• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and

stations are stored newly.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in

No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations

General

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

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16
and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.)

into the loading slot.

") discs (single CD)

Playing a disc

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

• This receiver 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 receiver because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

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

written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

(stain, scratch, warp, 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
damages to discs.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

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

• This receiver can show the names of albums,
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,

1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for
WMA files.

• This receiver can handle only one-byte
characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed.

• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files
meeting the conditions below:

– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)
24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)

Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name

• The maximum number of characters for file/
folder names vary among the disc format used
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or
<.wma>).

– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters
– Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters
– Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)

characters

* The parenthetic figure is the maximum

number of characters for file/folder names
in case the total number of files and folders
is 313 or more.

• This receiver can recognize the total of 512
files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.

• This receiver can play back the files recorded
in VBR (variable bit rate).

The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy

in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this difference
becomes noticeable.

• This receiver cannot play back the following
files:

– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3

PRO format.

– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated

format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded with lossless,

professional, and voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon

Windows Media
– WMA formatted files copy-protected with

DRM.

Audio.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “CD” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to prevent it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from

“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
receiver automatically changes the volume
level to “VOL 30.”
