Notes on playing MP3
This unit can play MP3(MPEG1, 2, 2.5 Audio Layer 3). Note,
however, that the MP3 recording media and formats acceptable are
limited. When writing MP3, pay attention to the following
restrictions.
Acceptable media
The MP3 recording media acceptable to this unit are CD-ROM, CD-R,
and CD-RW.
When using CD-RW, do full format not quick format to prevent
malfunction.
Acceptable medium formats
The following formats are available for the media used in this unit. The
maximum number of characters used for file name including the
delimiter (".") and three-character extension are indicated in
parentheses.
• ISO 9660 Level 1
• ISO 9660 Level 2
• Joliet
• Romeo
The media reproducible on this unit has the following limitations:
• Maximum number of directory levels: 8
• Maximum number of files per folder: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 50
MP3 written in the formats other than the above may not be
successfully played and their file names or folder names are not
properly displayed.
Settings for your MP3 encoder and CD writer
When you use your CD writer to record MP3 up to the maximum disc
capacity, disable additional writing. For recording on an empty disc up
to the maximum capacity at once, check Disc at Once.
Entering file and folder names
The unit recognizes and plays only those MP3 which have the MP3
extension (.MP3).
Writing files into a medium
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the unit checks all the
data on the medium. If the medium contains a lot of folders or nonMP3 files, therefore, it takes a long time until the unit starts playing
MP3.
In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the next MP3 file or
a Track Search or Album Search may not be performed smoothly.
Loading such a medium may produce loud noise to damage the speakers.
• Do no attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3 file with the
MP3 extension.
The unit mistakes non-MP3 files for MP3 data as long as they have
the MP3 extension.
• Do not attempt to play a medium containing non MP3.

MP3 playing order
When selected for play, Track Search, or for Folder Search, files and
folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD
writer.
Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may
not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able
to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play
sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.
For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is
subject to Track Search, or Folder Search as shown below.
When a Track Search is executed with file ¡$ being played ...
When Folder Search is selected with file ¡$ being played to move
from folder to folder ...
(Press the
6 button to stop the playback and then to carry out
Folder search.)

Handling Compact Discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or
warped can cause the sound to skip and
the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in
worsened sound quality. Take the
following precautions to prevent your CDs
from getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (the side
opposite the label) when holding it.
• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more
fragile than that on an ordinary music C D, and may
peel off if scratched. Fingerprints on a CD- R or CDRW are also more likely to cause skipping when the
disc is played. For these reasons, handle the disc
very carefully. Detailed handling instructions will
appear on the CD-R or CD-RW package: read this
information carefully before using the disc.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight (such as a car seat or the dashboard) or
other hot places.
A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a
music CD to damage from high temperatures and
humidity, and in some cases, may become
unusable if left in the car for long periods of time.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to
them for a while, and put them back in their cases.
Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their
cases or prop them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a
commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft
cotton cloth, starting from the center of the disc
and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with
conventional record cleaners, anti-static formulas,
or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time, check
that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter
of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs
stuck on them may not load properly or may skip
while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen
or a similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories
Do not use commercially available CD accessories
that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as
stabilizers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs,
since they can cause the unit to malfunction.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit
and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of
special shape CDs may cause the unit to
malfunction.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone
finalization processing cannot be played. (For more
information on finalization processing, refer to the
manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or
CD-R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on
the recording status, it may prove impossible to
play certain CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labeled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on
it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in
malfunction of the unit.
