pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

•Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try
to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on storing discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.

• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Dusty or humid places

3. Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.

Cleaning discs

• If there are fingerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using
the disc. If not the sound quality could be reduced and the sound
may be broken.

• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.

Gently wipe the disc from the

Connections

NOTE:

• Do not plug in the power supply cord until all connections have been completed.

• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

• Do not bundle power supply cords together with speaker cables. Doing so could result in humming
or noise.

• Making connections with the power turned on could result in noise or damage the speakers.

• Bunching the power supply cords and connection cables together could result in humming or noise.

• Connect all the connection cables between the different components firmly. The system may not
operate properly if the connections are incomplete.

• Be sure to disconnect the power supply cords when changing the connections. Changing the
connections while the system is operating could result in malfunction.

Recommended system layout

To ensure performance and safety, it is recommended to arrange the components as shown below when
connecting to models in the F102 series.

NOTE:

• Arrange in such a way that the receiver’s ventilation holes are not obstructed so that the heat can
dissipate.

• Do not place other components directly on top of the receiver.

•To ensure safety, do not make stacks of more than three components.

Playing MP3 or WMA (Windows Media®Audio) files

Before playing MP3 or WMA files

There are many music distribution sites on the Internet allowing you to download music files in MP3 or WMA format. The music (files)
downloaded from such sites can be stored on CD-R or CD-RW discs and played on the DCD-F102.

“Windows Media” and “Windows” are registered trademarks or trademarks in the United States and other countries of the
Microsoft Corporation of the United States.

According to copyright laws, recordings you have made should only be used for your personal enjoyment and must not be used
in other ways without the consent of the copyright holder.

¢ Order in which the folders are played

If there are multiple folders containing MP3 or WMA files, the DCD-F102 automatically assigns the folders numbers when reading the disc.
The folders switch according to the numbers they have been assigned. If there are no playable files in a folder, that folder is ignored.

¢ Order in which files are played

The order in which the files are played depends on the folder structure attributed when the disc was created and other data recorded on
the disc when the files were recorded. With the folder structure shown in the following example, the files are played in numerical order (1,
2, 3 …).

The data stored on the disc depends on the writing software. Because of this, the files may not play in the desired order.

¢ Setting the folders and files to be played

(folder mode/file mode)

Use [FOLDER MODE] to switch between the modes.

•

Folder mode

The “FLD” indicator lights.
Only the selected folder is played.

Example: When folder r is selected

Files 4, 5 and 6 are played.
Folder t is treated as a separate folder, so files 7 and 8
are not played.

• Disc mode (folder mode: OFF)

The “FLD” indicator turns off.
All the files in all the folders from the selected folder or file on are
played.

Example: When file 3 in folder e is selected

All the files from file 3 on are played.

NOTE:

• The DCD-F102 is compatible with “MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3”
standards (sampling frequency of 44.1 and 48 kHz). It is not
compatible with “MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio
Layer-3”, MP1 or MP2 standards.

•Programmed playback is not possible with discs containing files
recorded in MP3 or WMA format.

• The signals are output with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• When writing MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, set the writing
software’s format to “ISO9660 Level 1”. The files may not play
properly if they are recorded in other formats. Also note that with
some writing software it is not possible to record in ISO9660
format. If so, use a different program allowing you to record in
ISO9660 format.

•With MP3 files, the higher the bit rate, the better the sound
quality. The compatible bit rate range is 32 to 320 kbps for MP3
files, 64 to 160 kbps for WMA files. We recommend using MP3
files with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater on the DCD-F102.

• Be sure to add the extensions “.MP3” or “.WMA” to MP3 or
WMA files, respectively. Files with extensions other than
“.MP3” or “.WMA” or files without extensions cannot be
played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by
giving the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting up a
maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters and storing the files on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.)

• The DCD-F102 is not compatible with packet write software or
playlists.

• Up to 32 characters of folder and file names can be displayed.

• The DCD-F102 is compatible with MP3 ID3-Tag versions 1.x and

2.x.

• The time may not be displayed properly when searching or
pausing during variable bit rate playback.

• The time display cannot be switched using [TIME/DISPLAY].

• For files in which the title name and artist name data are stored,
the title name or artist name can be displayed in the play or pause
mode by pressing [TIME/DISPLAY].

• Multisession and CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
completely written can be played, but we recommend using
discs closed after a maximum of 10 sessions or discs that have
been completed.

• The DCD-F102 is compatible with the titles, artists and albums of
WMA file meta tags.

• The maximum number of files and folders playable is 512 (total
of the number of folders and files). The maximum number of
folders is 256.

• Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played. (“Not
