What’s so special about this
audio CD / mp3 disc player?
Besides traditional audio CDs, this player is
meant to play mp3 files encoded on a CD-ROM.
You can store up to 12 hours of music on a single
disc (at 128kbps).
Creating mp3 CDs requires the use of a computer
with a CD-R / CD-RW writer and a music
management software (MusicMatch Jukebox
recommended).
You may download MusicMatch Jukebox
(www.musicmatch.com), and follow the
installation and operation instructions in order
to enjoy mp3 playback.
This unit is compatible with
audio CD-R/RW discs.

• Use .mp3 as the extension when
converting audio files into mp3 for saving
onto CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, e.g.
Rocky08.mp3. Do not use any other
extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.
• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other
text or non-audio data files as this may
result in serious malfunction and harmful
noise interference.
• In order to get audio CD quality, you need
to record your mp3 CD at 128 kbps. You
can record from 32 kbps to 320kbps.

Cleaning the exterior
• Disconnect the system from AC power
before cleaning the exterior of the unit with
a soft dust cloth
• Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or
slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT
use solvents as it may cause damage to the
unit.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs
by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the
label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the
label.
• CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player.
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped)
CDs
• Make sure CDs are stored in their original
case after use. Keep them away from damp,
humid or abnormally heated places.
Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality.
Always keep CDs clean by wiping them
gently with a soft cloth from the inner
edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in
water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away
gently, and then remove any water drops
with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or
antistatic agents on CDs. Also, never clean
CDs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents which may cause damage to disc
surface.
CD Lens Care
• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also
cause the system to output poor sound
quality. To clean the lens you will need to
purchase a CD lens cleaner which can
maintain the output sound quality of your
system. For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the
lens cleaner.
Cassettes
•To protect your recordings from accidental
erasure on one or both sides of your
cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the
cassette. If you decide later to record on the
tape, seal the hole with a piece of adhesive
tape. (Refer to diagram)
•Quit Slacking - A little bit of
slack in your tapes can cause
scratches on the tape, or
worse yet, the tape could
break. If you notice some
slack in the tape, use a pencil
to tighten it up before you insert it.
