Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

ENGLISH

•Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

•This receiver can play back only the files of the same type which is first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

•This receiver can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the receiver.

–The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.

–CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

–Improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

•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 damages to discs.

Playing an MP3/WMA track

•This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

•This receiver can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

•This receiver can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed (see page 44).

•This receiver 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) 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for WMA)

–Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2, Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name

•For MP3/WMA discs:

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 (72) characters

–Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters

–Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)

characters

*The parenthetic figure is the maximum number of characters for file/folder names in case the total number of files and folders is 313 or more.

•For SD cards:

The maximum number of characters for folder name is 8 characters; file name is 12 characters.

The receiver cannot recognize folder with period (.) on the folder name.

•This receiver can recognize the total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies of an MP3/WMA disc; 255 files and 63 folders of an SD card.

•This receiver can play back the files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate).

The 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.
