Playing Back Discs

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.

•In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3 disc,” and “file” is also referred to as “track.”

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

•Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD- ReWritable) can be played only if they are already “finalized.”

•This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

•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.

•This unit recognizes up to 500 MP3 files on a disc.

•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.

•ID 3 Tag is not available.

•MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

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.
