• Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can cause malfunctioning.

• Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise are authorized to repair the pick-up and parts inside the player.

Precautions

Cautions on handling batteries

Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte leakage, rupturing, corrosion, etc.

Bear in mind the following points when using batteries.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period (a month or more).

• Do not use an old battery together with a new one.

• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their

are properly aligned with the corresponding markings on the remote control unit.

• Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different types of batteries together.

• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the battery compartment, and then insert new batteries.

and poles

• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This CD player uses an optical lens, so the condensation may form in the following cases.

- In a room immediately after the heating has been turned

- In a room where the humidity level is high

- When the player has been suddenly brought from a cold

location into a warm room

Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be read and the player is prevented from operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.

• This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV set.

• Compact discs have much less noise than analog records and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio components.

• This player is designed to play music CDs only. It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).

3. FEATURES

• Play of unfinalized CD-R and CD-RW discs

supported

The PMD325 can play even partially once-written CD-R and CD-RW discs that could not be played by conventional CD players. Since unfinalized discs which have some

ENGLISH

recording time left can be played, even partially edited discs can be played.

• MP3 play and ID3 tag display supported

The PMD325 supports not only the play of CD-R and CDRW discs recorded with MP3 files but also the ID3 tags which are the text information of MP3 files so that text giving the track information or artists’ names can be displayed. (Japanese characters cannot be displayed.)

• CD-TEXT displays supported

• Pitch control function

The PMD325 comes with a pitch control function that enables the play speed (pitch) to be varied in a -12% to +12% range. This is useful when practicing to play a musical instrument.

• Quick replay function

By means of a single-touch action, the quick replay function returns play to a position, which is a number of seconds (setting range: 1 to 30 seconds) that has been set, before the position of the track now playing. This enables you to return and listen again to the section a little before the position where the track is now playing.

• End monitor function

By means of a single-touch action, the end monitor function plays the end part of the track now playing for the duration (setting range: 1 to 30 seconds) which has been set. This makes it easy to check the end part of the track which is now being played.

• Manual cue function

By setting the play start position in advance, play can always be started at the preset position.

• End warning function

When the end of the track being played is approached, the end warning indicator starts flashing to signal that the end of the track now playing is near.

• Wide range of play modes

Among the many play modes featured by the PMD325 are single play (STOP, NEXT, RECUE), programmed play, repeat play (ALL, 1-track, A-B) and auto pause.

• External control interfaces

The PMD325 features RS-232C, parallel control I/O and remote I/O as external control interfaces.

• Timer play supported

• CS4396 high-performance D/A converter (made

by Cirrus Logic)

High-linearity play is achieved by oversampling the PCM signals to 128fs inside the D/A converter and combining dynamic element matching (DEM) with multi-element switched capacitors.

• Digital and analog areas configured separately

The digital area consisting of the servo, decoder and microcomputer circuitry is mounted en bloc on the CD mechanism PCB away from the analog (audio circuitry) area. This keeps out the pulsive noise generated from the digital area and yield a pure sound reproduction.

• Auto cue function

This enables play to start automatically from the position where the sound begins.

4. CONNECTIONS

This CD player is connected to an amplifier, CD recorder and other components for use. To ensure that the components are connected properly, refer to the instruction manuals that come with the components to be connected. Before connecting the components, be absolutely sure to turn off their power.

CD-TEXT

“CD-TEXT” refers to a new kind of music disc which differs from a conventional music disc in that album titles, track titles and other text information are recorded on it. CDs with the following logos support this function.

CD TEXT

The text information is recorded on those parts which were not used by conventional music CDs. This means that discs with recorded CD-TEXT can be played in the same way as in the past on existing CD players but the text information can be viewed only when they are played on a player that supports CD-TEXT. This player automatically identifies whether a disc supports CD-TEXT, and it displays the information on the display.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

CR-R/CD-RW disc play

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R (recordable) discs, this player can also play CD-RW (rewritable) discs. It also supports the unfinalized discs that cannot be played by regular CD players.

• Playing unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs

CD players normally play only those discs on which the TOC information (*) has been recorded. This means that in order for a CD player to play a CD-R/CD-RW disc with music recordings, the disc had to be “finalized” by writing the TOC information onto it. Discs for which this finalizing job has not been done are called unfinalized discs, and this player is designed to support the play of these unfinalized discs as well. Consequently, even CD-R/CD-RW discs on which more material is to be recorded can be enjoyed without further ado using this player.

