To listen an MP3 CDThis CD player allows you to play MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-
3) files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable CDs), and
CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet,
and Romeo formats. Each disc may have a maximum of
16 trees, 100 folders, and 255 files per disc. During MP3 play-
back, the unit can display ID3 tag information. For information
concerning ID3 tag, refer to “CD text and MP3 title display” on
page 5-44.
1. Insert a disc containing MP3 files into the slot.
2. Press the CD button (8) for 2 seconds or longer to switch
to MP3 CD mode from normal music CD mode. The dis-
play shows “READING”, then playback will begin. The
folder number and the track number will appear on the
display.
NOTE●While listening to a disc on which both CD-DA (CD-Dig-
ital Audio) and MP3 files have been recorded, you can
switch between reading of the CD-DA, reading of the
MP3 files, and AUX (auxiliary input) by pressing the CD
button for 2 seconds or longer (until you hear a beep).
●With a disc that contains both CD-DA and MP3 files, the
CD-DA are automatically played first.
●The playback sound quality differs depending on the
encoding software and the bit rate. For details, refer to the
user manual of your encoding software.
●Depending on file/folder configurations on a disc, it may
take some time before playback starts.
●MP3 encode software and writing software are not sup-
plied to this unit.
●You may encounter trouble in playing an MP3 or display-
ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain
writing software or CD recorders (CD-R/RW drivers).
●If you record too many folders or files other than MP3
onto a disc, it may take some time before playback starts.
●This unit does not record MP3 files.
●For information concerning CD-Rs/RWs, refer to “Notes
on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-51.
CAUTION
!●Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
which has the “.mp3” file name may produce noise
from the speakers and speaker damage, and can
damage your hearing.
