Compact discs
Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the
symbol.
Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the
CD at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.
To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint
free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.
Cleaning agents may damage the CD.
Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand or to excessive heat. (e.g
from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).
CD-R/CD-RW discs
Your CD player can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW discs
that have been finalised* upon completion of recording. Your CD player
may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to poor recording
and wide variation in quality of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio players
such as your Sound 48.
WARNING
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
means that the laser's construction makes
it inherently safe so that the legally prescribed maximum permissible
radiation values can never be exceeded.
Caution:
Using any equipment or devices other than those described and
specified in these operating instructions, or tampering with the unit in any
way, can result in dangerous exposure to radiation.
MP3 / WMA / AAC CD Mode
The Sound 48 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 /
WMA / AAC files with a maximum of 255 files per folder. An MP3 / WMA
/ AAC CD should not contain more than a combined total of 999 files
and folders. MP3, WMA and AAC files should be created with an audio
sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for files originally created from
audio CDs). Folders may be nested but to a maximum of 8 levels. Folder
and file names should ideally be less than 30 characters in length. Tags
for title / artist / album information in the files should ideally be less than
30 characters in length. Within a folder, files or folders written earlier
will generally be played before those written later and files have higher
priority than nested folders.
There are many possible variations in the formatting of CD-R and CD-RW
discs with audio files, but regular CD burning software should generally
give good results with default settings. Should problems arise, contact
the customer services of your CD burner or software manufacturer. When
creating audio CDs, please observe all legal guidelines and ensure that
the copyright of third parties is not infringed.
