This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.

• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3 disc,” a folder contains MP3 files “group,” and an MP3 file “track.”

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

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

• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CDReWritable) can be played only if they are already

“finalized.”

• This unit does not support “multi-session” discs.

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back 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 32 characters.

• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the following conditions:

– up to 640 MP3 files. – up to 99 folders (including the root folder). – up to 8th layers (including the root folder).

• 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.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

RDS/INFO

What is DAB?

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a radio which carries information in digital format enabling near CD-quality audio sound. Also DAB enables broadcasters to transmit additional data along with the audio.

DAB structure

DAB is broadcast as groups of data called “ensembles.” Each ensembles can contain a number of stations (services) and each station contains services.

Ensembles

(Primary) service

Secondary service

The unit can receive ensembles in frequency band III (174.928 – 239.200 MHz) and store their services in each ensemble. The number of ensemble you receive varies depending on your location. Band III is divided into 41 channels identified as 5A to 13F. Each channel can contain one ensemble. Channels allocated to the United Kingdom are in the range 11B to 12D.

Ensembles and stations have labels (names) which are used to identify them. Instead of memorizing a particular frequency to listen to a program you like, you can simply select a program by the station name.

About the display symbol

While tuning in to a station, the following symbols may appear by the side of the station names:

Initial Scanning

When you change the source to DAB for the first time, the unit performs the initial scanning to search for the available stations.

Press FM/AM/DAB repeatedly to select “DAB.”

Progress bar

When the progress bar reaches to the right side, the initial scanning finishes.

• Once the scanning is completed, all the available stations are listed by numerical, then alphabetical order and stored in the memory. The unit will tune in to the first listed station.

If you stop the scanning by pressing any button,

no station is listed. In this case, do the local or full scan (see page 19).

IMPORTANT:

• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

• You can only use type I tape for recording.

• DO NOT turn off the unit while playing back or recording a tape. The cassette deck or tapes may be damaged.

• DO NOT use type II and type IV tapes since the unit is not compatible with such tapes.

• The use of C-120 or longer tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans.
