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

The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. This difference becomes noticeable, especially after performing the search function.

This unit cannot play back the following files:

– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format.

MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated 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 formatted 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 “CD” 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.”

Other main functions

If you try to assign a title to a 31st disc or to the 31st station frequency, “NAMEFULL” flashes on the display. Delete unwanted titles before assignment.

Titles assigned to discs in the CD changer can also be shown if you playback the disc from the unit.
