•  Sound distortion may occur when playing back audio 

sources with high recording levels. When distortion occurs, 
it is recommended to turn off the equalizer of the iPod. For 
information on operating the iPod, see the iPod instruction 
manual.

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs 
and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

•  Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge 

while pressing the center hole lightly.

•  Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
•  Put the disc back in its case after use.
•  Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when 

placing it back in its case.

•  Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, 

and moisture.

To clean the disc:

•  Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center 

to edge.

Cleaning the System

•  Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is 

heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted 
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a 
dry cloth.

•  Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become 

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the 
following:

  – DO NOT wipe it hard.
  – DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
  – DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides 

to it.

  – DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact 

for a long time.

You can select one of three levels as follows:

As the number increases, the sound becomes 
louder.

Basic and Common Operations

 (see page 3)

•  Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the System 

and starts playing back if the source is ready or connected.

•  To cancel the display demonstration momentarily, press 

and hold DEMO while the System is turned on, until “DEMO 
OFF” appears. Disconnecting and reconnecting the power 
plug will start the display demonstration again.

Playing Back a Disc

 (see page 4)

•  This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
•  For MP3/WMA playback...
  – In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used 

for MP3/WMA operations.

  – This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
  – 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 or 

Level 2 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).

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

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This 
System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 
64 kbps.

  – 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.

•  This System can recognize up to 255 groups in a disc. The 

total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that can be 
recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/WMA).
