•The maximum number of characters in the ID3 tag information that can be displayed by this player is 32. Characters other than alpha- numerics will not be displayed properly.

•Digital signals are not output from the player while playing discs recorded using MP3 files.

•It may not be possible for CD-R/CD-RW discs on which MP3 files were recorded to be played properly depending on the environment of the personal computer used to record the files, the writing software program, and the CD-R/CD-RW discs concerned. Check the external components used.

•MP3 files on mixed CDs or enhanced CDs containing a mixture of the CD-DA format for music purposes and MP3 files cannot be played. Only the CD-DA format for music purposes will be played.

•This player also supports discs created by multisessions.

•It is recommended that the maximum number of sessions on a CD-R or CD-RW disc be 10; the maximum number of albums for all sessions be 20; and the maximum number of files be 200.

CD TO TAPE DUBBING

The CD source can be dubbed directly onto the tape deck by two means: manual recording or automatic level control (ALC On). During manual record dub- bing, the level desired is adjusted by manually adjusting the record level control. After the desired level is adjusted, you then release the tape deck to record. During ALC dubbing, the record level is adjusted automatically based on the peak levels of the source and the tape deck enters the dubbing mode automatically.

MANUAL LEVEL TAPE DUBBING

1.By pressing the CD STOP/EJECT button and the tape eject button you can load the CD to be dubbed onto the CD tray and a recordable tape into the tape transport. Gently press the front of each mechanism to close them. The CD display will register the general CD data and the tape play indicator located inside of the tape PLAY button will begin to flash.

2.Prepare the tape for dubbing by rewinding it to the beginning of the first side onto which the tape is to be recorded.

3.Set the ALC switch to the OFF position.

4.Press the DUBB button once. The REC indicator will begin to flash; the DUBB indicator will light; and the CD player will enter play mode. At this point, you can adjust the record level control to achieve the desired record level.

5.After adjusting the record level, press the DUBB button again. The CD player will return to the stop mode and the tape transport will enter into the record mode. After approximately five seconds the CD player will enter the playback mode and begin to play the first track, dubbing it onto the tape.

6.When either the CD transport or the tape trans- port have reached the end and stopped, the other transport will also stop.

7.To end the dubbing during a session, press the STOP on the tape transport or the STOP/EJECT button on the CD player.
