Low quality discs
 Labeled discs
 Handle  discs  carefully,  especially  when
you  are  inserting  them.  Hold  them  on  the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints  on  them,  particularly  on  the
shiny side.
 Dirt,  scratches,  warping,  pin  holes,  or
other  disc  damage  could  cause  the  CD
player  to  skip  or  to  repeat  a  section  of  a
track.  (To  see  a  pin  hole,  hold  the  disc  up
to the light.)
 Remove  discs  from  the  CD  player  when
you are not using them. Store them in their
plastic  cases  away  from  moisture,  heat,
and direct sunlight.
 To  clean  a  disc :  Wipe  it  with  a  soft,  lint-
free  cloth  that  has  been  dampened  with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
tre to the edge of the disc (not in a circle).
Do  not  use  a  conventional  record  cleaner
or anti-static device.
NOTICE
● Do not use special shaped, transparent/
translucent,  low  quality  or  labeled  discs
such as those shown in the illustrations.
The  use  of  such  discs  may  damage  the
player,  or  it  may  be  impossible  to  eject
the disc.
● This  system  is  not  designed  for  use  of
Dual  Disc.  Do  not  use  Dual  Disc
because  it  may  cause  damage  to  the
player.

AUDIO SYSTEM
MP3  (MPEG  Audio  Layer  3)  and  WMA
(Windows  Media  Audio)  are  audio  com-
pression standards.
 The  MP3/WMA  player  can  play  MP3  and
WMA  files  on  CD-ROM,  CD-R  and  CD-
RW discs.
The unit can play disc recordings compati-
ble with ISO 9660 level 1,2 (Romeo Joliet)
and UDF (2.01 or lower) file system.
 When  naming  an  MP3  or  WMA  file,  add
the  appropriate  file  extension  (.mp3  or
.wma).
 The  MP3/WMA  player  plays  back  files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3
or  WMA  files.  To  prevent  noise  and  play-
back errors, use the appropriate file exten-
sions.
 The  player  can  play  only  the  first  session
using multi-session compatible CDs.
 MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver.  1.0,  Ver.  1.1,  Ver.  2.2,  and  Ver.  2.3
formats.  The  unit  cannot  display  disc  title,
track title and artist name in other formats.
 USB  memory:  MP3  files  are  compatible
with  the  ID3  Tag  Ver.  1.0,  Ver.  1.1,  Ver.
2.2, Ver. 2.3 and Ver. 2.4 formats. The unit
cannot  display  track  title  and  artist  name
in other formats.
 WMA  files  can  contain  a  WMA  tag  that  is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags  carry  information  such  as  track  title,
artist name.
 The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally  improves  with  higher  bit  rates.  In
order  to  achieve  a  reasonable  level  of
sound quality, files recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.MP3 files:
MPEG 1 AUDIO LAYER 3 
32, 44.1, 48
kHz
MPEG2 AUDIO LAYER3

WMA files for WMA player:

M3u  playlists  are  not  compatible  with  the
audio player.
 MP3i  (MP3  interactive)  and  MP3PRO  for-
mats  are  not  compatible  with  the  audio
player.
 The  player  is  compatible  with  VBR  (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
 When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable  Bit  Rate)  files,  the  play  time  will
not be correctly displayed if fast-forward or
reverse operations are used.
 It  is  not  possible  to  check  folders  that  do
not include MP3/WMA files.

1. AUDIO SYSTEM OPERATION
MP3/WMA  files  in  folders  up  to  8  levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback  may  be  delayed  when  using
discs  containing  numerous  levels  of  fold-
ers. For this reason, we recommend creat-
ing  discs  with  no  more  than  two  levels  of
folders.
 WMA  files  Ver.  9  depends  on  “Windows
Media
® Audio Standard”.
 The  play  order  of  the  compact  disc  with
the  structure  shown  on  the  left  is  as  fol-
lows:
 MP3/WMA player: It is possible to play up
to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.
 USB memory:
Maximum  number  of  folder  in  device:
3000
Maximum  number  of  files  in  one  folder:
255
Maximum number of files in device: 9999
 The  order  changes  depending  on  the  PC
and  MP3/WMA  encoding  software  you
use. 
CD-R/CD-RW  discs  that  have  not  been
subject  to  the  “finalizing  process”  (a  pro-
cess  that  allows  discs  to  be  played  on  a
conventional  CD  player)  cannot  be
played.
 It  may  not  be  possible  to  play  CD-R/CD-
RW  discs  recorded  on  a  music  CD
recorder  or  a  personal  computer  because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the  disc,  or  dirt,  condensation,  etc.  on  the
lens of the unit.
 It  may  not  be  possible  to  play  discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing  on  the  application  settings  and  the
environment.  Record  with  the  correct  for-
mat.  (For  details,  contact  the  appropriate
application  manufacturers  of  the  applica-
tions.)
 CD-R/CD-RW  discs  may  be  damaged  by
direct  exposure  to  sunlight,  high  tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may  be  unable  to  play  some  damaged
discs.
 If  you  insert  a  CD-RW  disc  into  the  MP3/
WMA  player,  playback  will  begin  more
slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-
R disc.
 Recordings  on  CD-R/CD-RW  cannot  be
played  using  the  D DCD  (Double  Density
CD) system.

AUDIO SYSTEM
This  is  a  general  term  that  describes  the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R,  etc.,  in  the  same  way  that  data  is  writ-
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 This  is  a  method  of  embedding  track-
related  information  in  an  MP3  file.  This
embedded  information  can  include  the
track  title,  the  artist’s  name,  the  album
title,  the  music  genre,  the  year  of  produc-
tion,  comments  and  other  data.  The  con-
tents  can  be  freely  edited  using  software
with  ID3  tag  editing  functions.  Although
the  tags  are  restricted  to  the  number  of
characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
 WMA  files  can  contain  a  WMA  tag  that  is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags  carry  information  such  as  track  title,
artist name.
 This  is  the  international  standard  for  the
formatting  of  CD-ROM  folders  and  files.
For  the  ISO  9660  format,  there  are  two
levels of regulations.
 Level  1:  The  file  name  is  in  8.3  format  (8
character  file  names,  with  a  3  character
file  extension.  File  names  must  be  com-
posed of one-byte capital letters and num-
bers.  The  “_”  symbol  may  also  be
included.)
 Level  2:  The  file  name  can  have  up  to  31
characters  (including  the  separation  mark
“.”  and  file  extension).  Each  folder  must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies.
 Playlists  created  using  “WINAMP”  soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). 
MP3  is  an  audio  compression  standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the  ISO  (International  Standard  Organiza-
tion).  MP3  compresses  audio  data  to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
 WMA (Windows  Media Audio) is an audio
compression  format  developed  by
Microsoft
®.  It  compresses  files  into  a  size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing  formats  for  WMA  files  are  Ver.  7,  8,
and 9.
