What is HD RadioTM?

This unit is equipped with an HD Radio receiver.
HD Radio can deliver high-quality digital
sound—AM digital will have FM-like sound
quality (in stereo) and FM digital will have CD­like sound quality—with static-free and clear
reception. Furthermore, stations can offer text
and data, such as artist names and song titles.

• HD Radio receivers can also receive
conventional analog broadcasts.

• Many HD Radio stations also offer more
than one channel of programming. This
service is called multicasting.

• To find HD Radio stations in your area,
please visit www.hdradio.com <http://www.
hdradio.com/>.

Playing a disc

• While fast-forwarding or reversing 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 play back only files of the same
type which are first detected 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 occurs on the lens

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

written with “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 protective seal

stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly

printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or

high humidities may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.

conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
