Disc Information
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, CD-RW and VIDEO CD (VCD).
You can play back the discs containing the tracks in audio CD
format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Joliet format.
• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3
disc,” “folder” is referred to as “group” and “file” is
referred to as “track.”
• This unit cannot play CD-I (CD-I ready), CD-ROM and
Photo CD.
When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already
“
finalized
.”
• This unit cannot play “multi-session” discs.
• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
About color system
• This unit accommodates both NTSC and PAL system
and can playback discs recorded with either system.
To change the color system, see page 8.
Notes for MP3 files
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as
the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper
and lower case.
• This unit recognizes up to 256 folders (including the root
folder) and 640 files on a disc.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1
kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because
of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than regular discs
because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
• This unit supports ID3 Tag ver. 1/1.1.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the unit’s disc cover closed when not in use.
• Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
