Main features
Toroidal transformer
This unit features a toroidal transformer that produces less
vibration and magnetic leakage fl ux compared to conventional
power transformers. The materials and manufacturing process
of the ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce vibration,
while the short-ring attached to the perimeter of the transformer
reduce magnetic leakage fl ux.
Large-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 3300 µF capacitor carefully selected for its
acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power supply
circuit.

Cautions on handling
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
• When leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty,
preventing it from receiving the signals properly.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside
the unit, causing the unit to fail to operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power off
and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using
the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Next, disconnect the cables connected to other system units before
moving the unit.
Discs
Discs playable on this unit
q Super Audio CDs
Super Audio CDs with the following logos indicated below can be
played on this unit.
w Music CDs
Discs marked with the logo at right can be played in
this unit.
e CD-R/CD-RW
NOTE
• Discs in special shapes (heartshaped discs, octagonal discs,
etc.) cannot be played. Do not
attempt to play them, as doing
so can damage the unit.
• Some discs and some recording formats cannot be played.
• Non-finalized discs cannot be played.
b What is finalization?
Finalization is the process that makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs
playable on compatible players.
Holding discs
Do not touch the signal surface.
Loading discs
• Place the disc in the tray, label side up.
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.
• Place the discs flat, 12 cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8
cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).
Outer tray guideInner tray guide
12 cm disc8 cm disc
• Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.
NOTE
• If you place a DVD or other disc that cannot be played by this unit in
the disc tray, the tray does not open/close for about 1 minute. When
that happens, press 5 after “Error” is displayed.
• If you place a disc that contains other than MP3 or WMA files, “No
File” is displayed.
Cautions on loading discs
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.

Cautions on handling
• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.
• Do not bend or heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole in the center.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.
Cautions on storing discs
• Be sure to remove discs after using them.
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.
• Do not store discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Dusty or humid places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cleaning discs
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on a disc, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.
• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.
Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.
Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Explanation of terms
B
Bit rate
This expresses the read amount per 1 second of video/audio data
recorded in a disc.
M
MP3 (MPEG AudioPlayer 3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the
data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining
sound quality equivalent to a music CD.
S
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal)
at regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each
reading in digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is
to the original.
Super audio CD
There are three types of Super Audio CDs:
q Single layer discs
Single layer Super Audio CD with just an HD layer.
w Dual layer discs
Super Audio CD with a double HD layer, offering extended
playing time and high sound quality.
e Hybrid discs
Two-layer Super Audio CD with an HD layer and a CD layer.
The signals on the CD layer can be played on a regular CD
player.
W
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media® Player Ver.7, 7.1,
Windows Media® Player for Windows® XP and Windows Media®
Player 9 Series.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not
work properly.
Types of Super Audio CDs

• What is the HD layer?
The HD layer is a layer of high density signals for Super Audio CDs.
• What is the CD layer?
The CD layer is the layer of signals that can be read on a regular CD
player.
