Using the CD Player
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• Audio CD
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)*
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri-
table) can be played back when they are already “finalized.”
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them,
or if the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-
ance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
*For MP3 discs
• This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as “tracks”
and “albums.”
• Playback order of the MP3 files (tracks) recorded on a disc are
determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore,
playback order may be different from the one you have
intended while recording the files and the folders.
• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only
“Title”, “Artist” and “Album”) on the display after starts play;
however, there is a limitation on available characters and some
file names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.
More about MP3 discs
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer read-
out time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording
configuration.)
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 as the disc format.
• This unit does not support multisession recording.
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file ex-
tensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• Non-MP3 files are ignored. If non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to
scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.
Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recom-
mended.
