Using the CD Player

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
•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-ReWri-
table) 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.
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect-
ance 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.
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 the file (track) names and ID3v1 tags (only
“Title”, “Artist” and “Album”) on the display after starts play;
however, there is a limitation on available characters and some
file names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.
More about MP3 discs
MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer read-
out 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 ex-
tensions— “.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.
Non-MP3 folders are counted when reading disc, but ig-
nored during playing back.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics or recorded 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 recom-
mended.
