Playing Back Discs on the 5-CD Changer

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.

•In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3 disc,” and “file” is also referred to as “track.”

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

•Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD- ReWritable) can be played only if they are already “finalized.”

•This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

•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. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

Notes for MP3 files

•The player can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case.

•It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

•Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

•MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the group/file configuration.

•MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

•Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.

•Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart- shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
