8 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

About Compact Discs

COnly discs with the mark can be played on the RCD-M33.

Use compact discs that include the C mark.

CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs etc.) cannot be played on this set. Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

•Removing discs from their cases

As shown on the diagram, grasp the outer edge of the disc with your fingers, insert a finger in the center hole, press gently, then lift the disc out of the case.

•Loading discs in the disc tray

Be sure to load the disc with the labelled side facing up. (Compact discs only play on one side.) For 8 cm CDs, set the disc in the sunken section in the center of the tray.

NOTES:

•The disc tray opens when the 5 (open/close) button is pressed once and closes when it is pressed again.

•When the disc tray is closed, the disc turns automatically for several seconds, then the total number of tracks and total playing time of that disc appear on the display.

•The disc tray can also be closed by pressing the 1/ 3 (play /pause) button, in which case playback automatically starts from the first track on the disc (or if tracks are programmed, from the first programmed track).

Handling the Disc Tray:

•Do not turn off the power, stop the disc tray by hand or pull on it when it is moving. Doing so may damage it.

If the headphones’ cord or some other object accidentally gets caught in the disc tray while it is closing and the disc tray stops, press the 5 (open/close) button again to open the tray and remove the obstacle.

Do not set objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may damage it.

Cleaning Discs

	Dust, fingerprints or spit on the disc will result in
	noise or skipping. If the disc is dirty or if the CD
	receiver does not operate properly, use the
	following procedure to clean the disc:
	• Hold the disc with the signal surface (the side
	opposite the labelled side) facing up, as shown
	in the diagram.
	• Wipe the disc gently from the center towards	NOTES:

12 PLAYING MP3/WMA

Listening to Recorded MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD/CD-R/CD-RW

There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3/WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio compression format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on the RCD-M33.

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

•Uses of recordings you have made other than for your personal enjoyment are not permitted under the Copyright Law without permission of the copyright holder.

About the folder playing order

If files in MP3 and/or WMA format are stored in multiple folders, the folder numbers are set automatically when the disc is loaded. When the FOLDER +/ – buttons are pressed, the folders switch according to the numbers set at this time. Folders not including any playback files are skipped, and the next folder is selected.

Example :

How the folder numbers are set for a disc containing MP3/WMA files in the folder structure shown below

q The ROOT folder is set as Folder1.

wFor the folders in the ROOT folder (FolderA and FolderB), the folder that comes first in the sequence information* stored on the disc is set as Folder2.

eFor the folders in the FolderA (FolderC and FolderD), the folder that comes first in the sequence information* stored on the disc is set as Folder3.

r FolderC does not contain any other folders, so FolderD is set as Folder4. t FolderE in FolderD is set as Folder5.

y FolderB in the ROOT folder is set as Folder6.

*The folder and file sequence information stored on the disc depends on the writing application used. For this reason the actual playback order may not be as expected.

The folder mode can be turned on (folder mode) and off (disc mode) using the FOLDER MODE button. The files that are played differ according to whether the folder or disc mode is set.

When the disc mode is set:

All the files in all the folders after the selected folder and file are played.

When File3 in FolderC is selected, all the files after File3 are played.

When the folder mode is set:

All the files in the selected folder are played.

When FolderD is selected, File4, File5 and File6 are played. FolderE inside FolderD is treated as a different folder, so File7 and File8 are not played.
