CD-R and CD-RW AUDIO DISCS

The C 515BEE can play back CD-R or CDRW audio discs that have been recorded on a computer or CD recorder. The quality of CD-R, CD-RW audio discs varies widely which may affect playability. Some factors that affect playability:

The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R, CD-RW blanks from well-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.

The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some recorders and writers produce better results than others.

The CD-R and CD-RW were created with high-speed writing. In general, the quality of a CD-R or CD-RW is better when produced at a lower speed against a higher speed on the same recorder or re/writer.

PLAYING MP3/WMA FILES

The C 515BEE can play MP3/WMA formatted recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs. You may mix any of the file types on the disc. Using the CD 7 remote control, one can select through the MP3/WMA folders and files as well as start playback through the following steps

NOTES

The file number is recognized per disc, not per folder – that is, the number assigned to each file corresponds to their sequence in the disc.

If you want to select file number “9” in a disc where there are 100 or more MP3/WMA files, press “0” twice and then “9.”

PROGRAMMING

The program function enables you to store your favorite tracks from any disc in the player memory. When programming a sequence of tracks, the C 515BEE must be in STOP mode. Using the CD 7 remote control, enter your desired program sequence through the following steps

Upon entering the second track, the VFD will again briefly show the total number and total time of the currently programmed tracks like “TTL 02 6:45” – “TTL 02” indicates that there are now a total of two programmed tracks and “6:45” is the total playback time of both programmed tracks.

4Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select and store other track numbers in memory, up to a maximum of 40 entries. If you attempt to program more than 40 tracks or files, “P-FULL” will be displayed in the VFD.

5Press [PROGRAM] to end or finalize the program – the VFD will show the last programmed number and track.

6 Press to start program playback.

NOTES

The procedure for programming MP3/WMA files is the same as above with an exception at step 2 and 3 – the total number of programmed files and total playback time will not be displayed during programming.

If you want to select file number “9” in a disc where there are 100 or more MP3/WMA files, press “0” twice and then “9.”
