About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons on the remote control.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control and
on the unit for the same operations if they have the
same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned
otherwise.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
to 11.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
The illustrations used in this manual are of UX-L46V
unless mentioned otherwise.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

Disc Introduction
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• CD (Audio CD)
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-Rewritable)
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)
Continued use of irregular shape CDs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the unit’s disc tray closed when not in use.
English
How are MP3 files recorded and played back?
MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders or
directories, in PC terminology.
During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged
similarly to the tracks and folders/directories of computer
data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and
group can be linked to the root.
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth
of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight
(inclusive of the root).
Playback order, track search order, and group search order of
the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the
writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order
may be different from the one you have intended while
recording the groups and the tracks.
What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of
audio data will consume. The unit uses kbps (1,000 bits per
second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit
rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is
128 kbps.
MP3 disc structure
On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.
Files are grouped into a directory (or folder). Directories can
also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory
layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?” ).
This unit manages files and directories as “tracks” and
“groups.” This unit can recognize up to 255 tracks, up to 64
groups per disc. The unit ignores those exceeding the
maximum numbers and cannot play them back.
The illustration shows an ordinary example of how MP3
tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are
played back and how they are searched for on this unit.
• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks (
) indicate
the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks.
Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded
order.
• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order
and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally
this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the
recorded order.
The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since
they do not include any MP3 tracks.

About MP3 discs
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.
(It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as
the disc format.
• This unit does not support multisession recording.
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions—
“.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• Files other than MP3 are ignored.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.

English
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”
• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format (however,
they may not be played back depending on their
characteristics or recording conditions).
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused
by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular CDs.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually
listening to without affecting the recording level.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs
on the back to protect from
unexpected erasure or rerecording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks
become dirty, the following will occur:
