Playing Back CDs

Continued

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

Recordable ReWritable

Audio CD

CD-R (CD-Recordable)

CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)*

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back when they are already “finalized.”

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

Important notices:

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs and the mechanism clean.

Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

Keep the unit’s carrousel closed when not in use.

Continuous use of irregular shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

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

* For MP3 discs

This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as “tracks” and “albums.”

The player can only recognize files with “.MP3” or “.mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case. The file name needs to be up to 32 characters.

This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions:

up to 500 MP3 files.

up to 200 folders (including the root folder).

Playback order of the MP3 files (tracks) recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the files and the folders.

This unit shows up to 30 characters of the file (track) names and the ID3v1/1.1 tags (only “Title,” “Artist,” and “Album”) on the display after the file starts play; however, there is a limitation on available characters and some file names and ID3v1/1.1 tags are not shown correctly.

More about MP3 discs

MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

This unit does not support multisession recording.

This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions— “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3”, and “.mp3”.

Non-MP3 files are ignored. If non-MP3 files are recorded together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.

Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Caution for DualDisc playback

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non- DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
