Troubleshooting guide (model with type A, B, C, D, E, F audio unit):Symptom Cause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check i\f the disc was inserted correctly.
Check i\f the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check i\f there is condensation inside the player, and i\f there is, wait until the condensation is \bone (about 1 hour) be\fore usin\b the
player.
I\f there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly a\fter it returns to the normal temperature.
I\f there is a mixture o\f music CD \files (CD-DA data) , MP3/WMA \files on a CD, only the music CD \files (CD-DA data) will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number o\f
characters \for \folder names and \file names should be in compliance with the speci\fications.
Check i\f the disc or the \file is \benerated in an irre\bular \format. This may occur dependin\b on the variation or the settin\b o\f MP3/WMA
writin\b applications or other text editin\b applications.
Check i\f the \finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done \for the disc.
Check i\f the disc is protected by copyri\bht.
Poor sound quality Check i\f the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively lon\b time be\fore
the music starts playin\b. I\f there are many \folder or \file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or i\f it is a multisession disc, some time may be required be\fore the music
starts playin\b.
Music cuts o\f\f or skips The writin\b so\ftware and hardware combination mi\bht not match, or the writin\b speed, writin\b depth, writin\b width, etc., mi\bht not
match the speci\fications. Try usin\b the slowest writin\b speed.
Skippin\b with hi\bh bit rate \files Skippin\b may occur with lar\be quantities o\f data, such as \for hi\bh bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next son\b
when playin\b. When a non-MP3/WMA \file has been \biven an extension o\f “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3, “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyri\bht
protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds o\f no sound and then the player will skip to the next son\b.
The son\bs do not play back in the
desired order. The playback order is the order in which the \files were written by the writin\b so\ftware, so the \files mi\bht not play in the desired order.

Troubleshooting guide (model with type G audio unit):Symptom Cause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Che\fk if the dis\f or \bSB memory devi\fe was inserted \forre\ftly.
Che\fk if the dis\f is s\frat\fhed or dirty.
Che\fk if there is \fondensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the \fondensation is gone (about 1 hour) before
using the player.
If there is a temperature in\frease error, the player will play \forre\ftly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of musi\f CD files (CD-DA data) and \fompressed audio files on a CD, only the musi\f CD files (CD-DA
data) will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)” or “.WMA (.wma)” \fannot be played. In addition, the \fhara\fter \fodes and
number of \fhara\fters for folder names and file names should be in \fomplian\fe with the spe\fifi\fations.
Che\fk if the dis\f or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may o\f\fur depending on the variation or the setting of
\fompressed audio writing appli\fations or other text editing appli\fations.
Che\fk if the finalization pro\fess, su\fh as session \flose and dis\f \flose, is done for the dis\f.
Che\fk if the dis\f or \bSB memory devi\fe is prote\fted by \fopyright.
Poor sound quality Che\fk if the dis\f is s\frat\fhed or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before the musi\f
starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the dis\f or \bSB memory devi\fe, some time may be required before the musi\f
starts playing.
Musi\f \futs off or skips The writing software and hardware \fombination might not mat\fh, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, et\f.,
might not mat\fh the spe\fifi\fations. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may o\f\fur with large quantities of data, su\fh as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song when playing. If an unsupported \fompressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by
\fopyright prote\ftion, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play ba\fk in the desired order. The playba\fk order is the order in whi\fh the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the
desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be a\ftive on the audio system or on a \bSB memory devi\fe.
