2 Press the numbered buttons in the following way to select
a track.
Suppose the 1st album has 10 tracks, the 2nd one has
100 tracks and the 3rd one has 50 tracks.
-To select the 20th track of the 2nd album (30th track from
the beginning), press +10, +10, +10 and 0.
-
To select the 48th track of the 3 rd album (158th track from
the beginning), press +10 fifteen times and then press 8.
To perform Repeat playback for MP3-CDs
The procedures of Repeat playback for MP3-CDs are the
same as those in "CD OPERATIONS". Follow the steps
described there.
Random playback and programmed playback cannot be
used with MP3-CDs.
On TV screen display
- An album title list of the disc is displayed with the arrow
pointing to the currently selected album after loading the
disc or when skipping to a previous or a succeeding album.
-A track title list of the currently selected album is displayed
with the arrow pointing to the currently selected track when
skipping to a previous or a succeeding track, or during
playback.
On unit display
An album number and a track number are displayed when
skipping to a previous or a succeeding album or track, or
during stop.
The track number displayed there is the one numbered
consecutively from the beginning of the disc; that is, if the
1st album has 10 tracks and the 2nd one has 100 tracks, the
20th track of the 2nd album (30th track from the beginning)
is displayed as "030".
To display the title of the album and track on unit
display
Press TITLE. Press again to return to the normal display.
In this unit, the track title of ID3TAG has priority over that
of the ordinary MP3 format. The unit displays only the
track title of ID3TAG when recorded both the data.

En
Terminology
ISO 9660
ISO stands for the "International Organization for
Standardization". ISO 9660 determines the file structure
for the CD-ROMs. This unit can play MP3 files recorded
in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
Nesting of folders (albums)
To organize data files stored in a PC, you can store related
files in a folder. A folder can contain other folders as well
as files. For example, folder A can contain folder B, and
folder B can contain folder C; this is called "nesting of
folders". The maximum depth of nested folders, allowed
by ISO 9660, is 8.
•Writing utilities
There are 3 utilities used to record data on a disc.
1. DAO (Disc At Once) utility
All data to be written must be prepared in advance and
written onto a disc from the beginning to the end in one
operation. No data can be added to a disc on which data
were already written with DAO utility.
2. TAO (Track At Once) utility
Data are written onto a disc track by track. Data can be
added to a disc on which data were written with TAO
utility.
3. Packet writing utility
Tracks are divided into smaller pieces while being
recorded, depending on the size of available spaces on
the disc. Data can be added to a disc on which data
were written with packet writing utility.
This unit can play MP3 discs recorded using DAO and
TAO utilities.
ID3TAG
ID3TAG determines the data format for the text to be added
to an MP3 file, mainly used to indicate a track title or an
artist's name, etc. This unit can display the track title only.
Notes on creating MP3 discs
•When converting audio data to MP3
The unit supports MP3 files with a sampling frequency of
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
To enjoy high sound quality, we recommend storing MP3
files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit
rate of 128 kbps. The assured bit rate range for sound quality
on the unit is 96 kbps to 192 kbps. If an MP3 files stored
with a bit rate beyond that range is played back, sound
quality is not guaranteed and noise may be generated.
•When creating MP3 discs
Do not store more than 255 albums in a disc. Also, keep
the total number of albums and tracks 255 or less in a disc.
•To play tracks in the order they were recorded
1.Use a writing software capable of recording MP3 tracks
(files) in numerical and alphabetical order. For details
on using the software, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the software.
2.Use only one album. (Do not create a sub-album within
an album.)
3.Include a two- or three- digit number at the beginning
of each album or track name so that the albums and
tracks are played in order.
<example of recommended names>
01XXXXX.mp3
02XXXXX.mp3
03XXXXX.mp3
04XXXXX.mp3
05XXXXX.mp3
<example of names not recommended>
1XXXXX.mp3
5XXXXX.mp3
10XXXXX.mp3
15XXXXX.mp3
20XXXXX.mp3
(Numbers at the beginning have different digit number.
The tracks will not be played in this order but played in
the order of "1", "10", "15", "20" and "5".)
Descriptions of MP3
An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using MPEG1/2,
the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.
•In this manual, CDs, CD-R discs and CD-RW discs are all
referred to as "discs". We refer to what are called "folder"
and "file" in PC terminology as "album" and "track".
Notes on playing MP3 files
An MP3 track must be recorded on a disc in the format
compliant with ISO 9660. Note, however, that the unit may
not play tracks in the order they were recorded.
The maximum allowable number of tracks and albums in
a disc are as follows:
- number of tracks: 255 (including number of albums)
- number of albums: 255
The maximum allowable depth of nested albums is 8.
It may take 30 seconds or more before the unit can start
play of MP3 tracks, depending on the number of recorded
tracks and the complexity of the album tree.
The unit does not support a multi-session disc.
The unit cannot play MP3 tracks recorded using a packet
writing utility.
The unit can play MP3 tracks having a file extension
".mp3".
If you play a non-MP3 track that has the ".mp3" file
extension, you may hear some noise.
Notes on display indications during play
Up to 8 characters are displayed for the title of an album
or a track. If ID3TAG version 1.X was applied to record
additional informations for an MP3 track, up to 10
characters showing track title is displayed. However, if
informations of ID3TAG version 2.X are also recorded in
the same MP3 track, the track title of ID3TAG is not
displayed. Characters other than uppercase letters ("A" to
"Z") and numerals ("0" to "9") may not be displayed
correctly.
The elapsed playing time may not be displayed correctly
for MP3 tracks.

Adjustments
Antennas
Keep antennas away from metallic objects, electrical
equipment and cords.
FM antenna: Extend fully and position for the best reception.
If receiving condition is poor, connect optional outdoor
antenna to FM 75 terminal. Be sure to connect the shield
braid of the antenna to the 2 terminal.
MW antenna: Rotate to find best reception.
SW antenna: Extend horizontally at a high position.
For better SW reception
It is recommended that an SW outdoor antenna be extended
outside. In this case, be sure to connect the 2 SW terminal
to the ground with a ground wire (not supplied) to protect
against lightning.
DANGER
