(Inside of product)

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ≥Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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.

≥ 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”

e.g. [MP3]

[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]

≥ JPEG files taken on a digital camera that

conforms to DCF Standard Version 1.0 are displayed.

– Pictures taken using digital camera

functions not supported by DCF like automatic picture rotation may not be displayed.

– Files that have been altered, edited or

saved with computer picture editing software may not be displayed.

≥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.

∫ Handling precautions

≥ Do not attach labels or stickers to discs

(this may cause disc warping, rendering it unusable).

≥ Do not write on the label side with a ball-

point pen or other writing instrument.

≥ Do not use record cleaning sprays,

benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥ Do not use scratch-proof protectors or
