When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format or in MP3 or WMA format. (If a CD-RW has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)

•You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD format like an audio CD.

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

•The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time to read.

Playing Back a Disc/USB Memory/DAP:

•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 999 tracks and of 499 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.
