CD/MP3 OPERATION AND RECORDING (ENCODING TO MP3) 

 

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

CD mechanisms used in devices like this are designed to fully read all commercial CDs. They will also read 
self-compiled cd-r/cd-rw discs but it may take up to 10 seconds for playback to start. If playback does not start, it is 
likely due to the quality of the CD-R/RW disc and/or the compatibility of the cd compilation software. Manufacturer is 
not responsible for the playback quality of CD-R/RW discs. 
Do not attach a label or seal to either side of the CD-R/RW disc. It may cause a malfunction. 
 
 

FOR WINDOWS USERS: 

When using the “Burn a CD” feature to create an MP3 CD in Windows, you must select the “With a CD/DVD player” 
option when it asks “How do you want to use the disc?” The MP3 CD will not play on this unit if you select the “Like a 
USB flash drive” option or if the MP3 CD is not finalized.
