REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television recep­tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most devices are recommended be placed on a ded­icated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that elec­tronic device and has no additional outlets or branch cir­cuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual
to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,
loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric
shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appli­ance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterio­ration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and
have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a
door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appli­ance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains
cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the
plug is easily accessible.

About MP3/WMA

About MP3/WMA

MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using
the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.
We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension
“MP3 files”.

• The unit cannot read an MP3 file that does not
have an “.mp3” file extension.

WMA

• A WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression
technology.

• WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the
audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this unit is limited
as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency/8 - 48kHz

2. Bit rate/8 - 320kbps

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using software

which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for
example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to
playback MP3 files. We recommend that you
use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an
ISO9660 file system.

5. File names should be named using 30 letters

or less and must incorporate “.mp3” exten­sion
e.g. “********.MP3”.

6. Even if the total number of files on the disc

is more than 1000, it will only be shown up
to 999.

About MULTI SESSION

- This function recognizes the multi session disc

according to a disc of CD-ROM type.

ex) If there are MP3 files in the first session, the

MP3 file in the first session is only played.
If there are only MP3 files in the whole ses­sion, all of the MP3 files in the session are
played.
If there is Audio CD in the first session, only
the Audio CD in the first session is played.
