Notes
• Before playing a track, this unit reads all track and
album information on the disc. Depending on the
track structure, it may take more than a minute
before playback begins. During this time, “READ” is
displayed. Play will automatically start when reading
is complete.
• Depending on the condition of the disc, it may not
play back (page 7, 8).
• While the first/last track on the disc is playing, if
(SEEK)
(–) or
(SEEK)
(+) is pressed, playback skips
to the last/first track of the disc.
• When the last track on the disc is over, playback
restarts from the first track of the disc.
• If you play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as 320 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.

display, and the display becomes the clock display
(CD playback stops).
– in the case of an optional MP3 compatible CD unit,
“NO MUSIC” appears in the display and playback of
the next disc starts.
– in the case of an optional CD unit, which is
incompatible with MP3, the disc will play back with
no sound.
Note
With an optional unit connected, playback of the same
source will continue on to the optional CD/MD unit.
