Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment
by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your
protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT
EXPOSURE:
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet engine
180 Rocket launching pad

MP3/WMA FAQs–Frequently Asked Questions
Please read before playing an MP3/WMA CD.
Does the unit support packet write CD-RW?
Yes, it can. You can add or delete MP3/WMA files without
reformatting. It appears like a PC hard drive.
Can the unit read regular music CDs?
Yes, it can. However you can not mix MP3/WMAs and WAV
files on the same CD. If you do this your Portable MP3/WMA
CD Player will play only the MP3/WMA files.
Does the unit have Electronic Skip Protection built-in?
Yes, it has an anti-shock buffer (45 seconds for standard CD
and 120 seconds for MP3/WMA CD). What it means for the
everyday user is that it can withstand road bumps, shaking,
etc. There will be no skipping when you jog or run on a treadmill or drive on a bumpy road.
Can I use the MP3/WMA extension for non-audio data files?
No, this may result in serious malfunction and harmful noise
interference.
Can I mix MP3/WMA files with other file types on the CDR?
Yes, but your Portable MP3/WMA CD Player will ignore those
files and read only the MP3/WMA files on the CDR.
Does the unit support multi-session CDRs?
If the MP3/WMA CD is not finalized, you can burn a new
group of MP3/WMA files until the CD is full.
Does the unit support subdirectories (subfolders)?
Yes, the unit can read MP3/WMA files from subfolders.
What appears on the display when playing MP3/WMA CDs?
The album, title and artist (if set when MP3/WMA was
recorded).

SINGLE SESSION
The chart below is an example of a Windows Explorer display that will
appear on your computer monitor for a single session MP3/WMA CD
ROM with directories/albums. Check the added notes to help you
understand the MP3/WMA CD unit display and the playback sequence of
directories/albums and tracks on a single session MP3/WMA CD.
MULTI SESSION
The computer user does not need to finalize the CDR disc as music is
burned on the CD. Because of this, the music can be downloaded at
different times until the whole CD is full.
NOTES:
• The arrow pathway shows the sequence of MP3/WMA directory and file
playback.
• This example has a total of one WMA and six MP3 directories.
• Based on this layout, the first file will be “Blur01.mp3” and the last file
will be “Twain15.mp3”.
• “Skipped” denotes a directory which contains non-audio files only, e.g.
jpg, wav, etc. These cannot be detected nor played on this player.
When an album contains mixed format files, the non-MP3/WMA files
will be skipped.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for Compact Discs
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the
compact disc only by its edges. Never allow your
fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted
side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to
the compact disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use
detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a
CD cleaning kit.
• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is
probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the
compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular
motions.
• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid
damage.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high
temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can
warp the compact disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing
instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.
Cleaning the Unit
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power
source when cleaning.
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other
furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
• Mild soap and a dry cloth may be used on the front panel.
