General Information
1.Usually, you must “write” your own MP3 disc on your computer’s CD writer. Or,
you may buy pre-recorded MP3 discs from some “on line” sources.
2.When saving songs (audio files) onto your CD-R (or CD-RW), you must save
them as “.MP3” (DOT MP3) or “.WMA” (DOT WMA) files. Do not save them as
.DOC or .TXT, .PDF etc. when downloading, converting or saving files as MP3
or WMA files. Also, the files must be recorded in MP3 or WMA format.
3.Do not save TXT files as “.MP3” files because they will not play and they may
interfere with the set.
4.Do not attempt to combine normal CD audio tracks and MP3 tracks onto one CD
because the set will only recognize the audio tracks and play those, but you can
combine MP3 tracks & WMA tracks onto one CD.

Basic Introduction to MP3 and WMA
MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format. WMA is
the abbreviation for Windows Media Audio. WMA is another audio format, the
compression and the audio quality are better than MP3. The CD-2086 plays MP3 &
WMA files which have been recorded 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 recorder. 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. or www.mp3.com.etc.
• To play MP3 or WMA files on this player,
you will need to make (record) a disc
with your MP3 or WMA files (songs) on
them.
• We recommend you get some books
or information on the Web to help you
learn this way to store & play hundreds
of songs in MP3 or WMA format. Also
you maysearch the web for “MP3” or
“WMA” and you will immediately find a
world of information and songs.
NOTE: Most audio CD players can’t play
MP3 or WMA files, the CD-2086
can play MP3, WMA and normal
music files but not if they are mixed
on one 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 your MP3 files.
• 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.
• Pay for downloaded songs, illegal
copies of songs are not the correct
way to build your song library.
• You can play MP3 or WMA songs on most
new computers or you can highlight them
for downloading & “burning” (recording)
them onto a CD later. Note your CD-2086
will play MP3 or WMA songs which end in
the extension “.MP3” (dot MP3) or “.WMA”
(dot WMA). You can select how to save a
file, select .MP3 or .WMA as thecorrect
extension on your computer. Do not save
the file with other extensions like .txt)
• If you want to convert your existing
records or tapes to MP3 discs, you will
need to record them using a sound card.
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 MP3 or WMA files
from music CD’s, first “rip” (copy) the
music onto the hard disc. Ripping is
much faster than recording.
• To record a disc in MP3 or WMA, select
a settingin your computer or download
an MP3 or WMA creation plug in
programto enable recording discs in
MP3 or WMA format.
• Titles and song names can be viewed
by the text display of your CD-2086. But
in most cases above, you will need to
enter the names of the songs. Also, if
you put all songs in one album, it may
be difficult for you to locate a particular
song. We recommend several albums
on a single CD with each album
containing multiple songs. CDDB
(www.cddb.com) is a database which
can help you name songs and artists
and has useful information on latest
songs and artists.
• Also don’t forget your computer savvy
friends. Sometimes a friend can show
you how to do something easily and
quickly, in a few minutes which could
take you an hour of reading to learn.

ABOUT “MP3”
WHAT IS MP3?
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a
standard technology and format for
compressing a sound sequence or song.
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.

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/WMA files on the disc,
it may take a long time for play to begin or
for the next MP3/WMA file to start play.
Do not save unnecessary folders or files
other than MP3 or WMA ones in the disc to
be used for MP3 listening.
DO NOT
record any other files other than
MP3 or WMA files on the CD disc. If you
record non-mp3 files onto the CD disc, the
player may not operate properly. Please
record only MP3 or WMA files onto the CD
disc.
NOTE: CD-Rs or CD-RWs playback

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
beforeoperating 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 8 size “ C”
•
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,
then lift it from the edge to release and
remove.
NOTE
Always press the STOP button and wait
for the disc to stop rotating before
opening the CD DOOR to remove the
disc.
Never use thinner, benzine, record
•
cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact
disc. Such chemicals can damage its
plastic surface.
