General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) and MP3/WMA formats.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit:

– Discs are dirty or scratched. – Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside

the unit. – The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. – The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method. – There are improper recording conditions (missing data,

etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped,

etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files

– MP3 files encoded in: MP3i and MP3 PRO format, in an

inappropriate format, layer 1/2.

– WMA files: encoded in lossless, professional, and voice
