Important CD and mp3/wma

information

This unit is compatible with CD-RW/
CD-R discs for playback.

CD-R / RW 

Notes on CD-R/RW Disc:
•  Do not affix any type of labels
to either side (recordable or

labeled side) of a CD-R/ RW disc as this
may result in malfunction.

To avoid damages to the CD-R/RW
disc, do not open the disc
compartment door while the disc is
being read.

Do not load an unrecorded CD-R/RW
disc into the unit. It may take a longer
time to read the disc.

may vary due to variations in the
quality of the CD-RW disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.

Notes on mp3/wma Disc:

Use .mp3 as the extension

when converting audio files
into mp3 for saving onto CD-R/

RW, e.g. Abc08.mp3. Do not use any
other extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.

Do not use the .mp3 extension for
other text or non-audio data files as
this may result in serious malfunction
and harmful noise interference.

For better quality in mp3/wma disc
playback, the CD quality should be
recorded 128kbps or above.

Disc data size > 650MB is not
recommended.

Total files and folders in the disc
should not exceed 512, it also
depends on the length of the file/
