INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT The CD player can read
most of the compression systems cur-
rently on sale (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT When loading a multi-ses-
sion CD, only the first session will be
played. IMPORTANT Should copy-protected
CDs be used, then, few seconds may be
required for playing them. Moreover, due
to the proliferation of always new and dif-
ferent protection methods, it is not guar-
anteed that the CD player can play what-
ever protected disc. Copy protection is
often indicated on the CD cover in small
letters or hard to read characters. Usu-
ally it is indicated by writings like: “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols
like:TECHNICAL DATA
❒Power: 4 x 30 W
❒Speakers: 6
❒HiFi system: 8 speakers and subwoofer
(where provided)
❒CD Changer presetting
❒Anti-theft protection system
Protected discs (and their cover) very often
are not marked with the audio CD identi-
fication symbol:

❒adopted CD-ROM shall be mastered
according to ISO9660 Standard;
❒music files shall be renamed as “.mp3”
otherwise they cannot be played;
❒sampling frequencies are: 44.1 kHz,
stereo (96 to 320 kbit/s) - 22.05 kHz,

tracks (files).
IMPORTANT Characters: blank, ‘ (apos-
trophe), ( and ) (open and closed brack-
ets) are not admitted in MP3 track names.
