ABOUT DISCS

Playable discs

Audio CD (CD-DA)

CD-R/CD-RW

Finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in the CD-DA format,
MP3 format can be played with
the unit.

* Finalize is the process to make a CD-R/CD-RW

playable for players (not recorders)

* Some discs may not be able to be played

depending on condition of the discs and
recording software.

Structure of audio CD

Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
You can play them in conventional style through a
stereo system, using the keys on the remote
control and/or front panel.

About playing copy-controlled CDs

Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to
official CD standards. They are special discs and
may not play on the CR401.

Discs made on personal computers

Discs made on personal computers, including
those of a compatible format, may not work
properly in the CR401 because of incorrect
settings in the disc burning software. Check the
manual supplied with your disc burning software
for additional compatibility information.

2

MP3 compatibility

• MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2,
Joliet compliant. Supported formats: Mode 1,
Mode 2.

• Folders can be up to eight levels deep.
MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer

•

3 format with a sampling rate of between 16 kHz
and 48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 32 kbps and
320 kbps (128 kbps or 192 kbps recommended).
Incompatible files cannot be played.

• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended,
however, variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files
between 8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported
(Playing times may display incor-rectly).

• MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” file
name extension. MP3 files without the proper
extension will not be recognized. To prevent
noise and malfunction, do not use these
extensions for other types of files.

• The CR401 supports up to 500 MP3 files and up
to 200 folders per disc. (In this case, Disc and
File names contain 30 characters and Folder
names contain 20 characters.) Files and folders
in excess of this cannot be played. Note that if
the file and folder structure is very complicated,
the CR401 may not be able to read or play all of
the MP3 files on the disc. If the disc, folder or file
names contain many characters, the CR401
may not support 500 MP3 files.

• Disc names may contain up to 30 characters.
File and folder names may contain up to 60
characters.

• The maximum time that can be displayed for a
single track is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

• The remaining time cannot be displayed when
playing MP3 files.

Multisession discs are supported, however,

•

some multisession discs may take a long time to
load and some may not load at all. When burning
CDs we recommend that you use a single
session (disc-at-once), and select “Disc Close.”

• The ID3 tag version 1.0 is supported.

Notes

• With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that
contain many files and folders, and files other
than MP3s, it may take a long time to read the
disc. We recommend that you include only MP3
files on your discs, use about 20 folders, and
limit folder nesting to three levels deep.

• In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as
tracks.

7

Notes about the discs

* Handle the discs carefully so as not to

scratch their surfaces.

* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all

times.

When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be
sure to use the special cleaner and wipe the
surfaces in the directions shown in the figure
below.

• Wipe the surface
radially from the
center.

* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to

the label surfaces of the discs.

When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
CD label with paste protruding from the edge or
when a disc still bears traces of sticky tape or
adhesive labels, do not attempt to play it. If
such a disc is played on the CD player, you may
find that you cannot remove it or that some other
kind of malfunctioning may occur.

* Do not use discs which come in special

shapes.

Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or
octagonal discs or discs with any other special
shapes. You may find that you cannot remove
them or that some other kind of malfunctioning
may occur in the player.

• Do not wipe the
surface in the
circumferential
direction.

* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards

such as those with the “CD logo” or “ ”
mark on their disc label surfaces.

No guarantees are made for playback if discs
which do not satisfy the appropriate CD
standards are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their
sound quality even if it is possible to play such
discs.

* To protect your discs from damage, avoid

placing them in the following locations.

• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight
or where they will be close to a heater or other
heat-radiating appliance

• Where the humidity level is high or it is very
dusty

• Near a window or other such location where
they may be exposed to rain

* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in

their cases after use.

and insert new batteries.

Notes

• It may be difficult to operate the remote control
unit if the remote sensor is exposed to direct
sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Do not press buttons on the main unit and
remote control unit simultaneously. Doing so
may result in malfunction.

• Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type
noise nearby may result in malfunction, so keep

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

FRONT SPEAKER

RIGHT LEFT

POWERED

SUBWOOFER

Before you connect your speakers, read the
following:

• Disconnect the mains cord from the wall outlet.

• Read the instructions supplied with your

speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In
other words, connect positive ª terminals only
to positive ª terminals, and negative ·
terminals only to negative · terminals. If you
get them the wrong way around, the sound will
be out of phase and will sound odd.

• Only use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms
or higher. If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume
levels for a long period of time, the built-in
protection circuit may be activated.

• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker wires
may affect the sound quality and should be
avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and negative
connections. Doing so may damage the CR401.

7

Connecting a subwoofer

Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect
a powered subwoofer (the power amplifier is built
in ). If your subwoofer is a passive type (the power
amplifier is not built in), connect a monaural power
amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and
connect the subwoofer to the amplifier.

7

Connecting Speaker Wire

1. Strip away approx. 10

mm (3/8 inch) of wire
insulation.

10 mm (3/8 inch)

2. Twist the

bared wire
ends tight, to
prevent short
circuits.

3. Push the terminal lever in

the direction of the arrow,
and keep this condition.

ENGLISH

• Don’ t connect more than one wire to each
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
CR401.

• If you want to connect a single speaker instead

4. Insert the bare part of the

wire into the hole in the
side of each terminal.

of a pair, connect it to either the left or right
speaker terminals, not both.

5. Put the terminal lever

back, and make sure it is
fastened securely by
pulling the wire lightly.

Abnormal Behavior:

The CR401 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the
unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five
seconds, and then plug it back in again.
