Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.

• For DVD-VR playback... – This unit cannot play back DVD-VR disc with CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media). – When making a disc, use UDF-Bridge format. – For details about DVD-VR format and playlist, refer to

the manual of the recording equipment. – You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, and

Random Play.

• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback... – MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout

time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and

will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA/JPEG discs, use ISO 9660

Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

– This system can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files with

the extension code <.mp3>, <.wma> or <.jpg> (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.

(see page 3)

Compressed digital

(see pages 10 to 15)

Playing Back from the PC:
