ENGLISH
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA)
and MP3/WMA format; MP3/WMA files
recorded in an SD card or a USB memory.
• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been
assigned to the audio CD (see page 23), it will
be shown on the display.
• While fast-forwarding or reversing an MP3/
WMA track, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the
control panel moves down, and the disc
automatically ejects from the loading slot.
• If you keep the control panel open for about
1 minute, (beeps sound when the “Beep”
setting is turned “On”—see page 21) the
control panel returns to its previous position.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only files of the same
type which are first detected if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/
WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, or for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written
with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal
stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed
by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidities may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA discs
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files
with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums,
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can display only one-byte
characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed.
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files
compliant to ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2,
Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name.
• The maximum number of characters for file/
folder names vary among the disc format used
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or
<.wma>).
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo
*
: up to 128 (72) characters
– Joliet
*
: up to 64 (36) characters
– Windows long file name
*
: up to 128 (72)
characters
*
The parenthetic figure is the maximum
number of characters for file/folder names in
case the total number of files and folders is
313 or more.
• This unit can play back the files recorded in
VBR (variable bit rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this
difference becomes noticeable.
