Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device

(see page 4)

•	This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
	– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used.
	– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
	– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than
	regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
	file configuration.)
	– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be
	skipped. This result from their recording processes and
	conditions.
	– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or
	Level 2 for the disc format.
	– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
	extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
	letter case—upper/lower).
	– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at
	a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
	System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of less
	than 64 kbps.
	– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the
	one you have intended while recording. If a folder (group)
	does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.
• Do not use the following USB mass storage class devices...
	– Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.
	– Equipped with special functions such as data security
	functions.
	– Divided by 2 or more partitions.
•	For the USB mass storage class device playback...
	– When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also
	refer to its manual.
	– Connect one USB mass storage class device to the System
	at a time. Do not use a USB hub.
	– This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.
	– You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage
	class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).
	– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabytes.
	– This System may not play back some USB mass storage
	class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights

•If incompatible iPod is connected, the iPod may not be operated from the System.

•When an iPod is connected to the System, the battery in the iPod is charged through the iPod terminal (except when the ECO Mode is activated).

•Sound distortion may occur when playing back audio sources with high recording levels. When distortion occurs, it is recommended to turn off the equalizer of the iPod. For information on operating the iPod, see the iPod instruction manual.

Setting the Clock and Using Timers (see page 6)

•You cannot set the clock and Daily Timer while the ECO (Ecology) Mode is activated.

•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, adjust the clock.

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

Timer Priority:

•If you activate the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
