About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• This 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 for 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 “Basic and Common Operations” on pages 8 and 9.

•The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. In addition, we put information here about conditions which will prevent getting the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you need to know.

Power sources

•When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting to heat 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, then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the AC power cord 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.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

Precautions

Playing Back Discs

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

Continued

English

Playing Back the Entire Disc—Normal Play

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CDReWritable) can be played only if they are already “finalized.”

• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CDRWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes they may not play depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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 because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

Notes for MP3 files

•The player can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case. The file name needs to be up to 20 characters.

•This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions (including the root folder): – up to 512 folders and files. – up to 8th layers.

• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.

• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.
