∫
Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥ Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
≥ This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more
time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will be displayed on
one vertical line in the menu screen.
≥
There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as content and folders are treated as
groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This
should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits,
and should be done in the order you want to play them (this
may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”
[WMA]
≥ You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
≥ This unit is not compatible with Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: a
file that contains the same content encoded at several different bit rates).
[MP3]
≥ This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥ Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz
[JPEG]
≥ To view JPEG files on this unit:
– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard Version 1.0. Some
digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF Standard Version
1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture unviewable.
– Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different name.
≥ This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other such formats, still
pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play pictures with attached audio.

Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service
life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Volt ag e
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can
overload the unit and cause a fire. Do not use a DC
power source. Check the source carefully when setting
the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and
not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can
cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place
heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling
the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not
handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can
cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately
disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact
your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They
contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into
the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions
occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your
dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.
