Before using

• Remove two shipping screws.

At the bottom of the player there are
two red shipping screws for use when
the player is transported. Before using
the player, turn these screws
counterclockwise and remove them.
If the shipping screws are still in place

supply cord from the power outlet and remove the shipping screws.
Retain these screws as they will be needed when the player is
transported.
Before transporting the player, take out the discs, close the disc tray,
turn off the power after “0 000 00:00” is displayed and unplug the
power supply cord from the power outlet. Then install the shipping
screws by turning them clockwise. Be sure to fasten them securely.

• Handle the power supply cord carefully.

Do not damage or deform the power supply cord. If it is damaged or
deformed, it may cause electric shock or malfunction when used.
When disconnecting the power supply cord from the wall outlet,

Before playing MP3 or WMA (Windows Media

®

Audio) 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 this CD player.

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.

• 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 this CD player.

• 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

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.)
