BEFORE USING

Do not place objects on top

• Refrain from placing any objects on top of the player.

Cautions on handling power cord

•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

•When disconnecting the power cord, always make sure that you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or bending the cord can damage it and/or cause electric shocks or a fire.

•Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug before leaving home.

Do not attempt repairs yourself

•Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can cause malfunctioning.

•Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise are authorized to repair the pick-up and parts inside the player.

Precautions

•In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This CD player uses an optical lens, so the condensation may form in the following cases.

-In a room immediately after the heating has been turned on

-In a room where the humidity level is high

-When the player has been suddenly brought from a cold location into a warm room

Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be read and the player is prevented from operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.

•This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV set.

•Compact discs have much less noise than analog records and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio components.

•This player is designed to play music CDs only. It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).

Cautions on handling batteries

Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte leakage, rupturing, corrosion, etc.

Bear in mind the following points when using batteries.

•Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period (a month or more).

•Do not use an old battery together with a new one.

•Insert the batteries while ensuring that their and poles are properly aligned with the corresponding markings on

the remote control unit.

•Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different types of batteries together.

•If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the battery compartment, and then insert new batteries.

3. FEATURES

ENGLISH

•Play of unfinalized CD-R and CD-RW discs supported

The PMD325 can play even partially once-written CD-R and CD-RW discs that could not be played by conventional CD players. Since unfinalized discs which have some recording time left can be played, even partially edited discs can be played.

•MP3 play and ID3 tag display supported

The PMD325 supports not only the play of CD-R and CDRW discs recorded with MP3 files but also the ID3 tags which are the text information of MP3 files so that text giving the track information or artists’ names can be displayed. (Japanese characters cannot be displayed.)

•CD-TEXT displays supported

•Pitch control function

The PMD325 comes with a pitch control function that enables the play speed (pitch) to be varied in a -12% to +12% range. This is useful when practicing to play a musical instrument.

•Quick replay function

By means of a single-touch action, the quick replay function returns play to a position, which is a number of seconds (setting range: 1 to 30 seconds) that has been set, before the position of the track now playing. This enables you to return and listen again to the section a little before the position where the track is now playing.

•End monitor function

By means of a single-touch action, the end monitor function plays the end part of the track now playing for the duration (setting range: 1 to 30 seconds) which has been set. This makes it easy to check the end part of the track which is now being played.

•Auto cue function

This enables play to start automatically from the position where the sound begins.

•Manual cue function

By setting the play start position in advance, play can always be started at the preset position.

•End warning function

When the end of the track being played is approached, the end warning indicator starts flashing to signal that the end of the track now playing is near.

•Wide range of play modes

Among the many play modes featured by the PMD325 are single play (STOP, NEXT, RECUE), programmed play, repeat play (ALL, 1-track, A-B) and auto pause.

•External control interfaces

The PMD325 features RS-232C, parallel control I/O and remote I/O as external control interfaces.

•Timer play supported

•CS4396 high-performance D/A converter (made by Cirrus Logic)

High-linearity play is achieved by oversampling the PCM signals to 128fs inside the D/A converter and combining dynamic element matching (DEM) with multi-element switched capacitors.

•Digital and analog areas configured separately

The digital area consisting of the servo, decoder and microcomputer circuitry is mounted en bloc on the CD mechanism PCB away from the analog (audio circuitry) area.

This keeps out the pulsive noise generated from the digital area and yield a pure sound reproduction.
