Disc Information
This unit has been designed to play back the following
discs—CD, CD-R, CD-RW and VIDEO CD (VCD).
You can play back the discs containing the tracks in audio CD
format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Joliet format.
• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3
disc,” “folder” is referred to as “group” and “file” is
referred to as “track.”
•This unit cannot play CD-I (CD-I ready), CD-ROM and
Photo CD.
When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already
“finalized.”
• This unit cannot play “multi-session” discs.
•This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because
of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if
the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
About color system
•This unit accommodates both NTSC and PAL system
and can playback discs recorded with either system.
To change the color system, see page 8.
Notes for MP3 files
•The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as
the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper
and lower case.
• This unit recognizes up to 256 folders (including the root
folder) and 640 files on a disc.
• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1
kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because
of their characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than regular discs
because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
•This unit supports ID3 Tag ver. 1/1.1.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
•Keep the unit’s disc cover closed when not in use.
• Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
