Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the
CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but
cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW
discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the
device that was used for recording.
MP3:
MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which
is processed by significant compression from the original
audio source with very little loss in sound quality.
This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3 and VBR files.
During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may
differ from its actual playback time.
Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.
WMA:
WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include
audio files which are compressed with Windows Media
Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio
format file for Windows Media Player.
“MP3” and “WMA” indicator will light up after the unit reads
information on an MP3 or WMA disc.
Bitrate which is supported by WMA is 64 ~ 160 kbps.
Caution:
Do not place two discs in the disc compartment.
Do not play discs of special shapes (heart, octagon, etc). It
may cause malfunctions.
Do not push the disc compartment while it is moving.
If the power fails while the compartment is open, wait until the
power is restored.
If TV or radio interference occurs during CD operation, move
the unit away from the TV or radio.
Be sure to place 8 cm (3") disc in the middle of the disc
compartment.
Due to the structure of the disc information, it takes longer to
read an MP3/WMA disc than a normal CD (approximately 20
to 90 seconds).
