Playing Back Discs on the 5-CD Changer
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music
CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.
• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3
disc,” and “file” is also referred to as “track.”
When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already
“
finalized
.”
• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).
• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
Notes for MP3 files
• The player can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3”
as the extensions, which can be in any combination of
upper and lower case.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1
kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because
of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than normal discs
because of the complexity of the group/file configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in
cabinets or on shelves.
• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.
• Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-
shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
