Daily Operations—Playback 

 

(see pages 8 to 12)

 

Listening to the Radio:

 

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the 

previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure 

occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this 
happens, preset the stations again.

 

Playing Back a Disc:

 

• When using an 8 cm (3-

 

3

 

/

 

16

 

 inch) disc, place it on the inner 

circle of the disc tray.

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...

– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular 

CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file 
configuration.)

– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be skipped. 

This result from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 

for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3 files with the extension 

code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

– Some characters or symbols will not be shown correctly on 

the display.
The maximum character number shown on the display is 32 
(without the extension code) for files, and 30 for ID3 tag.

– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a 

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.

– This System can recognize the total of 500 tracks and of 200 

groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be 
recognized.

– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from the one 

you have intended while recording. If a folder does not 
include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.

 

When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc 
trays, they are played in sequence as follows:

 

Ex.: When CD 2 is selected:

CD 2 -> CD 3 -> CD 4 -> CD 5 -> CD 1 (then selects 
CD 2, and stops)

* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is 

skipped.
You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another 
disc.

 

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments 

 

(see pages 13 and 14)

 

Adjusting the Volume:

 

• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting 

the headphones.

 

Adjusting the Sound:

 

• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

 

Setting the Clock:

 

•  “AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this 

happens, reset the clock.

 

Turning the Power Automatically:

 

• Auto Standby cannot be canceled by the following operations.

– Changing the display brightness.
– Adjusting the volume.
– Adjusting the sound.

 

Advanced Disc Operations 

 

(see pages 15 to 17)

 

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

 

• If you try to program a 33rd track, “FULL” appears on the 

display.

• While programming steps...

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item 
number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting 
track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

 

Timer Operations 

 

(see pages 18 and 19)

 

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure 

occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock 
first, then the timer again.

• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the 

selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
