On heat buildup
•Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
•Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.
If you continuously use this unit at a loud volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do no touch the cabinet.
On operation
•If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
•When you move the system, take out any discs.
Notes on discs

•CD-R/RW discs which are not finalized at the end of recording cannot be played back.
•Do not attach adhesive label, etc. to either side of a CD-R/ RW disc, as doing so may cause malfunction.
•Do not load an unrecorded CD-R/RW disc. The disc may be damaged.
•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
•DVD, SACD, CD-ROM and VCD cannot be played on this unit.

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: 300 (including number of albums)
- number of albums: 300
•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 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 32 characters are displayed for the title of an album or a track. If ID3TAG version 1.X was applied to record additional information for an MP3 track, up to 30 characters showing track title is displayed. However, this unit does not support ID3TAG version 2.X. 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.
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.
Notes on creating MP3 discs
•When converting audio data to MP3 The unit supports MP3 files with a sampling frequency from 8 kHz to 48 kHz. The assured bit rate range for sound quality on the unit is 8 kbps to 320 kbps.
•When creating MP3 discs Do not store more than 300 albums in a disc. Also, keep the total number of albums and tracks 300 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”.)

REFERENCE
Care and maintenance
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimise the performance of your unit.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth. If the unit surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinner.
To clean the tape heads
Dirty tape heads cause sound deterioration. After every 10 hours of use, clean the tape heads by using a dry-type or wet­type head-cleaning cassette, sold separately. Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.
En
To demagnetise the tape heads
Use a sold demagnetising cassette after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Refer to the instructions of the demagnetising cassette.
Care of CDs
When a CD becomes dirty, wipe it from the centre out with a cleaning cloth. However, do not use solvents. After playing a CD, store it in its case. Do not expose a CD to direct sunlight or heat sources.
Care of tapes
Store tapes in their cases after use. Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
