ENGLISH

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

–There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, 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 a 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 damage to the unit.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

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

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

•This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

•This unit 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)

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

•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 characters

–Joliet: up to 64 characters

–Windows long file name: up to 128 characters

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

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.

•This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.

•This unit cannot play back the following files:

–MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.

–MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.

–MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.

–WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and voice format.

–WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media® Audio.

–WMA files copy-protected with DRM.

–Files which have the data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.

•The search function works but search speed is not constant.

Changing the source

•If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “DISC” for the playback source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

•If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

•If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from “HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
