How to forcibly eject a disc

• Be careful not to drop the disc when it ejects.

• If this does not work, reset your unit.

How to use the M MODE button

If you press M MODE, the unit goes into functions mode, then the number buttons and 5/∞ buttons will work as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural)

button.

To use these buttons for their original functions, press M MODE again.

• Waiting for about 5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons will automatically cancels the functions mode.

Caution on volume setting:

Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

General

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

• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.

• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

• This unit can only play back files of the same type as those which are detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

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

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

– 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.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: – Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck

to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
