PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
Notes on compact discs
This unit has been designed only to play back the
following CDs.
• Digital audio CD
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back
finalized CD-R or CD-RW
recorded
in
music CD format
or in
MP3 or WMA format
. (If a
CD-RW has been recorded in a different format, erase
all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording
on it.)
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD
format like an audio CD.
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage
or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of
other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer
time to read.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Memory/DAP:
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time
than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and
will be skipped.
This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level
1 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (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 a bit rate of 128
kbps. Similarly each WMA file at a sampling rate of
44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 96 kbps.
– This System can recognize the total of 999 tracks
and of 499 groups. Those exceeding the maximum
number cannot be recognized.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be
different from the one you have intended while
recording. If a folder does not include MP3/WMA
tracks, they are ignored.
Handling discs
Since dirty, damaged or warped discs could damage the
unit, care should be taken of the following:
• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.
• Do not stick or write anything on the label side.
• Do not bend discs.
Storage
• After removing a disc from the unit, be sure to put it
back in its case.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity or dust.
Cleaning discs
Before loading a disc, wipe off any dust, dirt or
fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Discs should be
cleaned by wiping radially, from the center to edge.
Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic
spray.
• Removing the disc from its storage case and
replacing it
Press the center and lift out.
Press to secure the disc.
