Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 8 to 11)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the
previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this
happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc
tray.
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file
configuration.)
– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be skipped.
This result from their recording processes and conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3 files with the extension code
<.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 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.
– This System can recognize the total of 255 tracks and of 64
groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be
recognized.
– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from the one
you have intended while recording (see page 10). If a folder
does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
Playing Back a Tape:
• It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These
tapes easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may
cause characteristic deterioration.
Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments
(see pages 12 to 13)
Adjusting the Volume:
• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting
the headphones.
Adjusting the Sound:
• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.
• This function does not affect recording.
Setting the Clock:
• “AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.
Advanced Disc Operations
(see pages 14 to 16)
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:
• You cannot specify a group number of an MP3 disc for
Program Play.
• If you try to program a 51st track, “FULL” appears on the
display.
• While programming steps...
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item
number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting
track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).
Advanced Tape Operations
(see pages 17 to 18)
Recording on a Tape:
• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you
can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without
affecting the recording level.
• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start
and end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording CDs or radio
broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the
recording will be made without any music part lost.
• If you start recording with no cassette inserted, “NO TAPE”
appears on the display. If a protected tape has been inserted,
“NO REC” appears.
• When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in the
forward (
3
) direction first; otherwise, recording will stop
when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.
• You can also change Reverse Mode setting (
and
)
after starting recording.
• You cannot open or close the disc tray while recording.
Synchronized Disc Recording:
• When the tape reaches its end in the forward direction (
3
)
during recording with Reverse Mode set to
, the last tune
will be re-recorded at the beginning of the reverse side.
• You cannot open the cassette holder during Synchronized
Disc Recording.
Timer Operations
(see pages 19 to 21)
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock
first, then the timer again.
• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source
after Recording Timer start recording.
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the
selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Recording Timer starts
recording, Recording Timer is canceled, but recording
continues until Sleep Timer shuts off the power.
