BASIC INTRODUCTION TO MP3
MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format. The player plays MP3 files which have been written onto a CD disc.
The first thing you will need is an
IBM compatible PC computer (at least Pentium class) or an apple computer (at least G3 class) with lots of RAM and a CD-R or CD-RW writer. Then you will need some software. (Either it is in your new computer already or you may have to buy this from MusicMatch or a similar company. You may go to the Website www.musicmatch.com or www.nero.com.)
To play MP3 files on this player, you
will need to make (record) a disc with these MP3 files on them.
We recommend you get some books
or information from the internet to help you learn this exciting new way to store & play hundreds of songs in MP3 format. Also you may search the web for MP3 and you will immediately find a world of information and songs.
NOTE: Most audio CD players cannot
play MP3 files. This player can play both MP3 and normal music files. (It CDs that have normal audio files on the same CD.)
To download an MP3 file (song) from a website (like www.mp3.com), go to http://www.mp3.com and you can find a search link at the top of the homepage that allows you to search for MP3 files. Input a key word and click on that link and you will find many songs by many new artists. To download an MP3 file, click on software, then get MP3 link or newer software, register and click on download. We recommend you make a new folder for MP3 files.
WILL NOT BOTH MP3
play
and
You will also need blank CDs that
are recordable, these are called CD-R or CD-RW (CD-R discs can be recorded on only once, CD-RW can be erased and rewritten but are much more expensive).
Successful recording of a CD needs
an uninterrupted stream of high speed data. For best results, limit or close your other programs on the computer while recording to prevent buffer underruns or empty spots on the disc.
(NOTE: You can also learn all about MP3 at the mp3.com site)
You can play MP3 songs on most
computers of today or you can highlight them for downloading & burning (recording) them onto a CD later. Note this player will play MP3 songs which end in the extension .MP3 (dot MP3). You can select how to save a file, select .MP3 as the correct extension on your computer.
If you want to convert your existing
records or tapes to MP3 discs, you will need to record them using a sound card with appropriate jacks. You will also need software such as MusicMatch or RealJukebox and a set of audio cables to connect your tape player to your sound card.
If you want to record your favorite
music CDs as an MP3, you need to convert them into MP3 format. Ripping is the term used for converting audio files into MP3 format.
MP3 opens a whole new world of
music to you. Learn about this exciting new format and enjoy.

ABOUT MP3
WHAT IS THE MP3?
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing a sound sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.

You can only play MP3 files recorded by following requirements.

Maximum directory steps: 8 Usable characters for a file/folder name: A - Z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore) Maximum number of characters for a file name: 64 and a 3-character extension code
When naming. be sure to add the file extension mp3 to the file name. If you put the extension mp3 to a file other than an MP3 file, the player cannot recognize the file properly. The file name does not correspond to the ID tag.
Maximum number of folders: 511 Maximum number of files: 511
SETTINGS FOR COMPRESSION SOFTWARE AND WRITING SOFTWARE
To compress a source for an MP3
file, we recommend setting the transfer bit rate of the compression software to 44.1 kHz, 128kbps, and Constant Bit Rate. Please check the maximum
capacity of your CD-R / CD-RW as they come in a different capacity ranges. To record at one time up to the
maximum capacity on media that has nothing recorded it, set to Disc at Once.
NOTES FOR SAVING FILES ON THE MEDIA
When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the files on that disc. If there are many folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
DO NOT
record any other files other than MP3 files on the CD. If you record non­mp3 files onto the CD, the player may not operate properly. Please record

PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
Do not open the cabinet. As the laser
beam used in the DISC player section may be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an
inclined or unstable place. Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must not be covered for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for
the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnets.
On Power Sources
For battery operation, use 6 size
D batteries. We recommend alkaline batteries for longer life.
When the batteries will not be used
for a few weeks or more, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from
a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the DISC player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the DISC and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
This player has an anti-skip feature,
small bumps will not stop the music. However this set must play a few minutes for the anti-skip feature to become active.
17
IB-CD208(LC)-WM-E-060403
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the lens
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If the lens is very dirty, the player may not work. We suggest using a special cleaning disk (not included) available in most music and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you do not have one, you may use a cotton swab very slightly dampened with alcohol to clean the lens.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean.
Cleaning the Discs
Fingerprints should be carefully
wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge.
Handling Discs
Dirty, scratched or warped discs
may cause skipping or noise. Handle the disc only by the edges.
To keep clean, do not touch its surface.
Discs should be stored in their cases
after use to avoid scratches. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can warp the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car during summer time).
Do not stick or write anything on the
music side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.
To remove the Disc
Open the CD DOOR by lifting the CD DOOR, hold the disc by the edge while
slightly pressing on the center spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the edge to release and remove.
Never use thinner, benzine, record
cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface.
NOTE
Always press the STOP button and wait for the disc to stop rotating before opening the CD DOOR to remove the disc.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Remedy
Insert the AC plug into a wall outlet securely.
The power is not on.
General
There is no sound.
Make sure the batteries are installed
correctly and they are fresh.
Make sure the FUNCTION switch is at
the right position as you want. Adjust the volume.
Unplug the headphones when listening

The sound is weak or has poor quality.
Radio
Insert a CD or an MP3 disc with the label
side up. Make sure that the CD compartment is
closed. Clean the disc.
Take out the disc and leave the CD DOOR
open for about an hour to dry moisture condensation. Make sure the FUNCTION switch is at the
MP3/CD position. Clean the discs, or replace them if the discs
are badly damaged. Place the player in a location with less
vibration. Check if the batteries are fresh.
Your MP3 disc may not be supported on
this player. This player will play most standard MP3 discs.
It is normal since the radio uses less power
than the CD/MP3 player.
Re-burn a new MP3 disc.
Replace all the batteries with new ones if
they are weak. Bring the set near a window, or rotate the
set for better AM reception; or draw out the FM antenna for better FM reception.
