• 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.

• This unit cannot play fi les recorded using packet write.

• If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit

plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc.

If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or

WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.

• Depending on how you create MP3 fi les, they may not play in the order

you numbered them or may not play at all.

Note on CD-R and CD-RW

This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW recorded with CD-DA or MP3 (MP3:

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

Selecting fi ne 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 listening for a lifetime.
