Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 15)

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 (3-3/16inch) disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

•This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–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 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).

–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 a bit rate of 128 kbps. Similarly each WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 96 kbps.

–This System can recognize the total of 255 files and folders. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

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

When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows:

Ex.: When CD 2 is selected:

CD 2 -> CD 3 -> 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.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments

(see pages 16)Adjusting the Volume:

•Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

•This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

Setting the Clock:

•“AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock.

Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 21 to 23)

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

•If you try to program a 33rd track, “FULL” appears on the display.

•While programming steps...

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Timer Operations (see pages 24 and 25)

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

•If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
