ENGLISH
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular
CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or high
humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums, artists
(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or
2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.
• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No
other characters can be correctly displayed.
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the
conditions below:
– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)
24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)
– Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2, Romeo,
Joliet, Windows long file name
• The maximum number of characters for file/folder
names vary among the disc format used (includes 4
extension characters—<.mp3> or <.wma>).
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo: up to 128 characters
– Joliet: up to 64 characters
– Windows long file name: up to 128 characters
• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of 200
folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable
bit rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed
time display, and do not show the actual elapsed
time. Especially, after performing the search function,
this difference becomes noticeable.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.
– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and
voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon Windows
Media
®
Audio.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have the data such as WAVE, ATRAC3,
etc.
• The search function works but search speed is not
constant.
Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “DISC” for the playback source,
disc play starts from where it has been stopped
previously.
Ejecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,
the disc is automatically inserted again into the
loading slot to protect it from dust.
• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you
cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another
disc or press SOURCE to select another playback
source.
General settings—PSM
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level
is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically
changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
