DISC INFORMATION

•Playback of discs is generally not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface. Even so, they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

•Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

MP3 playback

This unit can play MP3 format audio recorded for personal use with a computer etc. onto CD-R or CD-RW. Play may not be possible in some cases due to the condition of the recording.

Discs recorded using MP3 differ from CDs in the following ways.

Structure of the disc (example)

Since the MP3 format can store several albums on a disc, a folder is assigned to a “Title”, and a file is assigned to a “Chapter”.

Root directory

: Title (Folder)

: Chapter (File)

Starting play from a selected chapter

Select a chapter using the numeric buttons (see “To select a specific track” on page 33) and press ENTER.

Repeat play

You can use chapter repeat or title repeat. (See page 45.)
