This unit supports CD-R/RW discs recorded with MP3



or JPG files, and in VCD format. MP3 files must be named with the extension “.MP3”



JPG files must be named with the extension “.JPG”





rather than “progressive” encoding. Discs created with personal computers may have

JPG

Caring for Optical Discs

Hold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the



central hole. Never touch the signal surface. Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may



cause signal loss. Use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from



the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.

Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be



careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface. To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed,



they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.

Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio



quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may damage the disc surface.
