As the number increases, the sound becomes louder.

Basic and Common Operations (see page 3)

•Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the System and starts playing back if the source is ready or connected.

•To cancel the display demonstration momentarily, press and hold DEMO while the System is turned on, until “DEMO OFF” appears. Disconnecting and reconnecting the power plug will start the display demonstration again.

Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device

(see page 4)

•This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used for MP3/WMA operations.

–MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)

–Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

–When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

–This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

–It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

–Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder (group) does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

–Some characters or symbols will not be shown correctly on the display.

The maximum character number shown on the display is 30 for ID3 tag.

–This System can recognize a total of 999 tracks and 255 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

•For the USB mass storage class device playback...

–When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also refer to its manual.

–Connect one USB mass storage class device directly to the System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.

–This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.

–You cannot play back a file larger than 2 GB.

–This System may not play back some USB mass storage class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management).

–Coded or encrypted tracks in a special method cannot be played on the System.

–This System cannot recognize a USB mass storage class device whose rating exceeds 5 V/500 mA.

–When playing a file which has a large transfer rate, sounds may be dropped during playback.

–Some USB mass storage class devices may not be recognized or may not work properly.

–The compatible format is FAT16/FAT32.

Listening to Other Equipment (see page 5)

•If the audio output on the other equipment is not stereo mini plug type, use a plug adapter to convert the stereo mini plug to the corresponding plug of the audio output. Refer to the manuals supplied with the other equipment.

•The recording level is not affected by the volume.

•Hyper Bass Sound, tone adjustment, and Sound Turbo (see page 3) do not affect recordings.

•You can record up to 99 tracks per group to the USB mass storage class device.

•The tracks which are recorded to the USB mass storage class device will be converted into MP3 format.

•You cannot start recording into a USB mass storage class device while “READING” is shown on the display.

•Do not disconnect a USB mass storage class device while playing or recording. It may cause malfunction.

•During recording, the Random Play and Repeat Play will be canceled.

•Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

•Put the disc back in its case after use.

•Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:

•Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cleaning the System

•Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

•Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

–DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

–DO NOT wipe it hard.
