Inserting a disc

•When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.

•Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16")discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Playing a disc

•While fast-forwarding or reversing an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

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

•This unit 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 unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

–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 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.
