Basic and Common Operations (see page 3)
•Sound adjustments also affect the sound through the headphones.
•Sound adjustments do not affect recording to the external device.
•You can set the clock and daily timer while the Save mode is turned on. While setting the clock or daily timer, the display is turning on.
Playing Back Discs (see pages 4)
•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
–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 cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
–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.
•This System can recognize up to 511 tracks in a disc. Also, the System can recognize up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. (for MP3)
–If there are any unplayable files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.
–Playable files which do not belong to any groups are handled as Group 1.
MP3 groups/tracks configuration
This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.

Connecting a Portable Audio Device (see page 6)
Playing back a portable audio device:
•If a component connected to the LINE IN jack is not loud enough, QP Link may not work properly.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component louder so that the System can detect the sound signal properly.
•Changing from “LINE” to another source while QP Link works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
–Pressing QP LINK on the remote control
–When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
•If you press button to turn the System off or if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the System deactivates QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
–When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
–When you turn on the power again
Setting the Clock and Daily Timer (see page 5)
•“0:00” 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, readjust the clock.
•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.
•If you do not specify the preset station correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected station will be played when the timer is activated.
•When the
Timer Priority:
•If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
