•The DPC-7.5 can only recognize the first session on multises- sion discs.

•You can determine the order in which the DPC-7.5 plays/dis- plays your MP3/WMA songs and JPEG pictures by prefixing file and folder names with a three-digit number. For example 001.Root, 002.Folder, and so on, and 001.Track.mp3, 002.Track.mp3, and so on.

•Only the first eight characters of folder and track names (excluding the filename extension) are displayed.

•The folder numbered “001” appears as “ROOT” in the Disc Navigator.

•The DPC-7.5 supports up to 999 folders and up to 672 files per folder.

•If you try to play an incompatible file, the message “This for- mat cannot be played” appears on the display.

Handling Discs

•Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs by the edge, as shown.

Underside

• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.

Cleaning Discs

•For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints and dust can affect the sound and picture quality and should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a circular direction.

✔

•To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.

•Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because they may damage the disc.
