file name including the
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in
parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1 (12 characters)
• ISO 9660 Level 2 (31 characters)
• Joliet (64 characters)
• Romeo (128 characters)
Up to 200 characters can be displayed in the long file name format.
For a list of available characters, see the instruction manual of the
writing software and the section Entering file and folder names below.
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of characters for folder name: 64
• Maximum number of folders: 50
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not
properly displayed.
Entering file and folder names
The code list characters are the only file names and folder names that
can be entered and displayed.
If you use any other character for entry, the file and folder names are
not displayed correctly. They may neither be displayed correctly
depending on the CD writer used.
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3
extension (MP3).
A file with a name entered with characters not on the code list may not
play correctly.
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or non-
MP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing
MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file
or a File Search or Folder Search may not be performed smoothly.
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
Do the following setting when compressing audio data in MP3 data
with the MP3 encoder.
• Transfer bit rate : 8 — 320 kbps
• Sampling frequency : 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the
MP3 extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have
the MP3 extension.
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc
capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up
to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the
ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off
with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power
source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the

share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the system,
connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals
or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker
to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a
rear output terminal
