Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high

temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These

conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

shortening the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit

and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Power cord protection

Ensure the AC power cord is connected correctly and not damaged.

Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the cord.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the cord. Pulling the AC

power cord can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric

shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric

shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or

malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the

power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain

flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,

indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not

covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC power cord

and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock

or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled

or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source

if it is not to be used for a long time.

How discs with MP3 differ from CDs

This unit can play MP3 files recorded on CD-R/RW with a computer.

Files are treated as tracks and folders are treated as albums.

This unit can access up to 999 tracks, 195 albums and 20 sessions.

When making MP3 files to play on this unit

Disc format

Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

File format

MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

To play in a certain order

Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digit

numbers in the order you want to play them.

Files may not be recorded in numbered order if

the prefixes have different numbers of digits.

For example: 1????.mp3, 2????.mp3, 10????.mp3.

However, some writing software may also

cause recording to occur in a different order.

Limitations on MP3 play

•

This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

•

When both MP3 and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc over a

number of sessions:

•

If the first session contains MP3 recordings, the unit will play from

the MP3 made in that session till the session before the first CD-DA

recordings.

•

If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will play only

the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions will

be ignored.

•

Maximum number of displayable characters:

Album/track title: 21

ID3 title/artist name: 24

Text data that the unit doesn’t support cannot be displayed.

(ID3 is a tag embedded in MP3 track to provide information about

the track.)

•

You cannot use 1-RANDOM play, A-RANDOM play, search function,

and time access function.

•

Some MP3 may not be played due to the condition of the disc or

recording.

•

Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you recorded

them.
