Listening caution

EST. 1924

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.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

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 listen-

ing for a lifetime.

Battery installation

R6, AA, UM-3

Before use

Use of batteries

• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.

• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to contact with flame or water.

• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.

• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any part of your body.

Correct method of use

Notes

How discs with MP3/WMA differ from CDs

This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD-R/ RW with a computer. Files are treated as tracks and folders are treated as albums. This unit can access up to 999 tracks, 255 albums and 20 sessions.

When making MP3/WMA files to play on this unit

Disc format

Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

File format

• MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

• WMA files must have the extension “.WMA” or “.wma”.

To play in a certain order

Prefix the folder and file names with 3-digits numbers in the order you want to play them. Files may not be recorded in numbered order if the prefixes have different numbers of digits. For example: 1????.mp3, 2????.mp3, 10????.mp3. However, some writing software may also cause recording to occur in a different order.

MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson multimedia.

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that

of MP3.

Listening operations

Note

• When creating a WMA disc, ensure the copyright feature is off.

• Noise may occur when playing WMA files.

Limitations on MP3/WMA play

This unit is not compatible with packet-write format.

• When both MP3/WMA and CD-DA data is recorded on the

• disc over a number of sessions:

If the first session contains MP3/WMA recordings, the unit

•

will play from the MP3/WMA made in that session till the session before the first CD-DA recordings. If the first session contains CD-DA recordings, the unit will

•

play only the recordings made in that session. The subsequent sessions will be ignored.

You cannot use 1-Disc Random play, All-Disc Random play

• and search function.

Some MP3/WMA may not be played due to the condition of

• the disc or recording.

Recordings will not necessarily be played in the order you

• recorded them.

L Display when in the stop mode (example)

File format indicator

“MP3”: Indicates the disc contains MP3 files “WMA”: Indicates the disc contains WMA files If the disc contains both MP3 and WMA files, both “MP3” and “WMA” will light up.
