Disc Notes

Precautions for Playback

Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label surface can be used. Do not use discs designed for purposes other than audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal noise could damage the speakers or amplifier.

* This CD receiver supports CD-R and CD-RW

discs.

Note that some discs may not playback because

of the disc characteristics, scratches,

contamination or the recording state. A disc

recorded with an audio CD record will not

playback unless it is finalized.

Never use discs which have a special shape (such as hearts or octagons). These types of discs could jam and damage the CD receiver.

CD Playback with Copy-control Function

Some audio CDs with copy-control function do not comply with official CD standards. These are special discs and cannot be played with this CD receiver.

Playback of MP3 and WMA Discs

MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW can be played with this CD receiver.

• Use discs which have been recorded following the ISO9660 Level 2 file system. (The supported directory depth is eight levels, the same as ISO9660 Level 1) Discs recorded with the hierarchical file system (HFS) cannot be played.

• Up to 99 folders (including the root folder), and up to 499 folders (including root) and files can be recognized and played.

• Always close the disc tray.

Notes:

• A disc recorded with a recorder or personal computer may not play in some cases. (Cause: Disc’s characteristics, damaged or dirty disc, dirt on player’s lens, dew condensation, etc.)

• A disc recorded on a personal computer may not play because of the application settings or environment. Record the disc with the proper format. (Contact the application maker for details.)

• A disc with insufficient storage capacity may not playback properly.

Playback of MP3 Discs

• Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “. mp3” are supported.

• This CD receiver supports files recorded in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 (32-320kbps), with the sampling rate of 32/44.1/48kHz.

• Variable bitrates (VBR) between 32kbps and 320kbps are supported. The time information during VBR playback may not display correctly.

Playback of WMA Discs

• WMA stands for “Windows Media® Audio”, an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation USA.

• Only WMA files with the extension “.WMA” or “.wma” are supported.

• Encode the WMA file with an application approved by Microsoft Corporation USA. The file may not playback correct if encoded with an unapproved application.

Playback surface

Disc Notes—Continued

Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape, rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs with decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver. Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.

Caring for Discs

If the disc is dirty, the CD receiver will have a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center outwards. To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning spray for analog records or antistatic agents, etc. Never use volatile chemicals such as benzine or paint thinner as they can impregnate the disc surface.

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 antenna. The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna (CR-545)

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

AM antenna jack (CR-545)

FM antenna jack (CR-545)

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 14).

Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting the DAB / FM Antenna (CR-545UKD)

The supplied indoor DAB / FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the DAB / FM antenna, as

shown.

Use thumbtacks or something

similar to fix the DAB / FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna (CR-545)

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.
