Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 8 to 11)
Listening to the Radio:
•If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the
previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this
happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
•When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc
tray.
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file
configuration.)
–Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be skipped.
This result from their recording processes and conditions.
–When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3 files with the extension
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
–Some characters or symbols will not be shown correctly on
the display.
The maximum character number shown on the display is 32
(without the extension code) for files, and 30 for ID3 tag.
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
–This System can recognize the total of 500 tracks and of 200
groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be
recognized.
–Playback order of MP3 tracks may be different from the one
you have intended while recording. If a folder does not
include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
When discs* are loaded on more than one tray, they are
played in sequence as follows:
Ex.: When CD 2 is selected:
CD 2 -> CD 3 -> CD 4 -> CD 5 -> CD 1 (then selects
CD 2, and stops)
* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is
skipped.
You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another
disc.
