MP3/WMA
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.
This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.
Notes: · If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Man-
agement) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output. · Windows MediaTM, and the Windows ® logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

The sources of the MAIN zone are played back from the speakers of the vehicle side, and those of the SUB zone are from the headphone systems (WH104/WH204).
Notes: · Except AUX, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot si-
multaneously use sources inside this unit. Also, external equipment connected via CeNET cannot simultaneously be used. · The TV mode while the 2-ZONE function is tuned on is forced to change to “VTR playback.” · The ISR function cannot be operated when the 2ZONE function is turned on. · The Audio mode and Z-enhancer function cannot be set for the sources of the SUB zone. · If any of following external equipment is connected, this function is disenabled.
