• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn’t conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the CD
receiver.
• The CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.
However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
work properly for any of the following reasons: disc
burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is
damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your
disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt
on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
• The CD receiver supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• The CD receiver does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, as you may damage the CD receiver.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custommade labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the CD
receiver and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.

Discs Made on Personal Computers
Discs made on personal computers, including those of a
compatible format, may not work properly in the CD
receiver because of incorrect settings in the disc burning
software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc
burning software for additional compatibility information.
MP3 Compatibility
• MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2,
Romeo or Joliet compliant. Supported formats:
Mode 1, Mode 2 XA Form 1.
•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 8 kHz and
48 kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps
(128 kbps recommended). Incompatible files cannot
be played.
• Constant bit rate MP3 files are recommended, however, variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files between
8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times
may not display correctly.)
• 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 CD receiver supports up to 499 MP3 files and
folders. Files and folders in excess of this cannot be
played. Note that if the file and folder structure is very
complicated, the CD receiver may not be able to read
or play all of the MP3 files on the disc.
• Disc, file, and folder names may contain up to 32 characters.
• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
file is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
• The remaining time cannot be displayed when playing
MP3 files.
• MP3 file and folder names (excluding the extension)
are shown on the display.
• 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.”
• Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD Extra
disc is played. However, you can set the CD receiver
so that it plays any MP3 files in the data session of a
CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data session contains no
MP3 files, the audio session will be played regardless.
See “Setting MP3 Preferences” on page 37 for more
information.
• The Emphasis is not supported.

Disc Notes—Continued
• The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1
and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Versions 2.5 and later are not supported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have priority and will be displayed regardless of the ID3 VER 1
preference on page 37.
•For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized
will be those embedded in the beginning of the file. We
recommend that you include only title, artist name,
and album name information in ID3 tags. Compressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be displayed.
Note:
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.

•To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
•Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, as they
may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or
near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
•Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.

Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.

the tabs into the base, as shown.
Connect both wires of the AM loop
2
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Push Insert wire Release
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Once the CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the
position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
2
fix the FM antenna into position.
Thumbtacks, etc.
Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 17).
Once the CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the
position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the
CD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 17).

Connecting Antennas—Continued
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in
addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor antenna
Insulated antenna cable
AM loop antenna
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Strip about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Push the lever and insert the
bare wires. Release the lever. Make sure the terminal is gripping the
bare wires and not the insulation.
• Connect only speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower
impedance may damage the speaker.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the CD receiver.