* “TOC” stands for the table of contents which contains

the total number of tracks, the total play time and other such information on the disc. This information has been recorded on the inner circumference area of the disc.

• Precautions for unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW

discs

Take care not to scratch or dirty the area near the innermost circumference of unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs. Scratches, dirt or other abnormalities in this area may make it impossible for the disc to be read. On unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded using a CD recorder for audio applications, provisional TOC information is recorded in the PMA area (*) which is further inside from the TOC information area. This player supports unfinalized discs by reading the information in the PMA area, but because this area is extremely narrow, any scratches, dirt or other abnormalities here may make it impossible for discs to be read. On some discs, this area may be very difficult to read. In cases like this, use the disc after using a CD recorder to do the finalizing. It is recommended that the finalizing be done before scratches or dirt makes it hard for the discs to be read.

* “PMA” stands for program memory area, and it refers to

the area where the provisional contents information such as the number of tracks and play times recorded on the CD-R/CD-RW discs is recorded. Discs cannot be played by this player unless the PMA has been recorded properly.

MP3

This player can play CD-R/CD-RW discs as well as discs available on the market recorded using MP3 files (*). The ID3 tag (*) is supported by this player. The album title, track title and name of the artist can be displayed for the track (file) on which the ID3 tag information has been recorded.

* “MP3” refers to music data which has been compressed by

a file format known as “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3.” Files with the “.mp3” or “.MP3” extension are called MP3 files.

* “ID3 tag” refers to a format which adds the album title, track

titles, names of the artists and other text information to the MP3 files.

• MP3 file playback

Playing albums in sequence

1. As with a music CD, place the disc recorded using the

MP3 files on the disc tray, and retract the disc tray.

2. Press the button on the player or the button on the

remote control unit. Play now starts in sequence from the first album (on a folder by folder basis (*)). (See next section.)

With a disc recorded with MP3 files, it takes about 40

∗

seconds after the player’s power has been turned on for the player’s system to be switched before initial play.

Selecting and playing albums (folders)

Select the desired album (on a folder by folder basis (*)) using the or button on the player or remote control unit. Play now starts in sequence from the selected album. The album number appears on the display. (AL xxx)

• Displaying the ID3 tag information

The following display appears when the TEXT button on the remote control unit is pressed while playing an MP3 file disc on which the ID3 tag information has been recorded.

During play

Title of track xx now playing

(The text display is automatically switched to the time display.)

Album Title

ENGLISH

This player supports the discs which have been recorded

∗

by any recorder that complies with the “Orange Book” of CD-R/CD-RW standards.

The player can play only those discs recorded in the music

∗

format (CD-DA) or using MP3 files. If there is not much recording time, it may be difficult for

∗

the data to be read out, and it may cause error. When the player is to play a CD-RW disc or unfinalized

∗

CD-R/CD-RW disc, it automatically recognizes the type of disc, and changes some of its internal settings to suit the disc concerned. For this reason, the disc reading process will take a little longer compared with regular music CDs or CD-R discs.

format, is supported as the write format. Both mode 1 (CDROM) and mode 2 (CD-ROM XA) are supported. MP3 file discs recorded using packet writing cannot be played.

The supported MP3 file sampling frequency is 16 kHz – 48

∗

kHz and the bit rate is 32 kbps – 320 kbps.

44.1kHz, 128kbps are recommended for the unit. The maximum number of characters in the ID3 tag

∗

information that can be displayed by this player is 32. Characters other than alphanumerics will not be displayed properly. Japanese characters cannot be displayed.

Digital signals are not output from the player while playing

∗

discs recorded using MP3 files. It may not be possible for CD-R/CD-RW discs on which

∗

MP3 files were recorded to be played properly depending on the environment of the personal computer used to record the files, the writing software program and the CD-R/CDRW discs concerned. Check the external components used.

MP3 files on mixed CDs or enhanced CDs containing a

∗

mixture of the CD-DA format for music purposes and MP3 files cannot be played. Only the CD-DA format for music purposes will be played.

This player also supports discs created by multisessions.

∗

It is recommended that the maximum number of sessions

∗

on a CD-R or CD-RW disc be 10, the maximum number of albums for all sessions be 20 and the maximum number of files be 200.

• Command reception

The command packets have a data length of 5, 6 or 7 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to receive serial data. At the transmission end, therefore, take steps to convert the ASCII codes into HEX data to set the data in the data packets. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.

• Status transmission

The status packets have a fixed data length of 4 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to transmit serial data. For this reason, the ASCII codes are converted into HEX data before the data is set in the data packets and transmitted. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.
