Disc playback

Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc

XL-DAB10

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.

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

2Press the CD button on the remote control or FUNCTION button on the main unit repeatedly to select CD function.

3Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the disc tray.

4Place the disc on the disc tray, label side up.

5Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to close the disc tray.

6Press the / button to start playback. After the last track is played, the unit will stop automatically.

Caution:

Do not place two discs in one disc tray.

Do not play discs of special shapes (heart, octagon, etc). It may cause malfunctions.

Do not push the disc tray whilst it is moving.

If the power fails whilst the tray 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 tray.

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).

Notes for CD or MP3/WMA disc:

When the end of the last track is reached during fast forward, the CD operation will be stopped. When the beginning of the first track is reached during fast reverse, the unit will enter the playback mode.

Rewritable multi-session discs with unfinished writing, can still be played.
