Caution:

11≥Only 5z (12 cm) CD, CD-DA data recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs, MP3 data recorded CD media (CD-

ROM, CD-R, CD-RW) are available for this unit.

≥If a disc contains both CD-DA and MP3 data, only one type of data will be played back. For example, if the disc starts with CD-DA data, it will be recognized as an ordinary music CD, if it starts with an MP3 file, it will be recognized as an MP3.

≥Refer to page 51 about notes on CD-Rs/RWs.

≥Refer to page 42 about notes on MP3.

≥To avoid damaging the front panel, do not push it down or place objects on it while it is open.

≥Do not use irregular shaped discs.

≥Do not use discs that have a seal or label attached.

≥Do not insert foreign matter into the disc slot.

≥Never attempt to play a file that is not in the MP3 format by changing its file name extension to “.mp3”. This may not only produce noise from the speakers and speaker damage, but can damage your hearing.

≥Do not watch the scroll display while driving a car. (➡ page 30)

Note:

Not all CD media containing MP3 data will play back normally. For details see “Notes on MP3”. (➡ page 42)

Note:

≥This unit counts the number of folders irrespec- tive of the presence or absence of MP3 file. (Example: there is no MP3 file in a root folder as shown in the drawing, but a folder number “001” is given. In fact, there is no MP3 file to repro- duce. Therefore, the next folder is automatically selected.)

≥The writing software sometimes changes the order of folders and files on a disc, so the order may differ from what you specified. For details refer to the user manual of your writing software.

≥If you record too many folders or files other than MP3s onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts, and you may have difficulties using fast forward and fast reverse.

≥Playback order varies with players even if the same disc is loaded.

Stop and Disc Eject

1Press [OPEN] on the front panel.

2Press [<] (eject) to stop MP3 play and eject the disc.

Note:

≥Ejecting the disc when the unit is in the MP3 player mode allows the power to be turned off.
