Notes

•Before playing a track, this unit reads all track and album information on the disc. Depending on the track structure, it may take more than a minute before playback begins. During this time, “READ” is displayed. Play will automatically start when reading is complete.

•Depending on the condition of the disc, it may not play back (page 7, 8).

•While the first/last track on the disc is playing, if (SEEK) (–) or (SEEK) (+) is pressed, playback skips to the last/first track of the disc.

•When the last track on the disc is over, playback restarts from the first track of the disc.

•If you play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as 320 kbps, sound may be intermittent.
