Playing Back Discs

Continued

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

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

•Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD- RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes they may not play depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

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

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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. The file name needs to be up to 30 characters.

•This unit recognizes files (tracks) and folders (groups) on a disc in the following conditions (including the root folder):

–up to 99 folders and 999 files.

–up to 8th layers.

•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 folder/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.

Caution for DualDisc playback:

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
