Playing Back Discs
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already
“finalized.”
• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-
RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes
they may not play depending on their characteristics or
recording conditions.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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. The file name needs to be up to 20
characters.
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the
following conditions (including the root folder):
– up to 512 folders and files.
– up to 8th layers.
• 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 folder/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.
Caution for DualDisc playback:
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with
the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the
use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not
be recommended.
