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 CDs 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.
PLAYABLE MP3 FILES ON
THIS PLAYER
You can only play MP3 files recorded
by following requirements.

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

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.

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.
