Playing Back CDs
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• Audio CD
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)
*
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back when they are
already “finalized.”
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• 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.
Important notices:
• In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
- Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
- Keep the unit’s carrousel closed when not in use.
• Continuous use of irregular shaped discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

*For MP3 discs
• This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as
“tracks” and “albums.”
• Playback order of the MP3 files (tracks) recorded on a disc
are determined by the writing (or encoding) application;
therefore, playback order may be different from the one
you have intended while recording the files and the folders.
• This unit shows the file (track) names and the ID3v1/1.1
tags (only “Title” and “Artist”) on the display after the file
starts play; however, there is a limitation on available
characters and some file names and ID3v1/1.1 tags are not
shown correctly.
More about MP3 discs
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout
time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording
configuration.)
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as
the disc format.
• This unit does not support multisession recording.
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• Non-MP3 files are ignored. If non-MP3 files are recorded together
with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It
may also cause the unit to malfunction.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
