Basic Disc Operations

General

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in both audio and MP3/WMA formats.

The unit cannot read or play an MP3 track without the extension code <mp3>, and a WMA track without the extension code <wma>.

When a disc has been already loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

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

If you keep the control panel open for about 1 minute, the control panel returns to its previous position.

Playing a disc

While playing an audio CD: If a title has been assigned to the audio CD (see page 41), it will be shown on the display.

While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds. (The elapsed playing time also changes intermittently on the display.)

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

Discs are dirty or scratched.

Moisture condensation on the lens inside the unit.

The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Do not use 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs. For example,

Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.

Stickers or labels may peel off so discs cannot be ejected.

Print on discs may get sticky.

Read instructions or cautions about labels and printable discs carefully.

Changing the source

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

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