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.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

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

sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light.

• Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and
the end of the remote control unit free from dust.

• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the
glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to
use the remote control unit a shorter distance from the

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.

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
