For U.S.A.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.

To clean the disc:

• Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.

Cleaning the System

• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a
dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:

– DO NOT wipe it hard.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides

to it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

for a long time.

Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device

(see page 4)

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

• For MP3/WMA playback...

– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used

for MP3/WMA operations.
– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than

regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/

file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be

skipped. This result from their recording processes and

conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the

letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This

System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than

64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from

the one you have intended while recording. If a folder

does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

• Do not use the following USB devices...
– Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.
– Equipped with special functions such as data security

functions.
– Divided by 2 or more partitions.

• For the USB mass storage class device playback...
– When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also

refer to its manual.
– Connect one USB mass storage class device to the System

at a time. Do not use a USB hub.
– This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.
– You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage

class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).
– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.
– This System may not play back some USB mass storage

class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights

Management).

• This System can recognize up to 255 groups in a disc. The

total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that can be
recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/WMA).

• This System can recognize up to 99 groups and 999 tracks

(with a maximum number of 255 tracks in a group) in a USB
mass storage class device.
