MP3/WMA OPERATION  
Instructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for DVD and MP3  
operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video Operation section for information  
about these topics.  
Media and File Requirements  
This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files recorded onto CD-R/  
RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs. For CD-RW discs, please make sure it  
is formatted using the full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal  
disc operation.  
Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a disc for a DVD music mix. Do not  
exceed this number of songs/files or disc readability problems may occur.  
MP3 Format Compatibility  
The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this unit:  
ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3 characters  
ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3 characters  
Joliet – 64 characters  
If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file system standards, it  
may not be displayed or played back correctly. Use the following settings when  
compressing audio data for your MP3 disc:  
Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps  
Sampling Frequency: 48kHz  
When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional  
writing. For recording on an empty disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the  
"Disc at once" setting.  
MP3 Playing Order  
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder  
Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer. As a  
result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the  
order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in  
which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as  
a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as  
"01" to "99".  
30  
VM9224BT  
For example, a medium with the  
following folder/file hierarchy is  
subject to Folder Search, File  
Search or Folder Select, as shown  
below.  
The VM9224BT player will only  
recognize three folder levels and  
does not display folders containing  
only other folders. In the example  
above, the unit will display folders  
3, 4, 6, and 8, but not 2 and 7 since  
they do not contain any tracks  
directly. Folder 5 is not recognized  
at all since it is at the fourth level.  
Inserting a USB Device or SD Card  
NOTE: The USB port will recognize most USB flash memory devices and  
portable hard drives (hard drives must be formatted to FAT32 and NTFS  
is not supported).  
1. Locate the USB/SD connector cover (8) on the front of the radio.  
MUTE  
OPEN  
VM9224BT  
2. Lift the protective cover to reveal the connectors.  
3. Insert the USB device or SD card into the appropriate connector. The unit

SOURCE MENU to switch to another mode, and then remove the device from  
the connector.

BLUETOOTH OPERATION  
About Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that is  
developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, handheld PCs and other  
devices. Bluetooth operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice  
and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a  
special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia  
Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000  
companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the  
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Audiovox Corporation is  
under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective  
owners.  
NOTE: The line-of-sight distance between this unit and your cellular  
phone must be 8 meters or less for sending and receiving voice and data  
via Bluetooth wireless technology. However, the transmission distance  
may become shorter than the estimated distance, depending on the  
environment in use.  
Please make sure your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions (Headset  
or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere to the following guidelines for  
successful operation.  
Before using Bluetooth functions, you must pair your mobile phone to the  
VM9224BT head unit (see “Pairing the Bluetooth System with Your Mobile  
Phone and Head Unit”). To ensure the best reception for pairing and re-  
connection, please make sure the phone battery is fully charged before  
you begin.  
Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone being turned on.  
Once the unit has been paired with the phone, the unit’s model number,  
“VM9224BT”, will be displayed on the mobile phone.  
To achieve the best performance, always keep the mobile phone within 3  
meters of the head unit.  
Always keep a clear path between the mobile phone and the head unit.  
Never place a metal object or any other obstacle between the mobile  
phone and the head unit.  
Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson) may have a "Power Saving  
Mode" option. PLEASE DO NOT use the power saving mode with the  
VM9224BT.  
Before accepting or making a call, make sure your mobile phone's  
“Bluetooth function” is turned on.  
To ensure the best conversation quality/performance, stay within one  
meter of the microphone when talking.  
38  
VM9224BT  
To disconnect” the mobile phone from the head unit, turn the Bluetooth  
connectivity off on the mobile phone or touch the button.  
Phone Book direct searching through the head unit is only available  
if the mobile phone supports Phone Book Download. If the feature is  
not supported, the head unit will display “Phone book not provided by this  
phone” when an attempt is made to download a phone book.

Hands Free Profile (HFP)  
To use a phone wirelessly with this unit, it is necessary to first establish a  
connection using Bluetooth wireless technology. Connection is normally  
established using HFP (Hands Free Profile), which gives you full control of  
functions available on the telephone source. However, depending on your  
phone, the connection may be made using HSP (Head Set Profile), making  
some functions unavailable. This is a limitation of your phone, not the  
VM9224BT.  
Since there are a number of Bluetooth mobile phone implementations  
available on the market, operations with your Bluetooth mobile phone using  
this unit vary greatly.  
Please refer to the instruction manual that came with your Bluetooth mobile  
phone along with this manual while operating your phone with this unit.  
Pairing the Bluetooth System with Your Mobile  
Phone and Head Unit  
1. Touch the  
button (7) to initiate the pairing process. Keep the mobile  
phone within 2 meters of the head unit when pairing. (To terminate the  
pairing process, touch the  
button again.)

VM9224BT  
2. Select the Bluetooth setup option on the mobile phone to be paired  
(please refer to the phone’s instruction manual to learn how to enter  
Bluetooth setup, turn Bluetooth on/off, and perform pairing).  
NOTE: Some phones require a “pass key” or pairing code to connect. If  
your phone requires a pass key or pairing code, you will need to enter  
this number in the Pairing Code field under the Bluetooth SETUP menu.  
The default pairing code for many phones is “0000”. The default code for  
the VM9224BT is “1234”. See “Bluetooth Sub-menu Features” on  
page 14 for instructions on entering the pairing code.  
3. Select “VM9224BT” from the pairing list on the mobile phone.  
If pairing is successful, the TFT will display the paired mobile phone  
model number or name (as specified in your phone’s Bluetooth Setup  
menu).  
If pairing fails, “Phone Pairing Fail” is displayed at the bottom of the  
screen.  
Reconnecting  
Once the Bluetooth device has been paired, you can touch the connect  
button (9) to reconnect.  
NOTE: You can only connect to a phone using the buttons on the on-  
screen Phone interface.  
Each time the button is touched, the head unit will automatically reconnect  
with the mobile phone once (only if the mobile phone was previously paired  
with the head unit).  
Managing Incoming Calls  
When connected to a Bluetooth phone, the unit will mute audio output, pause  
CD play, and change to the Bluetooth screen when a call is received. An  
incoming phone number will appear at the top of the screen.  
Answering an Incoming Call  
To answer the call, touch the  
button (11).  
For best reception, speak loudly and clearly.  
To end the conversation, touch the  
button (12). The screen will display the  
call duration for 3 seconds, and then return to the previous mode.  
Rejecting an Incoming Call  
Touch the button to reject an incoming call. The call will revert to your phone  
and can be answered directly or left for voice mail.

Care and Maintenance  
1. Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to clean the front  
panel or monitor. A rough cloth and non-neutral detergent (such as alco-  
hol) may result in scratching or discoloration.  
2. Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.  
3. If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit  
automatically stops play of the disc. If this occurs, allow the unit to cool  
before operating the player again.  
4. Never insert anything other than a 5” (12 cm) compact disc into the player  
as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.  
5. Do not attempt to use a 3” (8 cm) CD-Single disc in this unit, either with or  
without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such  
damage is not covered by the Warranty on this product.  
6. The CD player may not operate properly in extreme hot or cold. If such  
conditions occur, allow the interior of the vehicle to reach a normal  
temperature before using player.  
7. When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp  
conditions, condensation may appear on the LCD panel. Should this  
occur, the screen will not operate properly until the moisture has  
evaporated.  
8. We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more frequently than in the  
unit in your home due to the environmental conditions of the vehicle.
